About Us
Senior Provisions is a Family Owned Business
Since 2011, we are a family owned, faith-based company that helps clients find True Solutions to their senior living and care needs. Our services are No Cost to families because of our partnerships with vetted senior living communities and home care providers. We provide resources to our clients and providers and seek to advocate for improved quality of senior care.
Our Guiding Principles
Our Mission
Our mission is to come alongside seniors and their families, guiding them to true care solutions while coordinating their decisions. We are committed to serving each family with integrity, while advocating for improved quality of care.
We strive to encourage the individual, support the caregiver and further the education of the community on aging issues.
“And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.”
– Philippians 4:19
Our Vision
Our Vision is shaped by our passion and experience serving seniors and their broad spectrum of needs. Many seniors have their dignity, privacy, and resources mishandled. We commit to be a true advocate, equipped with the knowledge of the challenges and resources, to better serve You.
Senior living and care resources are uniquely suited to serve the personal needs and desires of each senior. There are many options when it comes to Independent Living, Assisted Living, Personal Care Homes, Dementia & Memory Care, and Home Care, but there are usually only one or two that represent the best “care-value” for meeting your needs, budget, and location.
And Beyond
To address the needs of a Senior and their Family beyond specific care needs, Senior Provisions facilitates community caregiver groups, trains businesses serving the senior community on best-practices, educates care professionals through CEUs, and has developed ministry programs for churches, volunteers, and caregivers.
Advising on the care and safety of your loved one is an awesome privilege. Every day, we strive to raise the expectations and standards of those serving the senior community. Our approach is personal and comprehensive. It is personal because we are by your side on your journey. It is comprehensive because we are uniquely equipped to unbiasedly serve your interests.
Our Team
A successful team beats with one heart.
