1. 'Santa's Senior Helpers' of Evanston, Illinois, Lend a Helping Hand for
Holidays
Elders' elves help local seniors with everything from 'Gift Wrap to Google'
(November 29,2011) Holidays are "the most wonderful time of the year" to many - but if you're
a senior, it's also one of the most challenging. If seniors' children can't be by their side to help
them put all the dressings on the holidays, Santa's Senior Helpers can! These elders' elves drive
the cars, open the doors and wait in the lines for their aging friends who can't do it on their
own anymore. They hunt for deals, decorate, wrap the presents and help seniors shop online.
They are Santa's Senior Helpers, and they aren't from the North Pole.
Caregivers from Senior Helpers of Evanston, Illinois (IL), a leading in-home elder care provider, are
doing the little things and helping thousands of seniors from coast-to-coast prepare for the
holidays. Whether they need errands run, cleaning done or even online shopping assistance,
Santa's Senior Helpers are lending a helping hand to embrace the season.
"The holidays can be tough on seniors, especially those who aren't able get out and to do things
like they used to," says Jonathan Wishnick with Senior Helpers of Evanston, Illinois (IL). "We
care for seniors in their own homes year-round but the holidays tend to bring additional
challenges that require an extra set of hands and feet. From gift wrap to Google, our caregivers
are taking care of everything seniors we care for need to celebrate the holidays."
Two new trends many seniors are embracing this holiday season are more on-line shopping and
increased experimentation with Internet-based technologies. Santa's Senior Helpers show
them how to find the best deals online and help seniors learn to use newer communication
tools, like Skype and social media platforms, to connect with family and friends who may be far
away.

"We work with seniors living on their own each day and we understand how difficult and
frustrating it can be when they realize they can't do it all by themselves anymore," Wishnick
says. "The holidays can be a hectic and physically demanding time for a lot of people. We're
helping seniors by shouldering some of the burden so they can focus on enjoying the season,
which is really what this time of year is all about."
