The Greene and Putnam County Chambers of Commerce held a joint ribbon cutting July 21 to introduce Seniors Helping Seniors Mid-South Georgia to Lake Country with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the company’s new Eatonton office.
Community leaders, Chamber members, referral partners, and local residents gathered to celebrate the opening of the agency’s second location, which will serve older adults throughout Greene, Putnam, and nearby Lake Country communities.
Seniors Helping Seniors Mid-South Georgia owner and President Jeanine Lewis Canales shared the inspiration behind expanding into Lake Country and the growing need for compassionate, relationship-based home care that allows older adults to remain safely and independently in the homes they love.
“Our mission is to help seniors age in place with dignity while surrounding them with caregivers who feel less like hired help and more like trusted friends,” Canales said.
“Lake Country is home to one of Georgia’s fastest- growing senior populations, and we’re honored to bring a model of care built on empathy, dependability, and meaningful human connection.”
Seniors Helping Seniors is a nationally recognized in-home care franchise with more than 200 franchise partners operating across over 400 territories nationwide. The organization is distinguished by its unique caregiving model that intentionally matches older adults with mature caregivers who share similar life experiences, creating relationships built on trust, understanding, compassion, and companionship.
Seniors Helping Seniors prioritizes hiring mature caregivers – often seniors themselves – to provide companionship, personal care assistance, transportation, meal preparation, light housekeeping, respite care, and other non-medical services. The company’s rigorous caregiver selection process emphasizes character, reliability, and compassion to ensure each client receives both dependable and deeply personal care.
The new Lake Country operation complements the agency’s Augusta headquarters and reflects its continued investment in expanding access to high-quality in-home care throughout the region.
