Dan Basel Brings Premium Home Care Services to Jefferson City, Columbia Region

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - Jan. 15, 2016 - PRLog -- When Dan Basel’s mom was struggling with Alzheimer’s Disease and living her final years, his older sister was able to step in and provide the kind of care his mom needed. Now Basel is hoping to provide that same level of compassionate care to seniors in his community through his new business, Home Helpers and Direct Link of Mid-Missouri.

Home Helpers is the nation’s leading franchise specializing in comprehensive home care for seniors, new mothers and individuals needing recuperative and continuing assistance. Direct Link is its proprietary line of 24/7 medical alert systems, including a fall sensor and an automated medication dispenser. Home Helpers and Direct Link of Mid-Missouri serves Jefferson City, Columbia and the surrounding areas.

“My mom passed away about three years ago after suffering from Alzheimer’s for six years. I was lucky that my older sister Pat could care for my mom for those years, but I know other families aren’t in that kind of position. That’s why I opened this business. I want to raise the bar in in-home care and provide a premium level of service to seniors in my region,” Basel said.

Before opening this business, Basel spent more than 30 years as a controller and an account executive for various information technology companies where he consulted executives and business owners on how to automate business processes. More recently, Basel became familiar with the Senior Network of businesses in Long Island and the need for home care. Pablo Martinez – a friend and Home Helpers owner in California – introduced Basel to the Home Helpers franchise at the beginning of this summer.

Home Helpers and Direct Link offers free in-home consultations and works with each client to create a flexible, affordable care plan based on a person’s individual needs. Services offered include personal care such as grooming, bathing, ambulation, medication management and care management as well as respite care, meal preparation, laundry, light housekeeping, companionship and transportation.

“When my sister was caring for my mom, she was reluctant to bring anyone else in to help. I know that’s a hard decision, but even having occasional respite care can make a big difference for caregivers. At Home Helpers, that’s something we specialize in doing – coming in to help when you need it. Navigating the options of care for seniors and those needing recuperative assistance can be complicated. I want to sit down with you, go over the options and see how or if Home Helpers would be a good fit. I want to help you make an educated decision on the best way to spend your future,” Basel said.

With Home Helpers, each individual client receives services tailored to meet their specific needs by caregivers who become an extension of their family. Home Helpers’ full-range of home care services empower clients to live healthier and more rewarding lives in the privacy, safety, and comfort of their own homes.

“The kind of quality, in-home care Home Helpers can provide is designed to enhance the lives of our seniors. It’s also my personal commitment – and slogan – to Slow Down for Seniors. The Greatest Generation is full of stories and people who have lived incredibly rich lives. I want to hear those stories and I want to build a team of caregivers who want to hear those stories too,” Basel said.
