When Jim Hansen owner of Seniors, Helping Seniors saw the opportunity to help seniors help other seniors, he knew he found his calling in life. Jim took care of his own grandmother until she was 96. “I learned first-hand that one individual is all it takes to help another remain independent in their own home” says Jim Hansen.” I also learned that when Gram was put in a nursing home she only lasted a short time, she wanted to be in her home”, Hansen added.
