PITTSBURGH—Seniors Helping Seniors, a senior care services provider, announced the opening of its newest in-home care services franchise location in Northeast Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The company said this expansion aims to bring personalized care to the senior community in Pittsburgh and focus on a peer-to-peer caregiving model.
The franchise's owners, local residents Travis Hudson and Dina DiFranceco, intend to bring their combined skills and shared passions to the new venture. DiFranceco, a nurse with more than 25 years of experience in senior care, and Hudson, a certified public account with two decades of experience in the corporate sector, decided to join forces in an effort to make a positive impact on the lives of local seniors.
"We've both been drawn to senior care throughout our careers," DiFranceco said. "For me, it started in long-term care nursing, and over the years, I always found myself coming back to this special demographic. The relationship I had with my grandmother was transformative, and it's an honor to now support seniors in our own community."
"We've both been looking for a meaningful way to contribute and starting a Seniors Helping Seniors franchise felt like a natural fit,” Hudson said. “The brand's unique model, where active seniors help their less active counterparts, was a distinguishing factor for us. It creates a real sense of connection and purpose.”
The new Seniors Helping Seniors franchise seeks to meet the growing demand for long-term care with its approach to senior care. The Northeast Pittsburgh location aims to serve communities across Northern Allegheny, Westmoreland County and surrounding communities by providing services like companionship, meal preparation and personal care.
"We've become a leader in this industry by prioritizing the best possible care for our seniors, and that means partnering with only the most passionate and hard-working franchisees," said Namrata Yocom-Jan, president of Seniors Helping Seniors. "That's exactly what we've found with our new franchisee partners Travis and Dina, who are well-equipped to provide unparalleled in-home services to those in need throughout Pittsburgh."
