Caring For Our Community, One Senior at a Time

Almost a third of Oak Island is 65 or older. That is not an accident. People retire to this island on purpose, and the result is a town where your neighbors are in the same season of life you are. What island living does not change is that the doctor is across the bridge, the beach house probably sits up a flight of stairs, and hurricane season still comes every year. Caring Senior Service provides non-medical in-home care in Oak Island for people who chose this place and intend to keep it. Our caregivers handle bathing, dressing, meals, and safe movement around the house, and they make the drive over for appointments in Southport or Wilmington so your loved one does not have to. Retiring somewhere beautiful should not come with an expiration date. We look forward to serving you and your loved ones.

  Having caregivers around the clock for my mother, for many years, I definitely feel qualified to speak about  the caliber of the finest agency,  here, in the Wilmington area.  Caring Senior Services is the best this town has to offer.  Their staff members are vetted, trained, great with patient care, bathing, dressing,  and patient’s personal hygiene too.  We have to have all daily menus planned and meals prepped and cooked.  While we have our own daily staff to clean, Caring Sr. Services assists with errands, trips to the grocery, entertainment, outings and all transport, current events, and most importantly, the household pet’s schedules, meals, and overall welfare.  We have on average two to three shifts daily.  After each shift, trash is emptied, floors are vacuumed and mopped.  Our team is always happy to back their way out cleaning and smiling, all the while!

Sincerely,

M M Jeter

I saw their ad in Saint Mark’s Catholic Church and decided to reach out — and I’m so thankful I did! From the very first call, the staff at Caring Senior Service has been nothing short of amazing. They were compassionate, professional, and truly cared about helping my mother get the support she needed.

Their caregivers have been absolutely wonderful — reliable, kind, and genuinely invested in my mom’s well-being. They stepped in on short notice and were able to provide 24/7 care, which gave our family tremendous peace of mind. The team also went the extra mile by helping us make her home safer and more comfortable, recommending resources and accommodations for her new physical limitations.

Because our family travels frequently and can’t always be with my mom, the staff has truly become an extension of our family. They treat her with the same love and respect that we would, and that means the world to us.

They’ve been a blessing for our family, and I can’t recommend Caring Senior Service enough for anyone looking for trustworthy, compassionate care for their loved ones!

  I can’t say enough good things about Caring Senior Service. They’ve been helping my mother for several months now, and the difference has been amazing. The caregivers are dependable, kind, and truly treat her like family. They go above and beyond—whether it’s helping with meals, keeping her company, or making sure she’s comfortable and safe.

Communication has been great too; the office staff always keep me updated and are quick to respond whenever I have questions. It gives me such peace of mind knowing my mom is in good hands. The nurse Krista has been an absolute pleasure to work with. She gives me peace of mind, knowing someone is looking out for my mother when I’m not close by. We couldn’t be happier and would highly recommend Caring Senior Service to anyone looking for trustworthy, compassionate care for their loved one.

  I hired CSS to transport my parents to my wedding.  All I can tell you is that Brenda, the caregiver, is now a part of my special day!  Krista and Brenda went above and beyond anything I could’ve ever hoped for!  I will be forever grateful for them!

  For almost a year, we have enlisted the support of Caring Senior Services.  From our first meeting, Joey totally understood
our needs and has steadily supplied my sister-n-law with a support team. Our person-to-person communications, which are very important to us, are thorough and productive.  We really appreciate all that Joey has done and continues to do to maintain dialogue and effectiveness.  My sister-in-law went into a state of shock at the sudden death of her son last summer. He was not only her son, but her best friend, lifelong companion and caregiver.  Joey and his team have been a huge part of her recovery.  Our sincere Thanks to the Team at Caring - for Caring.
Sincerely,
Judy Hadjandreas

  Caring Senior Services has been providing 24/7 care for the past 8 weeks for my sister who had a nearly fatal auto accident in Southport NC.  Several broken bones including both arms, one ankle, sternum, and other injures. They are helping with all aspects of her daily care, and helping with rehab, follow up doctor appointments, etc.  She has made great progress, and the care from CSS has been a big reason.  Krista and Joey (the management staff) have been great with follow up and communication.  The day to day caregivers have followed what they need to do to help reach a complete recovery.

  We had two different care givers at my mom’s house We met with Mollie before she started the weekend shift. And she  was great. She listened to my mom needs. And my mom is not easy going. Alicia did the shift during the week and she also was very accommodating to my mom’s needs. My mom got hit by car when she was riding her bike and she couldn’t get up because of her head Injury. And I live out of town and was totally dependent on the care givers. I  definitely will use them again. Thankfully my mom is doing better now.
