History
History: Our founder and CEO, Jeff Salter, worked in the home health care field as an office assistant when he was in college. One of his duties was to manage a list of caregivers that he could refer out to work privately for clients, since the agency he worked for did not offer that service.
Over time, he recognized the huge demand for non-medical home care services for seniors, and felt he could insert professionalism and organization in the process to make it a better experience for clients. In 1991 he started Caring Senior Service in Odessa, Texas.
The company expanded with several more locations throughout Texas before beginning to franchise nationwide in 2002. Today Jeff is still very involved in home care, with 5 locations of his own.
Many people from our corporate team either own franchises or have left the corporate team to open their own franchises with Caring; including our VP who owns 5 locations, and several others who currently own 1 or more locations throughout the country.
We are a home care company at our core and live the day to day right alongside our franchisees.
