Caring Senior Service opens new Sugar Land, Texas location
Owner Preeti Jha decided to join the home care franchise after witnessing the challenges families face when they can't provide in-person care for their aging loved ones HOUSTON, June 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Caring Senior Service, a non-medical, personalized home care services company, announced today that it has opened its 20th Texas location with a new office at 3 Sugar Creek Center Blvd, Suite 100, in Sugar Land. Owner Preeti Jha said her decision to become a Caring Senior Service franchise owner was based on her desire to give back to the community and because of personal events that shaped her outlook on aging care. "I had lifelong entrepreneurial aspirations and a deeply personal desire to give back to the community," she said. "When both my mother and mother-in-law became ill, I witnessed the challenges that families face when they can't personally provide care for their aging loved ones. Our mothers lived in India and couldn't come here to live with us. Not being able to provide that physical support made a lasting impression on me. I want to be there to help other sons and daughters ensure their parents receive compassionate and dignified care. Caring Senior Service allows me to do both." Jha said joining the Caring Senior Service team allows her to combine these passions while also addressing the need for more senior care in the Sugar Land area. "By delivering quality care, we not only improve the lives of seniors but also offer invaluable support to their families," she said. "In essence, it's about honoring the memory of my own mother by being present for others." Jha started her career as a software engineer but grew into leadership roles as a program manager, a project manager and a product line manager. She received a bachelor's degree in information technology from Berhampur University in India and, just this spring, received her master of business administration (MBA) from Rice Business in Houston. Caring Senior Service of Sugar Land offers respite care, transportation, meal preparation, companionship, medication reminders and other personal care services to seniors and others who need assistance in the Sugar Land area. Clients also receive a 43-point home safety assessment and a tablet with the home care company's Family Portal application pre-loaded so the client, caregiver and client family can improve communication.

Caring Senior Service names Galesburg, Illinois caregiver its 2024 Caregiver of the Year
Matt Carver was chosen because of his commitment to professionalism and his willingness to learn new skills to customize care for his clients SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Feb. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Caring Senior Service, a private-duty, non-medical home care services company, recently named Matt Carver as its 2024 Caregiver of the Year and will provide him with a trip to the company's annual owner's conference in Cancún, Mexico, in April, as well as a local celebration. Carver was nominated for the prestigious award by the location's agency director, Katy Packingham, because of his willingness to go the extra mile for both his clients and the company. The nomination was supported by Caring Senior Service of Galesburg owners Ian and Lisa Klaes. "Matt goes the extra mile for all his clients, learning new skills so he can help them with any specialized care they need or even assist them on outings," Lisa Klaes said. "For example, Matt agreed to go with a client on a fishing trip, knowing that he would be the primary caregiver for the entire three-day trip. He not only rose to that occasion but gave the client a wonderful vacation he had not experienced in nearly a decade." Klaes said Carver also has some clients who require specialized care because of their injuries or illnesses, and he is always willing to expand his knowledge to ensure those clients have the proper care. To participate in the contest, caregivers must be actively employed with the company, must have worked at least 750 hours during 2024 and must be GreatCare® Advanced certified. In addition to Carver, two other caregivers were recognized for their hard work as the first and second runners up. The 2024 first runner-up is Carol Robbins, a caregiver at Caring Senior Service of Brazoria County, Texas, and the second runner-up is Linda Huit, a caregiver at the Abilene, Texas, location. The winners were announced at the company's quarterly conference in January. "One of Matt's greatest assets is his positive attitude," said Caring Senior Service founder and CEO Jeff Salter. "He doesn't just do the work, he takes pride in doing the best job he knows how to do. It's caregivers like Matt, Carol and Linda who make the customer experience at Caring such a success."
