Dr. Walter Kimble is bringing Seniors Helping Seniors® to Northwest Philadelphia, offering in-home care services through a senior-to-senior model.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Seniors Helping Seniors® in-home care services, a franchisor with 125 franchise partners in more than 30 states and international markets, has grown rapidly in recent years by building a workforce of talented caregivers who create meaningful relationships with their senior care clients. Now, local resident Dr. Walter Kimble has opened a new location to serve the Philadelphia community.
Dr. Kimble is combining his 35-year pharmaceutical career and passion for community service with senior care. Inspired by his experience as a caregiver for his mother, Dr. Kimble was drawn to the brand's mission to help seniors maintain independence, aligning with his values and servant leadership approach.
The franchise owner sees his Seniors Helping Seniors® franchise as a way to build a supportive community network. Aiming to hire 100 seniors in Northwest Philadelphia within a year, he hopes to offer meaningful opportunities for seniors to stay active and engaged. The brand stands apart in the in-home care industry by prioritizing the hiring of active seniors to help their less active counterparts.
"What drew me to this brand was the model itself — seniors helping other seniors who need a bit more support," said Dr. Kimble. "I was already working with seniors in the community through my church, so this felt like a natural extension of what I was doing. When I saw that a territory was available in an area I'm already serving, it just felt like a perfect fit — a win-win."

Seniors Helping Seniors® services is expanding in Pennsylvania with its unique care services and approach to caregiver-client matching. This new location, which marks the ninth in Pennsylvania, will focus on serving the communities within Northwest Philadelphia.

"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 franchise owners," said Seniors Helping Seniors® President Namrata Yocom-Jan. "That's exactly what we've found with Dr. Kimble as a new partner, who is well-equipped to provide unparalleled in-home services to those in need throughout Philadelphia."
