About Us
Caregivers of the Carolinas is a home help agency based in Upstate South Carolina. We provide an array of senior adult assistance services that allow seniors to continue living in their own homes while receiving the care required to maintain their independence.
Owners Jim DeWitt and Wendell Reynolds have degrees in health administration and a combined 14 years of experience in the healthcare field in Upstate South Carolina, including administrative positions in a local hospital and assisted living homes.
During the course of their work, Jim and Wendell became aware of the need for a quality care provider for those seniors in the community who wished to stay in their own homes. As a result, they launched Caregivers of the Carolinas, an agency of outstanding caregivers who can provide help with activities of daily living that may be necessary as a person ages.
These activities could include bathing, grooming, medical reminders, physical therapy and occupational therapy, as well as providing company and companionship when families are not available.
In addition, because their senior care experiences all come from the Upstate area, Wendell and Jim are well-acquainted with the resources and medical services available to seniors in the area.
