The fight to raise the Federal Minimum wage to $15/hour received a considerable amount of coverage.  While the bill to do so failed in the Senate, it prompted a lot of discussion and enthusiasm among low-wage workers in the food service industry where the tipped wage has stayed at $2.13 for years. 

The good news is that to earn $15/hour won't need a presidential decree - Service Providers at eHark are already earning $15 an hour - and they are paid to do so while working in a community of friendly and caring entrepreneurs who deliver non-medical services to seniors.

With the lifting of most COVID-19 restrictions, many companies have chosen to summon all their employees back to the offices.  For those who have been working remotely for the past year, returning to the office and facing a daily commute may not sound appealing. 

For those who don’t want to go back to work in an office, group, or team setting, or for those who may have been laid off because of COVID-19, eHark is offering a new job opportunity. You can become an Independent Contractor delivering non-medical companion services to seniors, the fastest growing and neediest population segment in the country.

eHark is accepting new clients due to the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions.  Covid-19 was particularly devastating to the elderly as a population group - both in terms of mortality rates as well as increasing the level and degree of isolation often experienced by the elderly due to lockdowns.   With the COVID vaccination having been demonstrated as effective in keeping seniors safe, eHark is resuming accepting new clients.  All of our service providers are required to be fully vaccinated.

We offer a carefully-selected range of customized non-medical services for aging seniors. Just a few of these are senior Day Care Service in your home, short and long distance transport services at affordable prices, listening and conversation, meal preparation assistance and helping with tasks like doing laundry.

Loneliness - and the depression that often accompanyies it - are among the leading causes that can lead to older adults losing their appetite. According to to the Doctor's Health Press, sometimes just the prospect of eating alone is enough to decrease eating in the elderly.  When a senior begins to develop a habit of not cooking because they are going to eat alone, it can begin a spiral leading to weight loss, malnutrition and frailness. Malnutrition has become a growing concern as so much of the United States population ages. Inadequate nutrition intake can result in a number of illnesses that negatively impact the aging community. Weight loss, fatigue, loss of strength, and muscle weakness can develop and lead to falls and broken bones. Malnutrition also impacts memory, depression, and anxiety.

Many seniors have lived through and had amazing experiences. That is part of what it means to be a senior. 

Many seniors are unable to drive due to medication or because their eyesight starts going to a point where they are unable to renew their licenses.  Some estimates are as high as one in five seniors being unable to drive themselves.  Many of these seniors are cut off by not being able to drive and end up being forced to stay at home because of a lack of transportation. This in turn can have knock-on effects, like missing medical appointments, being unable to shop for groceries, or missing social events. 

Do you, family members, or friends need non medical companionship services? These services can be invaluable, especially during the holiday season. eHark is a non-medical service provider for seniors, locally owned in Mooresville, NC.
