Superior Senior Care, Inc. was originally founded in Hot Springs in 1985 as an alternative to nursing home living.  Company owners Rita Hurst and Joe Pascual anticipated the demand for these needs and established Superior Senior Care as a leader in caregiver referrals for the elderly in their homes.  Caregivers can be scheduled for as little as four hours per day to 24-hour live-in care, as well as more intensive around-the-clock, seven days per week shift care.  Superior Senior Care participates in the Arkansas Medicaid Elderchoices program, as well the Arkansas Adults with Physical Disabilities (AAPD) program.  Superior Senior Care can provide referrals for assistance in the activities of daily living, temporary recuperative care, or long term care where the clients remain at home, or in familiar surroundings.  Superior Senior care can also provide referrals for assistance for in-hospital care, or nursing home visits when family members can’t be present.   

Specific tasks may include such varied duties as light housekeeping, preparing meals or running errands for the client.  Superior Senior Care works with families to try and determine the best caregiver for their specific needs.  While some families may just require very little help in the home, or hospital, others may feel the need for caregivers on an around-the-clock basis.  Each families needs are different and since Superior Senior Care has been referring caregivers for over 22 years, we certainly have the experience to help when is needed most.   

Superior Senior Care’s entire philosophy is based around the families needs.  They are family owned and operated and have lived in the community for over 30 years.  Their primary goal is to assist the family in finding a caregiver that fits their loved ones needs.
