Bloomfield Native Opens Senior Home Care Site In West Hartford

WEST HARTFORD/BLOOMFIELD, CT — A Bloomfield native has opened a senior home care business in West Hartford, marking the company's first location in Connecticut and the Northeast.

Caring Senior Service, a Texas-based company providing non-medical home care, announced the opening of its new office at 901 Farmington Ave. in West Hartford.

The location is owned by Taniesha Thomas, a Connecticut native from Bloomfield who has years of hands-on caregiving experience, according to the company.

“Improving senior care across my home community is my calling,” Thomas said. “Caring Senior Service represents the heartfelt, dedicated care I want to provide to our area seniors, allowing them to age in place with dignity while giving their families absolute peace of mind.”

The West Hartford office will provide customized non-medical home and companion care to older adults in the Greater Hartford area.

Services offered by the company include help with personal care, bathing, errands, meal preparation, and other daily activities.

Caring Senior Service founder and CEO Jeff Salter said Thomas' caregiving background and ties to the area were factors in the company's move into Connecticut.

“Taniesha’s background as a caregiver, combined with her strong local connections and passion for senior care, makes her the perfect partner for our Connecticut expansion,” Salter said. “As more families seek trusted in-home options, her leadership will help us meet this growing need.”

The company cited demographic changes in the Hartford region as one reason for expanding into the market.

According to USAFacts data cited by Caring Senior Service, people 65 and older accounted for 19.5% of the Hartford metropolitan area's population in 2024.

The West Hartford opening represents a significant geographic expansion for Caring Senior Service, which was founded by Salter in San Antonio, Texas, in 1991 and began franchising in 2002.

The company now has more than 50 locations nationwide, according to the announcement.
