“We at Arbor Terrace enjoy having the ladies from Senior Oral Services come in. They have been very beneficial to our residents. From the very beginning, we loved the professional attitude that these three girls bring. We have one resident who can be resistant but with the warm smiles and positive attitude that Ann, Diana, and Kelly bring, they are successfully able to clean this resident’s teeth comfortably. They are very warm and friendly to all of our residents and their families. They are so knowledgeable when it comes to working with our residents that have a diagnosis of dementia. Our families were pleased to hear that we were offering this service in our community for their loved ones. It was nice for them to be able to receive this much needed dental service in the comfort of their own home instead of having to go out to the dentist. Our residents really have bonded and now feel really comfortable with these three ladies. We love our SOS girls so do our residents and families”
“I have been so impressed by the dedicated team of Senior Oral-Health Service in the way they improve the quality of life and the oral health of my senior patients who are struggling with being able to maintain a healthy mouth in senior retirement and assisted living communities. One of the few things that senior patients look forward to is being able to enjoy eating foods they like and they need healthy teeth to do this. The Senior Oral-Health Service team makes that real for them for the long term. Dr. Douglas B. Phillips (dentist).”
“The hygiene providers with SOS are incredible at what they do! I have seen their work first hand and not only are they excellent hygienists but it is obvious that they have focused training on the additional skills necessary to care for the elderly in a non-office environment. It is so important to maintain the oral care for these individuals as their health diminishes and to notice problems so that they can be addressed as many of the patients cannot express when they are in pain. These high level clinicians working are passionate about hygiene and they do so much to help their patients. Thank you SOS!”
“Our community sees the services of SOS as such an asset to the kind of complete care that we provide our residents. We are a Dementia Care Community, and it can be a challenge to complete oral care at times. SOS provides that awesome extra layer of excellent oral care! We are so fortunate to have been able to offer their services at Brookdale Asheville Walden Ridge. It means the world to our residents!”
“We partner with them at Harmony at Reynolds Mountain. They are wonderful. They offer such amazing services for our residents. If I could give them more stars I would.”
“As a Senior Care Manager, I was so thankful to discover SOS dental services for clients residing in assisted living facilities. Sadly, the daily oral hygiene for seniors is one of the first tasks of self-care that declines as cognitive and physical limitations take their toll. I have been working with Kelly, Diana and Ann since Jan 2019 and more recently Sabrina and they are all excellent care providers. They each have a gentle bedside manner with seniors, their care and schedules are consistent. I receive by email a report directly following every weekly cleaning and their invoicing is easy with an automated monthly draft and the cost is extremely reasonable.”
“As a dental professional, I have seen the positive impact SOS has had on the community. The staff are caring, professional, and highly educated. The compassionate dental care they provide is top notch and much needed!”
“Caring for a loved one long distance means that I can’t visit my mom as much as I would like. And while she is mobile and resilient, dementia impacts her ability to remember and recall self-care activities. SOS provides vital oral care for those who can no longer care for their teeth or dentures on their own. My mom has had the same amazing hygienist, Yana, for more than a year which provides consistency in care (a rarity in this day and age!). Yana always sends an after-visit report and lets me know how my mom is doing. As a nurse practitioner who has worked in skilled nursing and assisted living environments, I have seen firsthand how often dental care is neglected and how important it is for comfort and wellbeing. I highly recommend SOS to anyone seeking excellent and dependable care for their loved one.”
“The professional quality and personal attention of the services offered are outstanding. Not only are the oral cleaning services beneficial for the recipient’s healthcare but they also serve as an important source of comfort and relief for family members from what otherwise would be an ongoing daily concern about their loved one’s oral hygiene and its impact upon their health.”
“I can not say enough about SOS. I have used their oral health care service for my Aunt who lives in an assisted living community. They are very professional and I am always sent a report from their visit. My Aunt looks forward to the appointment. I have piece of mind that she is getting extra help in her oral care. I know how important this is because I am a Dental Hygienist. What an awesome group this is and they give great care to their clients.”
“I would just like to say how much I appreciate the dental care that Katelyn is providing for my husband. She could not be more patient or kind, so in addition to having his teeth so well cared for, he also has a very pleasant visit time. AND, I get a report on how it all went….I like knowing what kind of an afternoon my husband is having, even if it’s not the best. And #1, the service that Senior Oral Health is providing gives me the comfort of knowing that his teeth are well cared for, which should make ‘Look–No Cavities’ a more likely reality….along with the fact that any potential problem should be discovered early on. My experience is that not only does SOH provide great Dental Care, they provide it with lots of Tender Loving Care. That’s one terrific combo, and I am thankful for their care of my husband..”
“This organization is absolutely wonderful. My mother is in that group of forgotten people for dental health – 24/7 nursing care, elderly, non-mobile. I wish I had found them sooner as mom’s dental care was non-existent for several years after her stroke, and they would have been able to preserve more of her teeth. They are compassionate, take great care with mom and always send reports on how the meeting was with her – along with clear pictures, successes and concerns. I cannot say enough good things about this group of angels.”
“Many thanks to SOS, Senior Oral-health Services, for solving a problem affecting my 101 year old mother. She is a resident at Arbor Terrace in Asheville. Maintaining proper and consistent oral health care for my Mom was very difficult prior to March 2018. Her age and dementia made it impossible for her to do this on her own. Fortunately, SOS services became available and wow, what a difference it has made! The professional hygienists work very well with my Mom. At first, she was resistant, but with persistence and relationship building, she is now a willing and happy client. Her teeth are clean and her mouth fresh. The outcome is amazing and the service is fairly priced. I highly recommend SOS to anyone needing similar service.”
“My mother Florence was a patient with SOS for over a year. Mother’s teeth were rotting away and she was passed going to a dentist. SOS would come in and do a cleaning once a week, floss, brush and pack with fluoride. They kept a bad situation with my mom from getting worse. Sabrina was phenomenal with my mom. My only regret was that I didn’t find them and use them as part of my mom’s health plan sooner”.
“Ann, thank you so much. I have no doubt that the care that you, Sabrina, and the rest of the team provided mom added more happy days to her life by keeping her healthy. And she enjoyed the additional benefit of the SOS visits and the laughter and additional companionship that they provide. I was so happy to have found SOS. The service that you provided to mom was indeed a blessing”.
“I highly recommend the SOS dental services. They have been great at taking good care of my sister’s oral health. Dental hygiene is so important and my sister is very happy with the care that she receives”.
“Senior Oral-health Services: thank you so much for treating my sister! Her teeth look so much better than they did before SOS began working with her. SOS was such a good care decision!”
“Thank you for taking such good care of my 93 year old mother in the comfort of her memory care facility. My mother is happy to sit still and have her teeth cared for. The staff is personable, gentle, and knowledgeable. I am impressed with the professional service and bedside manner and would recommend SOS to anyone needing in home care.”
“This service has been very valuable to me, providing essential dental care that I am would have otherwise been unable to provide my love one. Their service is both professional and caring”.
“I’m so grateful for Senior Oral-health Services. The care & kindness they gave my mom for the last months of her life made all the difference in her health & in her happiness. They are such terrific technicians & such an important part of a wellness strategy. Plus, they are just angels- mom was always so happy when it was time for their visit. Thank you, SOS!”
“So thankful to have found these folks. Mom is not able to maintain good dental hygiene on her own and I know the staff at facilities do not help with that. Having someone come weekly to do routine dental care has been a godsend and helped prevent more serious dental issues. The dental techs have been great with Mom! I highly recommend their services. As they say, “An ounce of prevention….”
“Consistently kind and professional with great communication- they have really helped my mom!”
“Excellent service and anyone with a family member in assisted living facility should consider doing this. What a difference!”
“My teeth feel wonderful, and food is tasting better.”
“My teeth feel nice and clean.”
