Going the Extra Mile For Our Senior’s Citizen Maria…
Journey with Caregiver Nigeria Services
At Caregiver Nigeria Services, we don’t just provide care — we provide presence, empathy, and peace of mind. Our recent experience with a senior citizen visit to Lagos speaks volumes of what we stand for.
Her family reached out to us with a clear request: help their elderly mother through her visa appointment process in Lagos. We received her health profile, understood her needs, and immediately sourced a calm, senior-friendly hotel close to the visa center.
Enter Marvelous, one of our dedicated Care Concierges. For Marvelous, this wasn’t just a task on a list; it was a sacred trust. From the moment she met “Mama” Maria at the bustling bus terminal, the mission became clear. Seeing Mama shivering slightly from the journey’s chill, Marvelous’s first act wasn’t one of logistics, but of humanity. She offered her own cardigan, a simple gesture that said, “I am here for you. Your comfort is my priority.
Over the next 48 hours, what could have been a stressful ordeal transformed into a masterclass in compassionate care. When the original plan was upended by a last-minute change in drop-off locations, our system didn’t break; it adapted. When the pressure of the appointment and the unfamiliar city briefly overwhelmed Mama Maria, leading to a moment of human fragility and frustration, Marvelous didn’t see a difficult client; she saw a mother in need of reassurance. With a calm voice and a steady presence, she absorbed the anxiety, transforming tears of frustration into laughter and renewed confidence. This wasn’t just customer service; it was about preserving dignity.
Her arrival day came with heavy rain. But our caregiver was ready. She met her at the bus station with open arms and even gave her a sweater to keep warm. She made sure our client settled in well, took her medication on time, and had all she needed.
The next day was the highlight. Despite the caregiver returning home late due to Lagos traffic, she showed up early the next morning, accompanied the senior to her appointment, and managed document challenges with the help of our central team and the client’s family.
Once the visa appointment was over, our caregiver escorted her back to the hotel, ensured she packed safely, and accompanied her to the bus station. We stayed in touch until her safe arrival was confirmed by her family.
This is the standard of care we hold ourselves to — not just services, but sincere human support.
