At Senior Helpers we treat your loved ones like our own—providing compassionate, family-oriented care you can trust. Whether it's daily assistance or specialized support, we're here to help your family feel safe, supported, and at home
Our goal is to provide an environment of safety oversight and assistance as needed, which allows our seniors to continue their independence with daily tasks and activities for as long as they are able.
Our caregivers can keep your loved one engaged by bringing games and activities such as checkers, coloring and word search books, cd player with oldies music, seeds for planting in small pot, nail polish, and beads to make bracelets.
In addition to companionship and activities, our caregivers also assist with meal preparation, light housekeeping, laundry, medicine reminders, exercises and mobility and other household chores. We also provide transportation to doctor appointments, haircuts, food shopping or to go visiting family or a friend.
We offer a free Life Profile Assessment that can gauge if your loved one is at any risk of going to the hospital in the next 6 months due to medication management, falls, and trips out of the home and nutrition. This assessment is based on twenty years of research with the Mayo clinic and Harvard University exclusively for Senior Helpers. We can come to meet you and your family for about 45 minutes to answer any questions you may have. This also helps us choose the most appropriate caregiver that you and your family will be comfortable with.
We also offer a Wellness Monitoring System that we can place in the home, no cameras or audio, just sensors that can be monitored from a mobile phone. This system informs both us and the families if an entry door was opened, the refrigerator door was opened, the temperature in the house, the room that the client is in, sleep patterns and the amount of bathroom visits. This system has helped with identifying a possible urinary tract infection before it got serious. It also helps us to know if someone has wandered or hasn’t moved in several hours detecting a possible fall.
We do not use registries to acquire caregivers; our caregivers are employees of our company, and they are bonded and insured. A thorough criminal background and department of motor vehicle check is completed for each caregiver. ALL OF OUR CAREGIVERS DRIVE and have their own vehicle. All of our caregivers are trained to assist our clients who have Dementia using the Senior Gems program developed exclusively for Senor Helpers by the nationally renowned Teepa Snow. Our caregivers continually participate in continued education regarding the Gems Program.
Our minimum hours of service is twelve hours per week, starting as little as 2 hours per shift. We are non-contractual so service may be discontinued at any time. We do also have our Flex Home Program that starts with as little as 4 hours weekly.
Medicare now covers 75 hours of respite care per year with Senior Helpers! Give us a call, we would be happy to talk about the new Medicare Guide Program.

Senior Helpers provides companionship and assistance around the home for my elderly Mom. We picked the schedule and amount of time that worked best for my Mom. My Mom gets along very well with her Senior Helper, Dolores. They are a great match.

This is the best agency we ever had, and we had a lot of agencies to deal with my mom, who has Dementia. Their staff Roseann and Margaret, are amazing and very helpful, and the aide we have from them is amazing. Amanda is the BEST. Amanda handles my mom better than I do. I highly recommend this agency, but we’re keeping Amanda.

I am extremely pleased with the caregiver who has been sent to take care of my husband. She is very bright, learns quickly, exercises initiative, accepts criticism graciously, and is a please to have around. Even when things are not favorable, she brings such a positive attitude to her work that the atmosphere changes quickly, and we all feel better for her being with us. I believe she is more than a good worker. I consider her to be a gifted individual with great potential. Thank you for sending her to us. Sincerely, Laura Klayman

Senior Helpers has been an amazing organization to work with to set up help for my mom still living in our home. The aids come in a few times a week, help her with her daily skills and take the burden off of the rest of us while keeping my mother safe, secure, happy, and healthy.
David, I am a current client
Senior Helpers is an amazing trustworthy company. They have provided companionship for my elderly mother with care and respect for her needs. In July 2025 due to my schedule I had to request more helpers than usually. Each and every additional staff member of Senior Helpers was as respectful and helpful as our primary helper. I would recommend their services to anyone that is in need of elder care.
Maureen, I am a current client
Barbra and Steven are the best they are more than caregivers they are are our friends.
Suzanne, I am a current client
I can not say enough about how pleased we are with the care from Senior helpers. We engaged them to provide aides for my 87 year old mom. First the office and administration are excellent. They know the clients and care about the level of care and service they provide. They are extremely responsive and are able to flex as needed. In addition, the aides are very good - kind and profession. We have used several agencies and senior helpers is by far the best with regards to overall service and quality of aides.
