Meet the Northeast Broward County office

Our History

Senior Helpers was founded in 2002 by Tony Bonacuse with the help of Peter Ross after their firsthand experience in caring for their respective family members. Tony and Peter identified a need that was not being filled properly by the other companies.  They realized that most seniors would prefer to age in their own home rather than move into an unfamiliar institution.  Unfortunately, the options available to most seniors were very limited.  Most seniors did not have access to well-trained, dependable and accessible in-home care. This was the mission-driven spark that started Senior Helpers. 

The first office opened in Baltimore, Maryland, and quickly developed a reputation for delivering excellent in-home senior care with their well-trained staff of professional caregivers. Based on the success of the Baltimore location, the company began to expand.  Over the past 20 years, the Senior Helpers family has grown to include a network of more than 300 locally owned and operated franchises across the United States. 

Senior Helpers of Northeast Broward County was proud to join the system in 2024.  Like every other owner, we too are fully-committed to the original goal of providing dependable and accessible in-home care with well-trained caregivers. Nothing is more important to us than being the best available resource for seniors and families in our community.  We are lucky to serve hundreds of seniors in our community, and we are committed to continuing to provide uncompromising levels of care to all our families.

Juan Mejia and Paola Correa established Senior Helpers of Northeast Broward County based on their profound connection with older adults. Their empathy for seniors and strong desire to improve their quality of life have always driven them. This commitment deepened significantly after a decade of caring for their parents and Paola's grandparents, who battled Alzheimer's disease. This firsthand experience underscored the importance of delivering the right care in the comfort of one's home.

For Juan and Paola, Senior Helpers is more than a business—it's a personal calling. It allows them to make a meaningful difference in the lives of seniors in their community, aligning with their deepest values and reinforcing their dedication to compassionate senior care.

What excites them most about their Senior Helpers business is the opportunity to bring purpose and meaning to seniors' lives. By providing compassionate, personalized care at home, they empower seniors to maintain independence and dignity while giving their loved ones peace of mind.

Juan and Paola are married and are also business partners. Together, they decided to make this dream a reality and dedicate themselves to making a positive impact on the lives of seniors. They have a dog named Mambo, who is part of their family and will be in charge of ensuring that their clients' pets are also cared for with love because pets are an essential part of their owners' lives!

As a family, they enjoy spending time with loved ones and friends, soaking up the sun at the beach, cooking, engaging in sports, and exploring new places.
