You can feel confident that your loved one is in good hands with Senior Helpers.

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. For more than 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 Lawrenceville was proud to join the system in 2023. 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.

Our process

The first step in the process is a complimentary, initial in-home care assessment with a Senior Helpers consultant. This assessment can help you understand the true needs of your loved one, and your options. Together we can discuss their needs, our senior care services and determine what’s best for your entire family.

We will cover:

Your family's specific goals

Your loved one's daily plan design and schedule

Pricing and payment methods

Implementation process

Ongoing communication and follow-up plan

A Message from the Owners

My family and I have always tried to help people and when the opportunity to open a business presented itself we looked for a company that could help us do that every day. We are proud to be part of the Senior Helpers family and to be part of our community.

We chose Senior helpers because we wanted to try and help seniors in our community stay in their homes safely and to try and improve the quality of their lives. Our families have faced the same issues some of our seniors face today and we know how much pressure that places on both the senior and their family. I think this has helped us possess a deep understanding of the unique needs and challenges faced by seniors and their loved ones. Our goal is to work tirelessly to reach as many people as we can with our message and the services we offer because we know the difference our company can make. ~Julio and Debbie Vazquez

We are also excited about the opportunity to grow our amazing team of caregivers and employees who have the same passion and desire to help. We know what separates one company from another are the people that work in those companies. Our employees are compassionate and care deeply about helping people. We are committed to providing the highest quality care and create wonderful connections.

We have seen in our family how difficult it can be for sons and daughters to suddenly be cast into the role of caregiver. It can create tremendous stress and put undue pressure on the family. We want to reassure the families that choose us that our goal is to remove the caregiving aspect off their hands and allow them to enjoy time with their loved ones. We appreciate the chance to meet and help so many people and thank you for allowing us to make a difference.
