Meet the West Oahu office

More than 90% of seniors want to be able to age in their own home with dignity but getting the right type of care can seem daunting.  At Senior Helpers of West Oahu we believe that getting the best care for your loved ones should not be complicated.  We recognize the growing need for in-home care services, and with our passion for helping others, we are committed to delivering the best possible care to seniors in the Kapolei community. 

We take the opportunity to provide care in your home seriously and make it a priority to provide the highest level of client service possible.  We have built an exceptional team of care professionals, each committed to remaining at the forefront of the in-home care industry through our proprietary ongoing training and education programs. 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.  Over the past 13 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 West Oahu 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.

Our process

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

Meet the West Oahu Team

Nate Dixon

Owner

Nathaniel “Nate” Dixon is a proud U.S. Air Force veteran with 22 years of distinguished service as an air traffic controller, holding key positions at various locations across the globe. Following his military retirement, Nate continued his dedication to his country, working for an additional 21 years as a civilian employee with the Department of Defense. For over 30 years, he has been an active member of Prince Hall Masonry, dedicating countless hours to serving his community and providing support to those in need.

Nate’s deep-rooted passion for helping others was inspired by his grandmother, who raised him and his brother from an early age. Watching her navigate the challenges of aging sparked his desire to make a meaningful difference in the lives of seniors. Nate is especially committed to ensuring that veterans receive the dignity, respect, and honor they deserve. His lifelong commitment to service, both in uniform and in his community, reflects his passion for uplifting those in need and improving the quality of life for the less fortunate.

Beverly Chapman

Owner

Beverly brings a deeply personal connection and heartfelt passion to senior care. After caring for her mother through breast, lung, and brain cancer alongside her brother, Beverly experienced firsthand the immense challenges families face when caring for a loved one. Though her mother had the financial means to hire a caregiver, Beverly and her brother took on the responsibility themselves, driven by a desire to be there for their mother in her final days. However, the emotional and physical toll became evident when her brother lost his job due to frequent absences, and Beverly realized she was unable to provide the level of care her mother needed. This experience gave her profound insight into the difficult decisions families must make when selecting care for their loved ones. It also fueled her desire to support other families facing similar circumstances.

Today, Beverly is thrilled to offer caregiver assistance to families, helping them create cherished moments with their aging loved ones. She believes the memories we gain from listening to the wisdom and stories of older generations are irreplaceable treasures, and Senior Helpers of West Oahu plays a vital role in ensuring families can focus on those moments without worrying about daily caregiving tasks.

Beverly’s dedication to serving others extends beyond senior care. As the Executive Director of a non-profit organization, she oversees programs that provide after-school mentoring for children and distribute over 400 hot meals daily to Hawaii's youth. With a deep passion for mentoring young people, Beverly believes in the importance of instilling empathy and compassion in future generations, knowing they will one day become caregivers for seniors.

With a background spanning over two decades as the owner of four preschools, Beverly founded the "Rocking Grannies" initiative, where older adults would comfort infants by rocking them to sleep. Her lifelong commitment to nurturing both children and seniors is a testament to her belief in the power of community and care across generations. Beverly is also a proud mother of two, with her first grandchild on the way, and in her spare time, she enjoys traveling and spending time with her family.


I want to take this opportunity to express our thanks for the superb work Diane did for Dad while he was in the hospital. She was punctual, personable, and dedicated. She helped my Dad immensely during a difficult time for him. Her calm manner and brilliant smile worked magic. My Dad’s attitude changed completely for the better after her first visit. Thank you so much for giving us Diane. She really is a remarkable person and very caring.
