Meet the North Central Indiana office

More than 90% of seniors want to age in their own home with dignity but getting the right type of care can seem daunting. At Senior Helpers North Central Indiana we believe that getting the best care for your loved ones should not be complicated. Dave Foreman opened the Senior Helpers Wabash office because of his passion for helping others and their interest in the growing need for in-home care services. He is committed to delivering the best possible in-home care to seniors in the Wabash community. 

We take the opportunity to provide in-home care 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.

Our History

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 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 affordable in-home care. This was the mission-driven spark that started Senior Helpers. 

The first office opened in Baltimore, 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. 

Like every other owner, Senior Helpers North Central Indiana staff are fully-committed to the original goal of providing dependable and affordable 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.  

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

David Foreman

David Foreman

Owner/Director

I decided to purchase Senior Helpers because my values were the same as the company’s philosophy. These include having integrity without compromise. And delivering comfort and care at a moment’s notice, while being able to help the elderly stay in their own homes. Since then, our territories have continued to grow and develop.

I do initial assessments and work hand in hand with Veterans to help assist them with applying for their Aid and Attendance benefit. This is a much needed service that many veterans and their spouses don’t know they qualify for. I also work hand in hand with the clients and their families to develop the proper care plan for each client and handle all schedule changes.
