Meet the Baltimore 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 Baltimore we believe getting the best care for your loved ones should not be complicated. Tony and Peter opened the Senior Helpers Baltimore office in 2002 because of their passion for helping others and their interest in the growing need for in-home care services.  They are committed to delivering the best possible in-home care to seniors in the Baltimore community.

We take in-home care seriously and make it a priority to provide the highest level of client service possible. Over the past years 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 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 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 22 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, we too 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.  

We have been lucky to serve hundreds of seniors in our community over the years, 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

Steven Henson

Recruiting Manager

As the Recruiting Manager for our Baltimore office, it is my mission to connect quality care professionals with quality clients. I started my professional career in exterior home-remodeling sales for 3 years until being drawn to the world of recruiting and talent acquisition by the opportunity to help jobseekers and businesses amidst the massive COVID related lay-offs in 2020 and on. I am a Salisbury University Alumni with a bachelor’s degree focused in Business Economics and Marketing from the Franklin P. Perdue School of Business, and in my free time I enjoy golfing and watching the Ravens (while occasionally yelling at my TV).

She graduated from the University of Maryland Eastern Shore with a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice. Prior to joining Senior Helpers, she worked over 8 years as a correctional office before departing to give all her love and attention to being a stay-at-home-mom taking care of her daughter.
