Meet the Arlington/Alexandria 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 of Arlington/Alexandria we believe getting the best care for your loved ones should not be complicated. The Senior Helpers of Arlington/Alexandria office opened in 2018 with a commitment to helping seniors age in place in place safely. Owners, Mustafa and Humaira are committed to delivering the best possible in-home care to seniors in the Arlington/Alexandria and Mt. Vernon communities. 

We take in-home care very seriously and make it a priority to provide the highest level of client service possible. Since our opening, we have built an exceptional team of care professionals. Each is 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.  They 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 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 Arlington/Alexandria was proud to join the system in 2018. Like every other owner, we are fully-committed to 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 their families in our community.  

Mustafa and Humaira Arzomand, owners of Senior Helpers Arlington/Alexandria, were drawn to this company because of its focus on providing each and every caregiver the tools and knowledge to succeed when working with a senior. In our office caregivers are able to learn and share with each other, further complementing formal training.

We have been lucky to serve 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
