Meet the Warrenton and Culpeper 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 Warrenton and Culpeper 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 Warrenton 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 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 Warrenton and Culpeper 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

Ruth and Dare Lawal

Ruth and Dare Lawal

Owners

In 2016, Ruth and Dare Lawal relocated to Virginia and quickly fell in love with the area. They were impressed by the welcoming community and the numerous opportunities near the nation's capital. Virginia became their new home, a place where they could raise their two amazing boys, ages 4 and 7.

Passionate about helping others, especially seniors, Ruth noticed a growing need for quality senior care services in their community. Drawing on her experience in home care and thorough research, she decided to open a Senior Helpers location. This decision was driven by the comprehensive support and personalized care that Senior Helpers provides, aligning perfectly with her values and goals.

Both Ruth and Dare are thrilled to make a meaningful impact in their community. They leverage tools like Senior Gems and LIFE Profile to assist seniors in aging gracefully. They understand the importance of not only meeting the basic needs of seniors but also ensuring their overall well-being and quality of life. They believe in providing seniors with access to quality home care, nutritious meals, social activities, and emotional support, helping them live their lives to the fullest.

As proud parents, the Lawals enjoy spending time with their boys and going out shopping. They are also dedicated to giving back to their community by supporting the Goodwill organization. Their commitment to senior care is inspired by their own experiences with aging parents, reinforcing the importance of high-quality and dependable care for seniors.


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.
