Meet the Milwaukee 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 Milwaukee we believe  getting the best care for your loved ones should not be complicated.  We are committed to delivering the best possible in-home care to seniors in the Milwaukee community.

We take in-home care very 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 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 Milwaukee was proud to join the system.  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.

Christine Soderberg, LPN

Director of Client Services

Christine started her career with a bachelor’s degree in a non-healthcare field and later went back to school for nursing because she was drawn to help others.  She chose to work in many types of nursing over the last 15 years because she believes in expanding her knowledge to better help those that we serve.  Christine has experience in skilled care, rehab, hospice, assisted living but has found her passion with home care and strives to keep seniors living in their homes longer and making sure quality care is being given.  Many times, you will hear her say that the favorite part of her job is meeting and getting to know our seniors and still feels laughter is the best medicine.  Outside of work, Christine spends time with her 5 children and their activities.  She also enjoys being outside, taking walks, sitting with friends talking around a fire pit, going on day trips or camping when time allows.

Rebecca Parsons

Recruiter

Rebecca was a stay-at-home mother for many years who also helped take care of aging family members. She is a natural caregiver with a love for others. Once her children were a little older, she decided to get into private home care, taking care of clients in need. While helping her clients, she learned the struggle for them to find caring and reliable caregivers. When she heard Senior Helpers was looking for a recruiter, she immediately felt this was the place she could help make a difference. Many of our current clients even know her just by her kind and friendly voice on the phone. Outside of work, Rebecca spends time with her children and boyfriend.  She also enjoys summers on the pontoon boat, sitting with friends around a fire and taking care of her many fur babies.
