Meet the Long Beach Office

Julia has lived in Long Beach for 56 years.  She and her husband raised their two children in Long Beach.  In the past she has been a volunteer for the Friendly Visitors program for Seniors in Long Beach and has also been a Hospice Volunteer.

Julia worked for a non-profit for 38 years.  Their mission was research and education for the elderly and disabled.  As CEO she was directly involved in their Adult Daycare Center for Alzheimer's and Dementia and in developing a Wellness Center specifically designed for the needs of the elderly and disabled.

When her mother suffered a stroke, she became her caregiver. For years she had witnessed the frustration of families looking for help for their loved ones.  She experienced this first hand with her own mother when employing caregivers through agencies. Julia was fortunate to work with the Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center where they specialize in rehab for Spinal Cord Injury, Post Stroke, Brain Injury and Diabetes. She received training and advice from Occupational Therapists, Physical Therapists and a Geriatric Physician, whose specialty was gerontology research and education.  These relationships were invaluable in enabling her to provide the best care for her mom.

Her desire is to provide the best care to her clients and to provide support to the families, comes from her own personal experiences. She is very familiar with working with the different public agencies and feels she can make an important contribution to the well- being of their clients and families.

Jennifer was born and raised in Long Beach, where she attended grade school, middle school and Millikan High school.  She has been a Customer Service Specialist and Supervisor for over 20 years and has one grown son CJ, who goes to Columbia College in Chicago, IL.
 
In the past Jennifer assisted her Mother in caring for her Grandmother and Father. She witnessed the struggle and frustration her mother went through in finding quality care. The last several years, she has shared a home with someone who has developed Dementia and has experienced the struggles of finding quality care.
 
Jennifer feels Quality of Service and Customer Service go hand in hand. Having been in customer service for so long, she has watched the quality of customer service drastically decline over the years (in all industries) and feels that is mostly due to the lack of training. Jennifer’s goal is to provide the training and continued education to her caregivers that will enable them to give the best Quality Care possible. She wants families to rest easy knowing their loved one is being cared for by a Caring and Truly Qualified Caregiver. 

Dailean Chavez serves as the Client Care Manager at Senior Helpers of Long Beach.

She graduated from California State University, Long Beach with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a minor in Gerontology. Her passion for elder care began at a young age while caring for her aunt in a nursing home. Witnessing the lack of compassion and quality care her aunt received inspired Dailean’s lifelong mission: to ensure that every older adult is treated with respect and kindness they deserve.

Early in her career, Dailean discovered the impact that in-home care can have on a person’s quality of life. She believes that helping clients remain in the comfort of their own homes—while supporting their independence—is one of the most meaningful ways to honor and enhance their lives.

Dailean began her journey with Senior Helpers of Long Beach as an intern. During that time, she saw firsthand how deeply the team cared for their clients, always putting well-being and individualized care at the forefront. That experience left a lasting impression and solidified her decision to grow with the company—an organization that shares her values and commitment to compassionate care.

In her current role, Dailean guides clients and their families through each step of the care process—from the initial assessment and personalized care planning to making warm introductions on the first day of service. She remains actively involved through 60-day reassessments, post-hospitalization check-ins, and adjusting care as clients' needs evolve. She works closely with families, caregivers, and healthcare professionals to ensure consistent, coordinated support.

I am an advocate for our clients—committed to making sure they feel heard, valued, and cared for every step of the way.

With a natural ability to connect, along with experience in interviewing, mentoring, and supporting care staff, Leslie has helped build a skilled and compassionate team that serves the seniors of Long Beach with dignity, respect, and heart.
