When Cassia, Maureen, and I started Senior Helpers East San Diego, we were committed above all else to growth.  We knew that with our experience in healthcare and marketing, that we could make a difference in our Senior community.  So much so that our unofficial motto was Always Commit to Yes.  Looking back over the past year, I believe that this helped grow our business and reputation throughout the community.  Clients know that we offer a superior service and even if our home care agency isn’t what they need, they understand that we will act as their fiduciary to point them in the right direction.
