Meet the Marin County 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 Greater Marin, 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 Marin County 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

Our History

Caroline and Sean became involved with Senior Helpers hoping to make a positive difference in people’s lives. Their grandmother had a significant fall. After her fall, she developed dementia and needed in-home care. Caring for their grandmother and understanding firsthand how these struggles impact families helped them realize that senior home care was a powerful way to give back to their community. By establishing Senior Helpers of Greater Marin, their goal is to ease other families’ struggles.

Caroline and Sean's mission is to ensure a better quality of life for their clients by providing insightful, dependable, and affordable care. Some of their services include helping around and outside the home to help with everyday aging-related needs and identifying ways to improve the lives of those with dementia, Alzheimer’s, or Parkinson’s disease.

Caroline and Sean have been together most of their lives, have three wonderful children, and enjoy spending time with their parents and extended family. They’re committed to helping families, and their loved ones maintain their independence at home and sustain a high quality of life. 

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
  • Your loved one's daily plan design and schedule
  • Pricing and payment methods
  • Implementation process
  • Ongoing communication and follow-up plan
