Dr. Jack Yeung received his Doctorate in Pharmacy from St. John’s University in May of 2005. Immediately following graduation, he became a Registered Pharmacist and relocated to Connecticut. During his first five years in Connecticut, he served as a staff pharmacist for A large pharmacy chain, spending time in multiple stores located in both the Fairfield and New Haven counties.

Jack worked tirelessly during this time period and co-founded Main Street Pharmacy located in Danbury, CT. To this day, Main Street Pharmacy continues to provide valuable services to the greater Danbury area including free prescription pick-up & delivery, immunizations, consultation, and medication therapy management services.

Dr. Jack has devoted much of his pharmacy career focused on building a healthier community one patient at a time. After devoting himself to the retail pharmacy for many years, he built incredible relationships with doctors, nurses and home health aids. Being in the front line of the healthcare industry, He recognized the immense value home campanions provide patients on a daily basis.

When not preoccupied with his business ventures, he loves to spend time with his wife Dr. Jenah Yeung and their four children Jax, Alysa, Charlotte and Kenzo.

Cedric Troncoso

Cedric Troncoso

Director of Nursing

Cedric Troncoso, RN, BSN, serves as Director of Nursing at Senior Helpers, bringing nearly three decades of clinical and leadership experience across acute care, quality management, and geriatric services to the home care field.

Cedric began his nursing career in 1998, first serving on an ambulance crew in the Philippines before moving into bedside nursing across the ER, PACU, SICU, and Medical ICU. After relocating to the United States in 2003, he worked with developmentally disabled and psychiatric populations, then moved to Chicago to practice in the cardiac telemetry unit at the University of Chicago.

In New York, Cedric transitioned into wound care nursing within a skilled nursing facility before joining IPRO, a Quality Improvement Organization contracted by the Department of Health. There, he worked in the Medicaid department auditing hospitals and advanced to Senior Peer Review Analyst.

Having moved across countries, clinical specialties, and roles throughout his career, Cedric has developed a natural flexibility and an ability to assimilate quickly to change — qualities that, paired with his resourcefulness and quick learning, shape how he leads today. He puts this wide range of experience to work equipping and supporting the caregivers at Senior Helpers, coaching them to recognize changes in condition early and respond with confidence. He brings that same hands-on knowledge to every care plan, helping ensure clients, seniors, and veterans receive safe, dignified, and well-coordinated care that allows them to remain independent for as long as possible.

Senior Helpers provided excellent live-in home assistance for my aunt. I appreciated the kind, compassionate and reliable caregivers provided by this agency. They consistently did their job very well. The owner and president of Senior Helpers in Fairfield, supervised the caregivers. She made periodic visits to my aunt’s home to verify that the live-in situation was going well for everyone involced. The help provided by Senior Helpers, a most professional and caring agency, allowed my aunt to stay in her home in a safe and caring environment which was reassuring to me. I highly recommend Senior Helpers for non-medical in-home services.

Our History

Senior Helpers was founded in 2002 by Tony Bonacuse with the help of Peter Ross after their firsthand experience in supporting 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 assistance. This was the mission-driven spark that started Senior Helpers.

The first office opened in Baltimore, and quickly developed a reputation for delivering excellent senior support with their well-trained staff of professional caregivers. Based on the success of the Baltimore location, the company began to expand. Over the past 19 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 Fairfield was proud to join the system in 2017. Like every other owner, we too are fully-committed to the original goal of providing dependable and affordable in-home non-medical support with well-trained caregivers. Nothing is more important to us than being the best available resource for seniors and families in our community.

Owner, Dr. Jack Yeung was drawn to Senior Helpers because of our signature programs, which go above and beyond to provide a higher level of assistance for our clients.

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 support to all our families.

Celebrating Two Incredible Women

Celebrating Two Incredible Women

In this picture, you’ll see two truly amazing individuals—our wonderful client, Anna, and her incredible caregiver, Mikki.

Anna is one of the sweetest, most compassionate people I’ve ever met. Every time I stop by—whether it’s just to say hi, drop off some soup, or recently, some Valentine’s hearts—I’m reminded of how grateful she is for the life she’s lived. Her stories are mesmerizing, and I always walk away feeling uplifted.

Mikki, on the other hand, has a heart of gold. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing her for just over a year, and her growth within the home care industry has been inspiring. She’s faced her fair share of struggles but has overcome them with resilience and determination. Seeing her transformation has been nothing short of amazing.

Having both of these women in my life reminds me why I do what I do. Home care isn’t just about providing a service—it’s about building relationships, making connections, and finding the right match between caregivers and clients. And I have to say, Anna and Mikki are two peas in a pod!

On this Valentine’s Day, I was reminded once again that the choices we make as a team truly impact lives. Moments like these make it all worth it. ️
