Meet the Moanalua-Honolulu 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 Honolulu 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 Honolulu 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

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 accessible in-home care. This was the mission-driven spark that started Senior Helpers. 

The first office opened in Baltimore, Maryland, 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 Honolulu was proud to join the system in 2021.  Like every other owner, we too are fully-committed to the original goal of providing dependable and accessible 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 are lucky to serve hundreds of seniors in our community, and we are committed to continuing to provide uncompromising levels of care to all our families.

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

Jenny Cambra

Jenny Cambra

Director of Operations/ Owner

Jenny was born and raised in Beijing, China and moved to Oahu, Hawaii in 2016. After over 10 years of experience working in the Hospitality industry, Jenny was compelled to become a female entrepreneur.

Jenny wanted to open a business that would improve the quality of life of those around her. She was drawn to Senior Helpers because she noticed the lack of resources available to seniors as they age. At a young age, Jenny witnessed the pain and struggle her family went through when having to transfer her grandparents with dementia to an out of home facility. Opening Senior Helpers of Moanalua-Honolulu allows seniors to age comfortably in their own home and provides support and resources to families with aging loved ones, something Jenny wishes her family had back then.

Jenny’s compassion, empathy and vulnerability drive her to work hard everyday and put the seniors of Moanalua- Honolulu area first. When Jenny is not serving the seniors in her community, she loves hiking with her husband, Chad and her dog, Miso, cooking, and volunteering.

I want to take this opportunity to express our thanks for the superb work Diane did for Dad while he was in the hospital. She was punctual, personable, and dedicated.

Thank you so much for giving us Diane. She really is a remarkable person and very caring.
