Senior Helpers Opens Doors in Orland Park!

Senior Helpers®, one of the nation’s premier providers of personalized in-home senior care, today announced the official opening of its Orland Park location, to be managed and operated by Christopher Dexter. The new franchise will serve senior citizens and their families throughout the Cook, Will, and Dupage County areas, which includes Orland Park, Joliet, Homer Glen, Mokena, Lemont, New Lenox and more. It hopes to bring more than 50 new jobs to the region over the next year. Senior Helpers’ professionally trained caregivers will help local seniors continue to enjoy the comfort of their own home despite age-related illnesses and mobility challenges.

“A large reason I was drawn to Senior Helpers was due to the the quality services and specialized caregiver training in Alzheimer’s, Dementia and Parkinson’s disease care it offers that allows me to make a difference in my community and the lives of veterans,” said Dexter. “Throughout my life, I’ve always had a passion for helping others, from my Boy Scout days to my eight years in the military. After seeing the immense amount of stress my father endured while my grandmother lived in assisted living homes, I knew that I wanted to work at a company, like Senior Helpers, that helps alleviate the stress associated with caregiving and ensure a better quality of life for families through personalized in-home senior care.”

Senior Helpers operates with a vision to be the leading home care company in each community it serves. Its caregivers in Orland Park are trained to offer the highest level of care possible based on the company’s Senior Gems® Alzheimer’s and Dementia care program. As the gold standard for excellence in personalized in-home senior care, the program was developed in conjunction with nationally recognized dementia care expert Teepa Snow, Positive Approach, LLC. Local residents will also benefit from the company’s Parkinson’s Care Program, a specialized training program for their caregivers created in conjunction with leading experts from the Parkinson’s Foundation’s Centers of Excellence network.

“We’re absolutely thrilled to welcome Christopher to our team as the newest Senior Helpers franchise owner,” said Peter Ross, Senior Helpers CEO. “Christopher brings a profound passion and understanding for his community and local veterans that will be crucial to his new new role. We know Christopher will be a valuable asset to not only the company but the seniors and families living in Cook County area as well.”
