Meet Mark Friedman – Better Care Starts with Local Leadership
At the heart of Senior Helpers is owner Mark Friedman, a Newton resident and a respected voice in senior care. Mark’s journey into elder care began close to home — first as the founding president of his synagogue in Swampscott, where he saw older congregants struggle to get the help they needed, and later as a family caregiver himself. His personal experiences shaped the agency’s philosophy, “If it is not the right answer for my parents, it is not the right answer for anyone else’s parents either.”
Mark holds an MSIA (MBA) from Carnegie Mellon and is a certified dementia practitioner, educator and advocate for higher standards in home care. Under his leadership, Senior Helpers has introduced proprietary tools like the LIFE Profile™, hired only Certified Nursing Assistants and Home Health Aides as caregivers and implemented a nurse-led approach that sets a new bar for home care in Massachusetts – even in the absence of statewide regulation.
Nurse-Led Senior Support Services Designed Around Real Life
At Senior Helpers, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all services. Every care plan begins with a conversation and a nurse-led evaluation. We look at your loved one’s lifestyle, risks, goals and support system to create a plan that’s thoughtful, effective and flexible. We welcome family involvement and prioritize clear, ongoing communication as well as economic respect.
In a community as engaged as Newton, our team makes it easy for seniors to remain connected to their routines, their support group and the place they call home.
