Meet the Fairfield Office

More than 90% of seniors want to age in their own home with dignity but getting the right type of care can seem daunting. At Senior Helpers Fairfield we believe getting the best care for your loved ones should not be complicated. We are committed to delivering the best possible in-home care to seniors in the Fairfield community.

We take in-home care very seriously and make it a priority to provide the highest level of client service possible. Over the past 12 years 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.

Our History

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

The first office opened in Baltimore 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. For more than 20 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 Fairfield was proud to join the system in 2007. Like every other owner, we too are fully-committed to the original goal of providing dependable and affordable 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.

Our team has grown to 3 team members and 30+ caregivers. 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 care to all our families.

Owner

I am the proud owner of Senior Helpers in Totowa, New Jersey, where I have been dedicated to helping seniors remain safe, comfortable, and independent in their homes since 2016. I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from Kutztown University and my Master’s Degree in Social Work from Rutgers University.

Prior to joining Senior Helpers, I spent over 20 years working in behavioral health at St. Mary’s General Hospital in Passaic, New Jersey. My extensive background in social work has shaped my compassionate and personalized approach to senior care. I take great pride in building strong relationships with our clients, families, and caregivers while maintaining the highest standards of quality care.

As a lifelong Northern New Jersey resident and devoted mother, I understand the importance of family and the peace of mind that comes with knowing your loved ones are receiving dependable, compassionate care. My goal is to ensure that every client is treated with the dignity, respect, and kindness they deserve.

Caring for others has always been a passion of mine, and I find great fulfillment in making a positive difference in people's lives. With over 10 years of experience in caregiving, customer service, and technical support, I have learned that even the smallest acts of kindness and support can have a meaningful impact.

For the past seven years, I have proudly been part of the Senior Helpers team in an administrative role, supporting our caregivers, clients, and the families we serve. I take pride in building strong relationships and helping ensure that each client receives the compassionate, dependable care they deserve.

I am fluent in both English and Spanish, which allows me to connect with individuals from diverse backgrounds and communicate effectively with the families we serve. I also hold a Bachelor's Degree in Accounting and value the importance of continued learning and professional growth.

Outside of work, I am a proud mother of two daughters who are my greatest source of inspiration. I enjoy spending time with my family, writing, reading, and singing. Whether at work or in my personal life, I believe in treating everyone with kindness, dignity, and respect.

Extremely helpful and flexible."
