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. 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 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.

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, review 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

Meet the Fairfield staff

Jamie Farina

Owner

Thank you for visiting our website and allowing me to introduce myself. My name is Jamie Farina, the owner of Senior Helpers in Fairfield, New Jersey. I am a graduate of Kutztown University in Pennsylvania with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Psychology. I went on to earn a Master’s Degree in Social Work (MSW) from Rutgers University in New Jersey.


I was employed by St. Mary’s General Hospital in Passaic for 20 plus years in the Behavioral Health Department. I was the Coordinator of a residential program and I had the pleasure of working with a very special group of individuals. When the opportunity arose to become a part of Senior Helpers, I decided it was time to embark upon a new venture where I would still be involved providing professional service to those in need of a helping hand.


What free time I have, I devote to my daughter, Jasmine. I am proud of the progress she is making in school and that she participates in after school activities.
I would be honored if you allowed us to care for your loved ones who may be in need of our service. I would be happy to speak with you should you have any questions. Thank you again for visiting Senior Helpers, Fairfield, New Jersey.

Kiyana Thompson

Office Assistant

I studied and obtained a BFA in dance at Rutgers University. While not at work in the office, I teach dance to children ages 3-13 years old. In my teachings I hope that my students will develop the same love for dance that I have. In my time off, I also enjoy travelling and eating out at restaurants.


Extremely helpful and flexible."
