Meet Our Home Care Team in Central Houston, Pearland, Kingwood, and The Woodlands

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 of Central Houston was proud to join the system in 2017.  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.  

Stuart and Chelsea were drawn to Senior Helpers because of their own experience of caring for senior members of their own families.

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.

We provide a range of services, including companion care, sitter services, light housekeeping, meal planning and preparation, medication reminders, transition assistance, respite care, and assistance with bathing, grooming, toileting and ambulation. Senior Helpers is a leader in the in-home care industry when it comes to Alzheimer’s and dementia care with the program Senior Gems®, developed with nationally renowned dementia expert Teepa Snow. We have also collaborated with staff at Johns Hopkins Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders Center to design a program that offers strategies and techniques for managing 

All of our caregivers are Senior Helpers employees and undergo rigorous screening, background checks, drug tests and training before they come into your loved one’s home. We treat them like our family, so they can become an extension of yours. Our goal is to enrich the lives of each client, and to exceed all expectations for care. We hope you will consider contacting us to learn more about our services. We believe we can make a positive difference in your life!

Some key commitments we make, include:

We never send a stranger. In our experience, one of the most difficult aspects of being the client of a home care agency was having caregivers show up at our door without being properly introduced or prepared, or in the case of having a substitute, not getting any advance notification of a change – then dealing with substitutes who were poorly prepared to provide appropriate care for your loved one’s needs. With Senior Helpers, this will not happen. A proper introduction will be made. Caregivers are supervised employees, not independent contractors. We are not a referral service or “nurse registry,” where workers are assigned to cases, leaving families to sort through the fine points themselves – whether taxes get paid, whether background checks have been performed, whether they’re bonded and insured. We do all these things in advance, along with testing skills, verifying credentials, speaking with families they’ve worked with before. 

Another way we communicate to prospective clients that we are the best choice for in-home care in the Houston area is by arranging for Listen360, an independent research company, to survey our clients- any client they wish, any time they wish.

Meet Our Owners Stuart and Chelsea Wilson

Senior Helpers of Central Houston has served local seniors and their families since 2017. For owners Stuart and Chelsea Wilson, that work is deeply personal. Today, their commitment extends to families in Kingwood and The Woodlands. Their paths to senior care began in different places, but led to a shared purpose: helping older adults live with dignity and giving families dependable support from people they trust.

Stuart’s experience caring for his elderly grandparents showed him how deeply the need for care affects an entire family. He understood the responsibility of looking after someone you love and the importance of respecting their independence along the way. After completing his business studies, helping other seniors felt like a natural next step. Senior Helpers brought together his education, personal experience, and desire to do meaningful work in his community.

Chelsea spent more than a decade in emergency medicine, supporting people during some of their most vulnerable moments. While the work was rewarding, she often wanted to give more than the healthcare setting allowed. She wanted time to listen, get to know people, and help with the challenges they faced after returning home. Senior Helpers gave her the opportunity to build lasting relationships and provide the continuing, personal support she had always wanted to offer.

As owners, Stuart and Chelsea bring those experiences to the way they lead their team. They believe good care begins with understanding the person receiving it: their routines, preferences, relationships, and what makes them feel comfortable at home. Just as essential is listening to families and following through on the trust they place in the team.

Their commitment to families is simple: to be approachable, attentive, and dependable, helping clients feel respected and helping their loved ones feel supported throughout the care journey.

Our Scheduling Team

Dependable in-home care takes careful coordination. Our scheduling team plans caregiver visits around each client’s care needs, routines, and preferences, helping clients and families know what to expect.

When a caregiver becomes ill or an unexpected change occurs, our schedulers move quickly to find a qualified replacement whose skills fit the client’s needs. They coordinate the details, communicate changes, and work to minimize interruptions in care.

Our team understands that a visit can be essential to a client’s day and a family’s peace of mind. That understanding guides how they respond when plans change, with urgency, attention, and respect for the people counting on us.

Our Community Outreach Team

When someone you love needs help, knowing where to start can feel overwhelming. Our community outreach team helps families in Central Houston, Pearland, Kingwood, and The Woodlands understand their home care options and take the next step with greater confidence.

They start by listening. What has changed? What feels difficult at home? What matters most to your loved one? Through these conversations and LIFE Profile safety and risk assessments, they help identify concerns and support needs that inform a personalized approach to care.

Whether you are planning ahead or responding to an unexpected situation, our outreach team explains options clearly, answers questions, and helps you understand how in-home support could fit into your family’s life.

Our Caregivers

Our caregivers bring personal attention to the everyday moments that matter. Through companionship, assistance with daily routines, and personal care, they help older adults feel comfortable, respected, and supported in their own homes.

Our caregivers undergo background checks and drug screening, and we match their skills to each client’s care needs. We also consider the routines, preferences, and personalities that help a caregiving relationship feel comfortable.

Getting to know someone takes patience and attention. Our caregivers learn the small details that make a difference, from how a client likes to start the morning to the activities and conversations they enjoy. Their work helps clients maintain independence while giving families reassurance that someone is there to help.

Our Client Services Managers

A good caregiver match involves both the right skills and a comfortable personal connection. Our Client Services Managers get to know each client’s needs, personality, routines, and preferences, then work with our team to find a compatible caregiver.

Their involvement continues as care moves forward. They listen to feedback, address concerns, and help coordinate adjustments when a client’s needs or circumstances change. Client comfort and satisfaction remain central to those conversations.

For families, our Client Services Managers provide a familiar point of contact. Whether you have a question about care, want to share feedback, or feel a different caregiver match would be helpful, they work with you to find a thoughtful response.
