Senior Helpers is an organization that has been around for a little over a decade. It recently opened up a new training facility in Milwaukee near Howard and 27th Street.

Cindy Manzara is Senior Helpers' director of care. Her job is to teach and work side-by-side with caregivers and those in training while at the facility. They work together by going through transfer movements, like getting someone up and out of bed and ready for the day.

“We do absolutely thorough training with our caregivers to make sure they recognize safety risks in the apartment,” Manzara said.
