Senior Helper Opens In Fairfield

#Fairfield CT-- Tuesday Senior Helpers located at 1700 Post Road in Fairfield held their ribbon cutting at their offices.  Owner Katie Vanovitch said Senior Helpers mission is to allow senior citizens to maintain their independence for as long as possible within their home.  They also provide the family caregiver the relief they need so they can continue with their daily lives.   This was the first ribbon cutting I brought my wife to because she is the primary caregiver to her 88-year-old mother and 94-year-old father and it was an opportunity for her to get some new resources in tending to their needs.   You can reach Katie at Senior Helpers at 203-659-0402 or online at https://www.seniorhelpers.com/fairfieldupper-ct/
