Dr. Jack Yeung

Dr. Jack Yeung

Owner

Dr. Jack Yeung received his Doctorate in Pharmacy from St. John’s University in May of 2005. Immediately following graduation, he became a Registered Pharmacist and relocated to Connecticut. During his first five years in Connecticut, he served as a staff pharmacist for A large pharmacy chain, spending time in multiple stores located in both the Fairfield and New Haven counties.

In 2010, feeling he had done all he could to service his patients in the big business bureaucracy and big corporate culture, he decided to venture out and open his own pharmacy. Jack worked tirelessly during this time period and co-founded Main Street Pharmacy located in Danbury, CT. To this day, Main Street Pharmacy continues to provide valuable services to the greater Danbury area including free prescription pick-up & delivery, immunizations, consultation, and medication therapy management services.

Dr. Jack has devoted much of his pharmacy career focused on building a healthier community one patient at a time. After devoting himself to the retail pharmacy for many years, he built incredible relationships with doctors, nurses and home health aids. Being in the front line of the healthcare industry, He recognized the immense value home campanions provide patients on a daily basis.

Study shows that patients are healthier, more independent and happier when they stay at home. Dr. Yeung wants to expand his role by providing our seniors the care they deserve. When not preoccupied with his business ventures, he loves to spend time with his wife Dr. Jenah Yeung and their four children Jax, Alysa, Charlotte and Kenzo.


Senior Helpers provided excellent live-in home care for my aunt. I appreciated the kind, compassionate and reliable caregivers provided by this agency. They consistently did their job very well. The owner and president of Senior Helpers in Fairfield, Katie Vanovitch, supervised the caregivers. She made periodic visits to my aunt’s home to verify that the live-in situation was going well for both caregivers and client. The help provided by Senior Helpers, a most professional and caring agency, allowed my aunt to stay in her home in a safe and caring environment which was reassuring to me. I highly recommend Senior Helpers for home care services.

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 19 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 Fairfield 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.

Owner Dr. Jack Yeung was drawn to Senior Helpers because of our signature programs, which go above and beyond to provide a higher level of care for our clients.

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.
