Meet the Midlothian-Chesterfield County Office

Paul has an undergraduate degree in Finance from Virginia Tech and has spent his entire career in sales and sales management, with his last 17 being in the medical field in Richmond, VA.  Consequently, he has extensive relationships with many physicians that refer their patients to Senior Helpers.  They know that Paul understands the challenges that face the aging senior, the demands facing the supporting family, and the struggles of being in the “Sandwich” generation.  The sandwich generation is comprised of middle-aged parents that are still raising children, but now are also taking care of their aging parents and are therefore “sandwiched” in between two generations that need their help.  This was Paul and his wife Susie’s life.  They have 3 boys and were primary caregivers to her mother for two years in their home until her dementia and other health conditions reached a point that she needed the care of a facility. They can relate to the struggles that many of their clients and client families are going through and can provide solutions and support.

Senior Helpers’ strength is its ability to provide clients with honest and realistic expectations of how this service industry works.  They take pride in not only how they communicate with their clients, but also with how they work with their caregivers.  Too often in this industry, caregivers are placed on a shift instead of matched with a client.  Senior Helpers places the right clinical skills and the right personality with a client to ensure the best compatibility and long-term satisfaction with their care.  Their clients appreciate the extra steps they take to provide the best care possible.  Senior Helpers has set the highest standards for hiring, training, and management of their care team.  They provide a healthy and fun work environment, helping caregivers develop a positive and meaningful career.

In Paul’s spare time, he and Susie can be found coaching, supporting, spectating, chauffeuring, and raising their three boys.  As a family they enjoy watersports at Lake Gaston and vacationing in the Outer Banks.

Sherry Horne started out in the medical field helping one of her aunts in 2002 until she passed away in 2009.  This inspired her to become a caregiver and she got her Personal Care Aide certificate in 2014.  Sherry started with Senior Helpers in the beginning of 2020 as part of our care team.  Based on her hard work ethic and attention to detail she was promoted to Care Team Manager in April of 2020.  Prior to joining Senior Helpers, Sherry had worked with other home care agencies, assisted living facilities, and memory care centers.  She has a lot of experience with Alzheimers, Dementia, and Parkinson’s patients and is excellent with communicating with our care team about the needs of the clients.  Sherry is a true team player and has even filled in on shifts for caregivers when they have a personal situation to deal with.  Sherry is a caregiver at heart.  She is the type of caregiver that we look for that has a nurturing spirit and caring for others is part of her soul.  Sherry is originally from Norfolk, VA, but has been in Richmond for 10 years.  In her spare time, she likes to travel and play basketball.
