Senior Helpers of Honolulu Achieves CHAP Age-Friendly Care Certification

HONOLULU, Hawaii—Senior Helpers, a national provider of in-home senior care services, announced its Honolulu, Hawaii location has been Age-Friendly Care at Home certified by Community Health Accreditation Partners (CHAP) on May 19.

“Senior Helpers’ achievement as the pioneering Age-Friendly Care certified home care organization is truly remarkable. Their proactive approach in implementing numerous tools to enhance care for older adults, even before receiving the AFC certification, speaks volumes about their commitment to excellence,” said Teresa Harbour, chief operating officer of CHAP. “Their use of LIFE Profile to reduce the risk of hospitalizations, their Senior Gems program for dementia care and their Centers for Excellence for staff training and competency set them up for success, so adding the Age-Friendly Care at Home Certification was a logical next step.”

“Becoming Age-Friendly Care at Home certified was never just about earning a certification for us, it was about doing the right thing for the kūpuna and families we serve every day,” said owner Jenny Cambra. “We chose to voluntarily pursue this certification because we believe Hawaiʻi’s kūpuna deserve a higher standard of care that truly focuses on what matters most to them. I’m incredibly proud that Senior Helpers Honolulu became part of the Age-Friendly Care movement and that we are the first and only home care agency in the state of Hawaiʻi to achieve this certification.”
