## Story

Senior Helpers, one of the nation’s leaders in in-home senior care, has always been interested in providing the growing population of elderly American citizens services that are oftentimes essential.

Recently, the in-home senior care franchise announced participation in the Department of Defense Military Spouse Employment Partnership (MSEP). This exciting new partnership will align Senior Helpers with the other 390 employers around the U.S. who are committed to providing ample career opportunities to military spouses.

“Here at Senior Helpers, we know that being a caregiver takes a special kind of person,” said Matt Majoros, Senior Helpers’ Director of Caregiver Talent and Development. “We are on a mission to find and partner with really great organizations like this that match up with our core values in order to provide world-class services to our clients and a great place to work for our caregivers.”

According to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation, there are more than 600,000 active-duty military spouses in the U.S. In addition to the intense challenges that come with military life, spouses are typically employed at lower rates and earn less than their civilian counterparts.

The issue also hits home for Senior Helpers, with VP of Operations Mari Baxter being from a military family. "As a mother of Marines, I know first-hand the challenges that come with military life," said Baxter. "Military spouses are unsung heroes and we are honored to work alongside organizations that are dedicated to effecting positive economic change for our nation's military families."

“We saw the challenges these spouses were facing,” said Majoros. “Whether it be frequent moves or operational deployments, relocation imposes significant stress on the families and makes it difficult to find employment. Once we were introduced to this partnership opportunity, we realized how perfectly Senior Helpers matches up with the goals of the Military Spouse Employment Partnership.”

With over 300 locations nationwide, Senior Helpers has connected the dots for military spouses and families who found themselves uprooted from one part of the country to another. This flexibility positions caregiving with Senior Helpers to be a prime career opportunity for military spouses who are in need of specific conditions in order to pursue meaningful jobs. The company works closely with MSEP to find job fairs and other development opportunities in local areas specifically aimed at helping military spouses.

Announced in April of this year, the partnership is still an evolving process. Through searchable databases and outreach on the local level, Senior Helpers is able to get in contact with military installations and bases as a way to find military spouses in need of employment. Confident with the partnership, Majoros says Senior Helpers is hoping to grow to a national outreach level.

“We want military spouses to know that they have a home with Senior Helpers,” said Majoros. “Through the Military Spouse Employment Partnership and beyond, we hope to become the career of choice for these strong and resilient heroes.
