About Us
Meet Our Owner - Jojo Youngs
Since even before starting Senior Options, Jojo has been caring for those around her. Her previous employment was with Aloha Care Center where she met her future first client, Mr. Bill Brown. Bill had care needs that went above merely just feeding and clothing. He needed companionship and someone to advocate for him in sensitive matters. Jojo started assisting him with all matters regarding to his health and cared for him until the day he passed away. In helping Mr. Brown, it fueled a fire inside her to want to help people in their own homes, where they are most comfortable, and so she began Senior Options.
Since 2002, we have provided in home care based on the principle of “Making Good Memories…Today!” We serve with compassion and excellence to provide the highest standard of care. We want to make great memories in the last years of life that future generations can pass on.
