Our Story
Owners Amy and Barry Petersen-Smith know firsthand the importance of dependable in-home care. When Amy’s grandmother suffered a fall and had to leave her home, they experienced the emotional and logistical challenges many families face. That journey inspired them to dedicate their lives to helping seniors stay where they feel happiest—at home.
Today, Senior Helpers of Charleston proudly serves Charleston, Dorchester, and Berkeley Counties, providing trusted care that preserves dignity, independence, and quality of life.
