Seniors Helping Seniors®: A New Face for Senior Care in Pasadena

In a heartfelt effort to fortify community ties, Lindsey Keefner has introduced Seniors Helping Seniors® Pasadena–Glendale, a unique in-home care service that pairs older adults as caregivers with the seniors in need of companionship and support. Licensed by the California Department of Social Services, this initiative caters to older adults in Pasadena, Glendale, Altadena, South Pasadena, San Marino, La Cañada Flintridge, and the surrounding neighborhoods, seamlessly integrating into a national network comprising over 200 franchise partners across 400 territories.

The inspiration for this venture sprouted from a deeply challenging community event—the Eaton fire in Altadena. Witnessing her neighbors come together in genuine solidarity, even amid great loss, left Keefner with a profound realization of the importance of connection. It was this sense of community support that inspired her to transition from a career in the tech industry, where she spent two decades building marketing teams and community engagement programs, to a vocation that fosters more personal and meaningful interactions.

“I reached a point where I wanted to do something that focused on human connection and had a more direct positive impact on the people around me,” Keefner reflected. The fires served as a catalyst, solidifying her desire to create a business that could positively influence her local community.

After considering several opportunities outside of her tech background, Keefner found her calling in the Seniors Helping Seniors® model. “The moment I encountered this business, I felt it was different from anything else I had explored,” she noted. The completely unique structure not only serves seniors in need but also provides caregivers—who are often seniors themselves—with a renewed sense of purpose and connection to the community.

What sets Seniors Helping Seniors® apart is its commitment to establishing genuine friendships between the client and the caregiver. This model goes beyond mere assistance; it fosters a deep connection that enriches the lives of both parties. “It’s not just about helping out with chores or errands. The caregiver and the senior become buddies who truly understand each other,” said Keefner.

The arrival of this service to the Pasadena area is a beacon of hope for many older adults aiming to maintain their independence while enjoying social interaction. At the same time, it offers valuable opportunities for seniors looking to give back by stepping into caregiver roles themselves. Keefner is currently hiring caregivers throughout Pasadena and Glendale and offers flexible, part-time hours along with paid training, with applications being accepted via ACaringJob.com.

“We are thrilled to welcome Lindsey into the Seniors Helping Seniors® family,” commented Namrata Yocom-Jan, the brand's president. “Her impressive background in community building makes her an ideal fit for our mission. We’re excited to see her positive impact on local seniors and their families.” Through her business, Keefner aspires to create more than just a service for senior care — she aims to develop a resource where older adults and their families feel acknowledged, valued, and connected.
