Cindy Dutra

Nurse & Care Manager

With over 25 years of nursing experience in Home Health and Hospice, I’ve spent more than a decade in home care providing compassionate, personalized support to clients and their families. Part of my role is conducting in-home visits to assess our clients’ needs and ensure they are receiving the quality of care they deserve. During these visits, I evaluate their condition, review their care plans, and make sure our caregivers are providing the right level of support. It’s important to me that every client feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their own home. I also take great pride in supporting our veteran clients, ensuring they receive the respectful, dignified, and compassionate care they deserve. Outside of work, my husband and I stay active in community service through Rotary, and I love spending my free time on the golf course or making memories with my grandkids. Being part of the team at Home Helpers allows me to advocate for our clients and make sure they continue receiving the highest standard of care.

We’re Stronger Together

Jackie McMahon

There’s one thing we see every day in this line of work—no one is meant to do this alone. Whether it’s caring for an aging parent or managing new health challenges, there always comes a moment when support becomes essential.

Many families try to handle everything themselves and end up feeling overwhelmed and unsure of where to turn. At Home Helpers, we want to gently remind you that asking for help is not a sign of weakness, it’s one of the strongest steps you can take.

For more than 25 years, we’ve had the honor of supporting families in our community. And through those years, we’ve learned that care works best when there’s a network of trusted relationships behind it.

While we’re proud to provide exceptional home care, our role extends beyond the services we offer. We’ve built meaningful connections with professionals who share our commitment to quality and compassion—assisted living communities, discharge planners, fiduciaries, therapists, and more.

That means when you call us, you’re not just getting home care, you’re gaining access to a supportive, experienced network ready to help you navigate your options.

If you’re unsure about your next step, we’re here to listen, guide, and connect you with the right resources. Because no one should face life’s challenges alone—and you never have to feel like you do.
