Press Release Summary: From personal stress of finding quality senior care to one of
2008's hottest franchises; Senior Helpers now spans the pages of Entrepreneur®
Magazine's 2008 Franchise 500 Rankings

Press Release Body: Towson, MD - March 13, 2008 - Senior Helpers, one of the
nation's leading full-service home care companies providing personal and
professional caregiver services to seniors who want to maintain their independence
in their homes, has earned top spots in Entrepreneur Magazine's Franchise 500
rankings. The company was awarded three prominent spots in the publication's
prestigious Franchise 500 rankings, including: #25 Top New Franchise Ranking, #351
Franchise 500 Ranking, #93 Fastest-Growing Franchise Ranking.

"Since inception, Senior Helpers has experienced tremendous growth. Having such a
well respected magazine recognize our company with such accolades, builds a lot of
pride in the services we provide," said Peter Ross, CEO and Co-founder of Senior
Helpers. "The rankings we received in Entrepreneur Magazine prove that the company
we've built is now a proven leader in the senior care industry, poised for both
on-going growth and sustainability."

Senior Helpers first opened its doors in 2001 in Towson, Maryland as a result of two
friends who were unable to find at-home assistance for their elderly loved ones.
The entrepreneurial friends, Peter Ross and Tony Bonacuse, co-founded Senior Helpers
with the idea of franchising right from the start. Bonacuse opened the first
location, which flourished in his Maryland hometown. Then, in early 2005, Ross
successfully opened a second location in Southern California and in August, the
company began franchising, opening up 21 additional locations within one year. The
momentum continued, leading to more than 180 franchise locations serving markets
across the country.

Senior Helpers provides a wide range of personal and companion care services to
assist senior citizens living independently at home, with a strong focus on both the
quality of life for the client and peace of mind for the family. A few of their
services include: help with housework, meal preparation, errands, transportation,
medication reminders and Alzheimer's care. They also offer dressing, bathing, and
personal hygiene assistance provided by Certified Nurses Aids (CNAs) - services that
traditional caregiver companies do not always provide.

Speaking of their success, "We feel so fortunate that through establishing this
company, we have not only provided peace of mind for the family, but also a service
that provides personal, quality care for each of our clients," commented Tony
Bonacuse, President and Co-founder of Senior Helpers. "Senior Helpers is now
recognized as a solution for families who are struggling to find reliable and
professional caregivers who will spend quality time with their loved ones, while
still providing whatever assistance they may need."
