Meet the Mississauga East Office

At Senior Helpers of Mississauga East, we proudly serve our community with a heartfelt commitment to providing exceptional care for your loved ones. Lisa and Russ Donnelly, long-time residents of Mississauga for over 22 years, are the owners and the driving force behind our mission. Engaged members of our community, they have always been passionate about making a positive impact. The decision to open a business dedicated to assisting seniors in our community was a natural choice for them, driven by their love for helping people and their deep roots in Mississauga.

Our History

Our History

As an internationally recognized leader in the in-home senior care industry, Senior Helpers is committed to setting the standard for compassionate personalized care. Since our inception in the Mississauga community, Lisa and Russ have been dedicated to empowering seniors to age with grace in their own homes and supporting the families who want to ensure the best possible quality of life for their loved ones. 

They firmly believe in the importance of maintaining independence for seniors while offering the necessary support to do so. As active advocates for seniors' rights and well-being, they align their values with the 91% of Canadian seniors who express the desire to age in place.

The joy of knowing they're making a difference by helping seniors remain in the place where they feel safest and happiest is what drives Lisa and Russ every day. They understand that sometimes, a little help is all it takes to maintain independence. While owning and operating a business is their livelihood, their true reward comes from witnessing their dedicated Care Team enriching the lives of seniors in the Mississauga community.

Beyond their business endeavours, Lisa and Russ are deeply involved in community initiatives. They are active members of CARP (Canadian Association of Retired People) and collaborate with various local charities, leveraging their association to extend support and care beyond the confines of their office.

Family plays a significant role in their lives, with their son Matt and his fiancée Renee residing in Halifax. At home, they find comfort in the companionship of their beloved 10+ year old black cat, Gemma.

Their commitment to excellence has not gone unnoticed. With four consecutive Readers' Choice Awards for outstanding Senior Home Care, their Care Team's dedication and compassion have been recognized by the community. Moreover, their efforts during the pandemic were honored when they were chosen as "Covid Heroes" by the Mayor of Mississauga, a testament to their unwavering dedication to serving seniors in times of need.

Though we may all have different needs on our journey through aging, we all deserve support and dignity. Our care solutions are unique to each individual client, and our experienced caregivers are passionate about making a positive impact on the lives of seniors and their families.

Co-Owners, Senior Helpers Mississauga East

Lisa & Russ Donnelly opened Senior Helpers Mississauga East in 2019.  Lisa has an extensive background in health care, and Russ has held senior marketing & business management roles with a wide range of Canadian and international companies.  Their backgrounds, coupled with their compassion, give Senior Helpers Mississauga an excellent base – but our strength is our Care Team.  We are so proud of the PSW & Companion Caregivers that represent us in our community – they are the lifeblood of Senior Helpers Mississauga!

In their spare time, Lisa loves to knit, puzzle, and go for long walks while listening to her favourite tunes from the '80s! Russ is a jogger and loves playing hockey when he can!


I was considering a retirement home when my granddaughter contacted Senior Helpers. With their help, i was able to stay in my own home. I appreciate the service and care provided by Senior Helpers Barrie.
