Erika Armstrong was an air ambulance, corporate, charter, and airline pilot and trainer for 35 years until her life was literally intersected by an uninsured drunk driver. While navigating the fallout of being unable to fly again, she also tried to support her aging parents, and it wasn’t going smoothly. Erika’s dad, a gruff Marine, grappled with how to preserve his dignity and safety at home. She moved him from Minnesota into her own house, only to discover how daunting caregiving could be. With no accessible help like Senior Helpers, Erika saw a clear, urgent need for these services. Stuck at a crossroads, she took a decisive right turn and bought a local Senior Helpers franchise to serve the Denver West and Mountain communities.
