Who We Are

A Foundation for Care

At Senior Fluent, we believe that every senior should live a fulfilling life surrounded by people who care. When age takes its toll, we understand that assistance with daily living is a necessity. Our goal is to provide the best possible care in a comfortable setting that feels like home. Whether you need help getting ready in the morning or those friendly reminders to take your daily medication, we will ensure you have what you need. Our Staff is trained and certified in all care areas and dedicated to treating you like family.

Meet the Founders: Blake & Helen Koenekamp

Blake and Helen Koenekamp are the husband-and-wife team behind Senior Fluent. They combine experience in healthcare, business and raising a family with one purpose: creating welcoming homes where seniors receive thoughtful care, feel valued and belong.

Helen Koenekamp | Co-Founder

Helen brings a background as a dentist, an entrepreneurial spirit and the heart of a devoted wife and mother. Originally from Brazil, she has cared for patients and dedicated herself to her family as a stay-at-home mother. That experience shapes her work at Senior Fluent: patience, attention to detail and the everyday comforts that make a house feel like home. She helps create an environment where residents are known as individuals and families feel welcome.

Blake Koenekamp | Co-Founder

Blake is a husband, father and entrepreneur who believes the best senior living begins with genuine relationships. He has owned and operated businesses since 2013 and has worked in senior care since 2019, learning what residents and families need most: kindness, consistency, clear communication and a true sense of home. His background in automotive entrepreneurship shaped his practical approach to leadership, service and day-to-day operations.

What is A Family Care Home?

At Senior Fluent, we believe every older adult deserves a full life surrounded by people who care. When help with daily living becomes necessary, that help should come with dignity, in a home that feels like home. That's why we created The Maple: a small, state-licensed family care home in Zebulon where memory care and everyday support happen at a family table, not in a hallway. Our caregivers are CNAs and PCAs, and every one of them holds a medication aide (med tech) credential. With one caregiver for every three residents on every shift, they have time to know each resident's routines, preferences and good days.
