Who is Senior Helpers of Alaska? Senior Care, Only Better. Lance and Taryn have lived on the Kenai Peninsula in Soldotna since 2014. They both grew up in military families, but met and married in Las Vegas, NV. After he retired from the hospital, Lance knew he wanted to do something meaningful and make an impact in the community. His and Taryn's experience taking care of their own parents as their care needs changed through the years gives them such a unique and personal insight into all the hard work and compassion it takes to be responsible for a loved one as they age. One of Lance's dreams has always been to build a family run business and when the opportunity with Senior Helpers crossed his path, he knew this was exactly what he was looking for. He and his wife Taryn are excited to get to work along with their daughter Rachel in this organization. Family is so important to the Spindlers, between them, they have 11 children, 26 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchild so far. Alaska has been so good to our family and we want to take care of you.
