April 30, 2025 // Franchising.com // Tempe, Ariz. – SYNERGY® HomeCare has announced its newest location based in New Jersey’s Warren County, SYNERGY Homecare of Phillipsburg.
The company is owned and operated by the husband and wife duo of Mayowa and Ogechi Okubanjo, who are both actively involved in their local church and nearby nonprofit organizations, where they have fostered strong connections with fellow residents. Many in Warren County have already come to appreciate their heartfelt commitment to service and the positive impact they strive to make in the community
Headquartered at 904 Coventry Drive in Phillipsburg, the Okubanjos assist residents throughout Warren County with a wide variety of non-medical, in-home care services, from companion care to personal care and respite care.
In their roles with local community organizations, Mayowa and Ogechi frequently noticed the growing need for these services in the area, particularly among Baby Boomers. U.S. Census statistics show that 10,000 Baby Boomers are turning 65 every day and that by 2030, there will be more than 70 million people over 65. According to the AARP, over 80% of this demographic reports wanting to remain in their own homes for as long as possible.
After graduating from Rutgers University, Mayowa has accumulated over 15 years of experience as a seasoned human resources professional in workforce management and HR operations in the healthcare industry. Mayowa has a proven track record of enhancing operational effectiveness, improving employee engagement, and implementing innovative HR strategies. His passion for helping others is rooted in personal experiences, driving him to make a meaningful impact in the lives of those around him through compassionate caregiving. His commitment to community service is exemplified through his leadership roles in local church activities and outreach initiatives.
“Helping people has always been a source of deep fulfillment for me,” said Mayowa. “Nothing in life makes me happier than making a positive impact in someone’s life, and that passion is what led me to home care. I saw firsthand the level of care and support that my father needed in his time of vulnerability, and every day since, I am reminded of the importance of having access to a genuine and nurturing support system. My goal is to make a meaningful difference by providing that support system to my community.”
Ogechi spends much of her time helping vulnerable groups in her community through her efforts with local non-profit organizations. She is the Director of a nearby organization dedicated to mentoring young girls as they navigate the early stages of their lives and is also the leader of another nonprofit organization that provides support and empowerment opportunities to women and children with visual and physical disabilities. Both she and Mayowa are driven by the power of community and their belief that they share a collective purpose to enhance the lives of those they serve.
“Our everyday lives center around delivering compassionate, personalized service, where every individual receives the dignity, respect, and empathy they deserve,” said Ogechi. “Long before we ever thought about the home care industry, Mayowa and I had always known we could do more for the people around us, and now this is our opportunity to do so.”
Many older residents in Warren County often need to rely on caregivers for additional assistance cooking, shopping, running errands, doing light housekeeping or going for walks. Some even require personal care, such as help with bathing, dressing or using the toilet.
“We strive to create a culture of genuine care and compassion,” said Mayowa. “The smiles, gratitude, and trust we receive from our clients are the rewards that drive us to continue fully dedicating ourselves to this cause, and we want anyone who comes to us for help to feel at ease knowing that they will be valued and cared for in every aspect of their lives.”
