Kathi Lenart and Cheryl Stawovy - Owners

After many years of living with an aunt and her family a decision was made to put grandma in a personal care home.  Our mother did not agree with this idea and decided that grandma would come and live with her.  She worked from home in the family business and thought that taking care of grandma would be easy.  What she didn’t count on was that she would be responsible for her 24/7.  She could not leave her alone so she wasn’t able to do the things that she would normally enjoy.  Golfing, lunch with friends; nights out with dad were a thing of the past.  She felt like a prisoner in her own home.  This became a stressful time for her and the rest of the family. An ad in our local paper for a homecare franchise caught our attention.  Home Instead Senior Care could have provided the respite our mom so desperately needed.  We purchased the business in September of 2008 and it was one of the best decisions we could have made.  Every day we are helping people just like mom. Kathi and Cheryl previously owned and operated a medical waste disposal company for 18 years.

 Your Home Instead Senior Care team in Oakmont possesses a heartfelt desire to work with seniors in the community. It’s the reason why they were chosen to serve seniors and their families in Oakmont, Monroeville, Penn Hills, Plum, Fox Chapel and surrounding areas. It is our ultimate goal to forge extraordinary relationships between our clients and their CAREGivers.
