I want to thank you so much for your attention to detail and let you know how very much we appreciate the flexibility of your staff. Every caregiver you have sent our way has been especially wonderful, professional and most of all caring. We find the caregivers easy to work with and enjoy their company as much as my mom does.

Candy Smith - Owner

Candy opened this Home Instead Senior Care office in 2003, with a desire to have a positive impact on the lives of the elderly in our community. Her compassion for seniors grew early on as a teen-aged volunteer at a local nursing home. She has an extensive background in business and services management, and enjoys utilizing this expertise in bringing joy and relieving stress for Seniors and their families.

“Combining my love of Senior’s with my heart for service has been a very natural progression for me. I am honored every day to meet and assist our Senior’s and their families. Creating positive and high quality relationships, lending a hand with daily tasks, and bringing a smile and ready ear to someone – how very lovely to have a positive impact, one person at a time! To me, it’s personal!”

It All Started With Our Founders

Lori and Paul Hogan, Home Instead Senior Care Co-Founders
It was Paul and Lori Hogan’s own experience caring for Paul's grandmother in her home for 12 years that inspired them to launch Home Instead Senior Care in 1994. Realizing that there were others families like theirs that needed help to keep their loved ones safely living at home, they have devoted themselves to making home care available throughout the U.S. and around the world. It’s what they know and love, and their services allow them to make a real difference to communities, families and individuals everywhere.
