Martin and Sarah Warner
Martin and Sarah Warner opened the first Australian office of Home Instead Senior Care in March 2005. Martin has a background and qualifications in business management and franchise consulting, while Sarah is an experienced researcher in aged care issues. Wishing to pool their talents and establish a business together, they were attracted to Home Instead Senior Care because of their experience as primary carergivers for Martin's mother. In a marketplace dominated by government funded providers and processes, Martin and Sarah quickly identified the opportunity to introduce greater choice and flexibility of services based on clients wants and needs. Older adults have increasingly higher expectations of quality of care and the Warners' goal is to exceed them on every occasion.
"We were attracted immediately to Home Instead Senior Care because we could personally relate to the concept, and knew that there was a great need for quality non-medical home care services in Australia. We were impressed from the start with the people we met in the Home Office in Omaha, and by the values that Founders Lori and Paul Hogan have instilled in the business from day one and retained as the business has grown nationally and internationally.
We receive support from experienced professionals who assist us in building and developing our business in Australia. They deliver on their promises and are focused on helping us achieve our goals the best they can. For example, when we secured a meeting in June 2006 with the Australian government to discuss Home Instead Senior Care, the Hogans immediately made themselves available, traveling to Australia on short notice to share their experiences with John Howard, the Australian Prime Minister, and other key government ministers. This is typical of the support we receive."
