How It All Began
Paul and Lori Hogan founded Home Instead, Inc. and began serving seniors in Omaha, Nebraska as Home Instead Senior Care in 1994. It was Paul Hogan's own family experience caring for his grandmother for 12 years that made him realize the need for non-medical eldercare and companionship services to help seniors live independently at home.
Validation of Our Efforts
In June 1995, the company began franchising. By 1998, the Home Instead Senior Care network had grown to 99 franchises and was recognized by Entrepreneur magazine as one of the 100 fastest growing franchise systems in the United States.
Expanding Our World of Care
In 2000, Home Instead Senior Care began international development with the opening of a Master Franchise in Osaka, Japan. Today, the Home Instead Senior Care franchise network is one of the world's most trusted non-medical sources of companionship and home care for seniors, with more than 800 franchises in the United States, Canada, Japan, Portugal, Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, Taiwan, Spain, Switzerland, Germany, South Korea, Finland, Austria, the United Kingdom, and Puerto Rico.
Dependability, quality of care, and accountability have earned the Home Instead Senior Care network a deep level of trust with clients and their family members and friends, as well as thousands of healthcare, medical, and social organizations worldwide.
A True Spirit of Giving
In 2003, the Home Instead Senior Care Foundation was created to further the philanthropic mission of franchisees. The Foundation's focus and objective is to provide financial assistance to non-profit organizations specializing in projects and programming that improve the quality of life for seniors.
