Background: Having spent many years in the customer service field and supervising in a call center, Angela was needed to provide care for her aging parents. She has a compassionate and caring nature and is able to be the calm voice in any situation. She truly lives up to our Core Values: Communication, Accuracy, Teamwork, and Integrity.

Why Senior Care? Angela chose to work for Home Instead Senior Care after her experience as a family caregiver who received assistance from Home Instead for her parents. "Everyone was so helpful. They cared for my dad mostly, but always made sure my mother, who had dementia always felt included. I knew this had to be a great place to work. After I began working for Home Instead, I immediately felt like I was a part of the family."

​Background:​ Michele joined the Home Instead team after working in pharmaceuticals for 30 years. Through her career she developed a knack for building relationships with all types of people and strengthened her listening skills to be able to accurately make suggestions to help meet her clients needs. After retiring to Delaware, Michele joined the Home Instead family and has been a wealth of information for her clients and their families to help get the superior service they deserve.

​Why Senior Care:​ After being a primary caregiver for her mother after she was diagnosed with dementia, when Michele saw the advertisement for Home Instead Senior Care, she knew the position was meant for her. She rejoined the work force to ensure the seniors in her area are well cared for while they remain in the comfort of their own homes.

Background: Lee Graduated in 1977 from Lancaster Bible College with a B.S. in Bible and then began working in an administrative role for manufacturing companies. Like many of our staff, Lee began her career with Home Instead as a CAREGIVER and then transitioned into an administrative role. Her cheery and compassionate personality is a ray of sunshine for clients, caregivers and coworkers alike!

Why senior care? Senior Care chose Lee. While she was looking for a part-time position after relocating to Delaware, she saw an ad on a local job board and applied. She fell in love with caregiving and continues to care for her clients when she is not working in her administrative role.

Background: Hannah worked in Direct Care for over 10 years mainly with the youth and young adult population before taking time off to care for her own children. She re-entered the work force by going into retail where she became a supervisor shortly thereafter. During this time, she was able to hone her customer service skills. 

Why senior care? Although she loved working in retail, Hannah has always had a passion for helping others and wanted to provide service in a different way. While looking for a career change, she found Home Instead. She felt it was the perfect fit and made the leap. 

Background: Deanna is a mother of two boys and has been living in Delaware for the last five years. Deanna was born into a military family and her life was spent moving all over the country. Even though she born in Las Vegas, NV, Deanna spent many years of her life in Fredericksburg, VA.

Why senior care? When Deanna was young, her grandmother suffered multiple health events. She started taking on the role as caregiver to her grandparents and received much knowledge about senior care during her youth. It's been ten years since the passing of both of her grandparents, and the love and connection to her grandparents is why Deanna chose to go into senior care. Deanna understands that as a community, we all must care for those who came before us.
