Chloe Mae Loop - Client Care Consultant

Chloe, a Chicago native, is already familiar with Home Instead - her mother is the owner of two successful franchises serving the city of Chicago for the last 10 years. Chloe has a special place in her heart for Seniors instilled from a young age, which she attributes to frequent and cherished visits to her grandparents, elderly neighbors as well as her friendships with people of all ages and stages of life. Chloe was grateful to help provide end-of-life care for her Grandma Shirley, something that reinforced her appreciation and compassion for life and providing high quality care.

Chloe brings over ten years of professional experience and skills to our team from various different industries, including entrepreneurship and consulting, teaching and performing dance around the world, filmmaking, translation/interpreting work in Mandarin.

During her free time Chloe enjoys being active outdoors, working towards her Pilates certification, dancing, drawing, and cooking. She loves sharing her personal passion for movement and health with everyone and is excited to be with Home Instead!
