Mark Labib - President and Owner
My name
is Mark Labib. I currently live and grew up in Syosset, NY. I am
blessed to say I am married to my lovely wife Nicole and the proud
father of three amazing children. I graduated from UMASS-Amherst in
1998. I was an Economics major. I spent 13 years working on Wall St. as
an equities trader. In December 2009 I made a career change and bought
the existing Home Instead Senior Care franchise.

The
first thing I hear from people is how did I go from wall street to
home care. It is a story I would like to share. I was always troubled by
my career as a trader. It was very stressful. It was a career you could
not leave at the office, it became all consuming. But the fact remained
I was good at it and it provided me with a living. Then everything
changed in January 2009. My father Maher Z. Labib, my hero, my friend,
was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer. The diagnosis was not good. They
gave him three months to live. I immediately took a leave of absence
from work and resigned in February 2009 not knowing what was to come. I
never returned to Wall St. I had decided it was time to move on. I spent
the following months dealing with my dad's illness. My family needed me
and I wanted to be there for them. As things settled down I started to
think about my own situation. I decided it was time to do and work for
myself. So my search began. In June 2009 I came across the Home Instead
franchise for sale. I did my due diligence on the business and the
industry. I was impressed with all of it. Maybe it was the fact that I
spent every day in a hospital with my dad that gave me an appreciation
from home care. maybe it was the fact I witnessed complete strangers
care for my dad so passionately. Whatever it was it felt right. My
father's sickness and death lead to the point where being a Home
Instead Senior Care franchise owner was the right move for me and my
family.
I am grateful for everyday that lead me to this wonderful
agency. I now love what I do. I love to meet with families and share my
story as I personally know there struggles and pain for caring for an
aging and sometimes ill parent. It is a wonderful feeling knowing you
make a difference in a seniors life. I have found my calling. And most
of all I thank my father. In a way Home Instead Senior Care of Merrick,
NY was his parting gift to me.
