Symphony Krueger, Owner
Meet Symphony Krueger, the dedicated owner of Home Instead in La Mesa. With a passion for helping others and a background in early childhood education spanning over 16 years, Symphony brings a wealth of experience and compassion to the senior care industry.
Symphony's journey with Home Instead began in 2010 when she joined the team in Sacramento. From the start, she was driven by a deep-seated desire to empower individuals and enhance their quality of life. Transitioning from nurturing young minds to caring for seniors, Symphony found her calling in ensuring that individuals of all ages receive the respect, kindness, and support they deserve.
Throughout her tenure at Home Instead, Symphony has risen through the ranks, honing her skills in caregiver recruitment, training, coaching, and leadership. Her commitment to assembling top-notch care teams stems from her belief that every client deserves the highest standard of care to maintain independence, safety in their own homes and being a resource to navigate the aging journey.
Now at the helm of the La Mesa office since February 2024, Symphony remains steadfast in her promise to uphold dignity, respect, and excellence in care delivery. She envisions Home Instead as more than just a service provider but as a cornerstone of support for employees and families alike. Symphony is dedicated to offering tailored solutions that enable local seniors to age gracefully and comfortably at home, wherever you may call home.
