Hello, my name is Amy McWilliams, and I am a Home Care Consultant for Home Instead. I am a native of Jacksonville, Fl. I grew up in the Southside area and attended Bishop Kenny High School followed by the University of North Florida. I married my husband, Brian, in 2002 and we have two wonderful, athletic, children that keep us busy with their sports. I have always had a love for the seniors in our community since I was young. I taught the stretch class at the age of 17 at Memorial Hospital's fitness center dedicated to seniors. While I attended UNF, I was a caregiver for Home Instead. I gained knowledge of the aging process from my personal experience with seniors on all levels ranging from the need for companionship, to Dementia/Alzheimer's care, to comforting them in their final days. It was the start of a wonderful journey that I am very thankful for. Throughout the years leading to my current position, I worked for a geriatric medical supply company, collaborated with medical facilities and senior communities as an Account Executive for home health, and started my own company focusing on exercise routines for seniors in the Assisted Living Facilities. Seeing the residents participate in activities and enjoy them with their peers was and continues to be true happiness for me. I was given the incredible opportunity to rejoin the Home Instead team in April 2024 in a role that allows me to educate our community on the elite services Home Instead offers to our aging population and I am very thankful to be a part of it. It is a true personal triumph to be able to advocate for the health and wellbeing of our seniors every day.
