Kimberly Lebel

General Manager

My passion for care comes from a desire to ensure every person feels valued and heard. I've been in the industry of providing services to the older adult community since owning a business that had the power to make every person, I touched, feel and look their best. I have an affinity for the adult community due to how much they have to offer, share about themselves and the life they've lived.

Registered Nurse

I am most passionate about high quality geriatrics care; always aiming to improve health, independence, and quality of life to the seniors in our community. I started in the medical field as a Nurse's Aide at the age of 16 and graduated from nursing school in 1983! For the first 20 years of my career, I focused on the high-tech world of ICU and dialysis. I then specialized in Home Health and Hospice Support for the past 20 years both in management and direct patient care roles. I train and support our team of professional CAREGivers to provide excellent care, make sure they have the resources they need to be successful and ensure that our clients are safe at home with all their needs met so they can age in place.

Lead Care Pro

Hello, I'm Colleen and my family moved from Rockland New York to Port St Lucie in 2007. I have been a professional CareGiver with Home Instead since 2020 and have been awarded numerous awards including CareGiver of the Year! I love sharing my light and delivering compassionate and empathetic care to our elderly clients. My passion is to show and treat each one of my clients with the love and support as I would want a family member of my own to be treated, and that's how I treat them, like family. Working for Home Instead has been a blessing, the beautiful people I have come in contact with on this life's journey have made me a better person. Not only am I caring for them, but they are unknowingly making a loving impact on me and I'm truly grateful. My goal as a lead caregiver is to leave clients with a happy positive feeling of love that every one of them deserves.
