Kelly Hutchison

Kelly Hutchison

Owner

Kelly experienced the caregiving journey firsthand when his father, a WWII decorated Army veteran, passed away in the family farmhouse in 1999. The decade-long experience opened his eyes and heart to the challenges families face when caring for their senior loved one. Prior to Home Instead, Kelly worked in the consulting industry for twenty years. He helped large consumer goods and health care service provider design and implement business strategies and improve operations. This business experience helps him assess problems and implement solutions. He is very proud of his trusted relationships with Home Instead's Care Professionals and is inspired by their compassion. One of Kelly's quotes: "Each day I come to work happy and I go home happy."

Martina DiCristina

Martina DiCristina

Inbound Sales Manager

Martina joined Home Instead in July of 2025. Since obtaining her degree in Psychology in 2007, she has had a passion for helping people. With years of experience in customer service and sales roles, she finds great joy in listening, understanding, and connecting with others. As a Service Inquiry Specialist, Martina is motivated to speak with those in need of care and explain how Home Instead's services can bring comfort into their homes. Prior to Home Instead, Martina was a real estate agent, helping people find their homes during the few years she lived in Arizona. After having her first child in 2023, she decided to move back to Illinois to be around family and for her son to enjoy their presence. In 2024, she helped her mother with taking care of her grandmother. With something as simple as playing a card game with her, her grandmother would smile and forget any pain she had at that moment. Learning that Home Instead helps seniors live comfortably in their homes is what drew Martina to this role. During her spare time, Martina enjoys spending time with her husband, her two little ones (son and daughter), and her little cavapoo dog. She loves traveling and exploring different cultures, and collecting seashells from beautiful beaches around the world.
