[email protected] Nothing means more to Home Instead franchise owner Lisa Rabito than family. The New Orleans-area native is surrounded by a close-knit, loving family that includes husband Mark, sons Matthew and Christian, and daughter Laura. Every member of Lisa's family has embraced a benevolent career that involves helping others. Lisa, who grew up in a warm family setting and graduated Mount Carmel Academy, is a Louisiana State University grad. Lisa has another family. It is the Home Instead staff and Caregivers, as well as the Metairie franchise's clients and their families. Lisa's Home Instead family has served the Orleans and Jefferson Parishes for nearly 20 years. "For me," Lisa firmly said, "everything is about relationships. With strong family ties, you have an authentic count-on-me stability, dignity, respect and help when it's requested. Everything about Home Instead is like family to us."

[email protected] My tenure at Home Instead these past 10 years has helped shape me into the person I am today - I started as a Caregiver, worked in the billing and payroll department, hired and recruited Caregivers, worked as the marketing director for 8 years, and currently have been promoted to the General Manager position. I want to learn each and every day about not only this company, but also the home care industry in general. I believe this industry is ever-evolving, and I want to make sure we are well equipped to handle the needs of our client base and Care Professionals. I am a husband to my wonderful wife Katie, a father to my baby boy Remy (and 2 cats), and an avid Saints and LSU fan. I graduated from Jesuit High School, then received my undergraduate degree at LSU in Management, and finally graduated from Loyola with my MBA.​​​​

[email protected] I have been with Home Instead for 10 years in September 2023. I started off as a Caregiver. I have always loved caring for others and giving back. I wear many hats at Home Instead, like working on-call staffing, assistant admin staffing, and now Staffing in the office. I enjoy making connections with Care Pros and clients. I also get the joy of hearing some of the most wonderful stories from clients, client family members, and our Care Pros. Lastly, I am so proud to say that my grandmother, Bobbie Smith, won Caregiver of the year in 2012. She has always been such an inspiration to me and taught me how to care for others and to respect my elders. If I am lucky, I will become a senior, one day.

​ [email protected] I have been a nurse for over 50 years and have enjoyed every minute of it. I have worked in acute care hospitals and long term care before coming to Home Instead. Home Instead enables me to connect with clients and Care Pros and help wherever I am needed. I have been with Home Instead for 5 plus years, starting as a Care Pro, and then moving into education and training , and also into the Client Care realm. Growing up in Pittsburgh, PA, I am part of a legacy of blue collar hard working individuals . Go Steelers! As the oldest of 10 children, I have been a caregiver all of my life. I truly feel I am where I was meant to be.

[email protected] I have found my heart in senior care. Every day, I have the privilege of connecting with families who are trying to navigate one of the most important seasons of their lives. I know how overwhelming it can feel to make decisions about care, and my goal is to make that first conversation feel calm, supportive, and genuine. I spent six years in marketing. What I've always loved most is simply connecting with people. Hearing their stories. Understanding what matters to them. Helping in whatever way I can. Working in senior care has truly touched me in ways I didn't expect, and being able to help bring assistance or guidance to families is something I never take lightly. Outside of work, I'm a proud mom to three incredible sons and two very spoiled dog sons. My family is my whole world, and being a mom has shaped the compassion and perspective I bring into every conversation. I treat the families I work with the way I would hope someone would treat mine, with patience, honesty, and heart.

[email protected] ​​ Being a boy mom and knowing the importance of family are important aspects of life for Lynne-Marie. I started working for Home Instead in 2014 in the Staffing Office, building relationships with clients and CAREGivers. When I became a Client Care Coordinator- it changed my life. Getting to share stories with our Seniors is the best part of my day! Having families know they can trust us to care for their loved one when they cannot be there is the icing on the cake. I get to interact with our clients and CAREGivers in so many ways and share in successes and in sorrow. I helped care for my own grandparents growing up and use what I learned from them to live my life to the fullest. I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Sociology from the University of New Orleans. I live in Harahan with my husband and 2 sons.

[email protected] I first started working with Home Instead in 2017 as the Home Care Consultant as well as being the Social Media/Website Manager. When I first entered this role, I had no clue how much my life would change. All of the insightful information I would come to learn would directly play a role in my personal life. I was raised by my grandparents and learning more about quality aging has helped me to walk my own grandparents through this transition in their lives. I enjoy making connections with others in the healthcare field as well as helping to educate with CEUs, in-services and one on one meetings with helpful resources for aging adults. Our company also adopts around 1500 seniors each year with the help of our local community for our Be a Santa to a Senior Program. Hopefully, we will all live long enough to become senior adults, who age gracefully with a quality life. Information and education are so valuable to have and that's what I would love to help with!
