Home Instead: Owner Spotlight

STEPHEN LAIR

Home Instead Burlington, NC

Years ago, as Stephen Lair was rushing out the door for work, his young son grabbed onto his leg and asked a simple question: “Daddy, what are you going to do today?”

Stephen’s answer came without much thought: “I’m going to go help people.”

But on the drive to work, those words stuck with him. They captured something bigger about what his work at Home Instead had become.

Nearly 20 years later, helping people is still what drives Stephen. Sometimes that means supporting a family. Sometimes it means believing in a Care Pro or helping a key player grow. And now, it means watching his son Campbell work in the business and develop his own love for the mission.

Watch Stephen share why Home Instead became bigger than he ever imagined.
