Dale Schendt, Owner
Dale was born and raised on a farm in the Lawrence Nebraska area. He married Colleen Hoarty in 1984 and they had two children, Chelsey and Alex. He was a farmer and later auto technician and eventually had his own small business repair shop. He and his wife moved to Omaha for a job opportunity. Dale and Colleen were introduced to Home Instead Senior Care in 2003 and both felt this was a way to provide quality service to seniors, give back to the community and be closer to their own parents. They were awarded a Home Instead franchise in 2003 in their home town area. They opened the doors in January of 2004. Dale has been very active in community and church activities and the Alzheimer's Association.
