There is always a "real live person" at the other end of the phone here at Home Instead and most nights and weekends, that warm voice belongs to Claudia Coble. She is a veteran CAREGiver, having worked for Home Instead since 2008. She works during the day as a legal assistant but turns on her phone when the sun goes down, ready to help with questions or concerns from clients, their families, or Care Pros. Claudia grew up in North Platte and graduated from North Platte High. She likes to ride horses and watch her kids participate in rodeo and volleyball. Her favorite times are with friends and family.
