Mary-Joy Lipari

President/Owner

Serving seniors has been a passion of mine since helping to care for my grandparents in the 1990's. I resonated with the personal nature of caring for a loved one, while trusting others to help when our family couldn't be there. In 2004, I was blessed with the opportunity to help others by being awarded the Home Instead Senior Care franchise in Rochester, New York. Our mission is to help seniors stay in their homes to age gracefully and with dignity, while maintaining a safe and loving environment. Owning the Home Instead Senior Care franchise has been a perfect next step after a career in corporate America. After graduating from Rochester Institute of Technology, I became a CPA working at Price Waterhouse as a staff auditor and tax accountant. In 1985, I commenced a 30-year career at Xerox Corporation serving in several financial, operational and sales management roles. In 2009 I completed the certification program to become a Certified Senior Advisor. "It is my privilege and honor to serve the seniors in our community." It is my hope and dream to help seniors age gracefully and safely at home with their loved ones. To me, it's personal.
