Margie Orth

Margie Orth

President/Co-Owner

Throughout her professional life, Margie Orth has been looking for ways to take care of people and pay her blessings forward. Joining the team at Home Instead in 2018 provided her with the opportunity to truly live her mission of service to others. Now, as President and Co-Owner, Margie leads by example as she nurtures Home Instead's culture of gratitude among the staff and Caregivers. Before joining the team, she spent 30 years in the home safety industry, where she ran the day-to-day operations of a Cleveland-based security company. In her free time, Margie volunteered with various nonprofit organizations such as Cornerstone of Hope, which further encouraged and fueled her passion for helping others. She grew up in Brecksville-Broadview Heights and still calls the area home to this day. She attended the University of Toledo, and recently graduated from the Goldman Sachs 10K SMB program. Nothing is more important to Margie than her family and serving the greater Cleveland community and the Mahoning Valley. She believes, quite simply, that there is no greater gift you can give or receive than to honor your calling.

For more than 30 years, Dawn has dedicated her career to caring for others. She joined Home Instead in 2022 because she enjoys working one-on-one with individuals and helping them maintain their independence in the comfort of their own homes. Her healthcare experience includes roles as a CNA, STNA, medication passer, Resident Care Coordinator, scheduler, and administrative support, with much of her career spent in long-term care. Caring for others is also deeply personal to Dawn. She became the guardian of Katie, a special young woman whose mother entrusted Dawn to care for her before she passed away.
