“My family has been involved in the senior care industry for 2 decades. We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to age with dignity and grace in the comfort of their homes. We aspired to have the best care experience in our community”.

Kathy recently joined the Export office but has been working with Home Instead for almost 15 years in neighboring communities. This experience as well as her business education and family experience with Alzheimer's has given her a strong base to help the Export office provide quality care to seniors in Westmoreland County. 

Kathy is married with three adult children, living near and far. She enjoys traveling, hiking, biking and reading.   

Desiree began working with our office in 2011 as a CAREGiver. She was drawn towards the position when reading the job description - it was the change she was looking for after working as a nanny. In 2016 she began working in the office as the Administrative Assistant, then started in Human Resources before being promoted to Office Manager in 2019.

Her Bachelor's & Master's Degrees in Social Work have helped her share meaningful relationships with our clients and Care Professionals. As Office Manager she helps ensure day-to-day operations run smoothly and oversees the retention and engagement of our Care Professional team. She loves our team environment and office culture, which she believes makes Home Instead a great place to be!

At home, Desiree is a proud tortoise mom, enjoys the outdoors, and loves to travel with her husband.

A graduate of SNHU with a Bachelor's Degree in Human Resources and Business Management, Sarah has served as our Manager of Client Services since 2016. She started earlier that year as a CAREGiver after her experience with her own grandmother, who had rapid onset dementia.

Sarah's efforts ensure that clients and their families have the best possible experience. She conducts quality assurance visits with existing clients and care consultations with those who are interested in our services.

In the community, Sarah is a landlord and is often busy with home projects.
