Meet Our Team

As co-owners of Baumgart Home Care Inc., Bob and Janet Baumgart bring together entrepreneurial vision and personal mission—redefining what high-quality home care can look like across every community they serve. 

Since purchasing their first Home Instead franchise in Waukee and Ames, Iowa in 2014, Bob and Janet have expanded their organization thoughtfully and strategically, with the St. George, UT office representing their fourth Home Instead franchise. Their continued growth is grounded in a shared mission:

• To help older adults age in place with dignity and joy 

• To be an employer of choice for compassionate caregivers 

• And to lead the home care industry through innovation, heart, and high standards 

Janet, a Registered Nurse, brings decades of clinical and family-centered care experience. While she is not involved in daily operations at the St. George office, her insight and values continue to shape the company’s approach—especially in meeting the needs of older adults facing cognitive decline and complex health journeys.

Bob’s leadership is rooted in business strategy and operational excellence. With a passion for coaching teams and creating scalable systems without sacrificing human connection, he remains actively involved in guiding Local franchise leaders and ensuring each location—including St. George—reflects their unwavering commitment to quality, trust, and personal service.

Together, Bob and Janet lead with purpose. For them, home care is more than a business—it’s a way to create impact, empower families, and offer older adults a better way to age. 

Amy Alden brings over 20 years of experience in home care leadership to her role as Vice President of Operations for Baumgart Home Care Inc., where she provides strategic vision, operational guidance, and core process development for a growing network of Home Instead franchises, including the St. George, UT office.

Amy began her career with Home Instead in 2004 and has spent the decades since redefining what’s possible for families who want meaningful, dignified alternatives to institutional care. Her expertise lies in developing deeply personalized, long-term care solutions — particularly for those living with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, and cognitive loss — and scaling those systems without sacrificing human connection. 

Amy’s leadership has been shaped by both professional expertise and personal conviction. After witnessing her own grandmother’s painful experience in a nursing home, she became committed to building a better model — one where older adults are seen, heard, and honored, right in the homes they love. She has served as an advisory board member for Central Iowa’s Area Agency on Aging, a longtime board chair for the Walk to End Alzheimer’s, a HERO volunteer, and a former board member of Heartland Senior Services, which supports low-income aging adults through essential services like adult day programs and transportation. 

Today, Amy focuses on building scalable processes that keep individual preferences and quality outcomes at the forefront. She works closely with each location’s General Manager and admin team, ensuring that the company’s purpose — to help people age on their own terms — drives every decision. 

Her leadership is values-driven, people-first, and fueled by a simple belief:  

“Caring for people is never simple — and it may never be perfect — but our commitment to creative solutions, continual growth, and unwavering values allows us to deliver care experiences that rise far above the status quo”
