Sid Jay, Owner
In 2003, Sid recognized the growing need for non-medical home care for seniors. He believed Home Instead was the clear choice based on the support and quality of services. Leaving a twenty-year career in color physics and technical management, Sid started Home Instead in Concord to provide service in Cabarrus and Rowan counties. Finding and training top-quality care providers and staff was the key to becoming the leading home-care agency in the area. This and the growing need for care continues today.
