Meet Our Team

Betty was with Case Western Reserve University (CWRU), where she was an integral part of the team that grew their Executive M.B.A. program in the 1980’s. Betty learned about the opportunity at Home Instead in the mid-1990’s. To many people, the concept of non-medical help for seniors in their own home seemed odd. Betty was quick to recognize the need for such services and became one of the first owners of a Home Instead Senior Care franchise in the United States.

Betty’s husband, Dr. David A. Bowers (Dave), was diagnosed with Parkinson’s and her journey with Dave led Betty to decide to sell the successful business she had built from the ground up. Betty chose to transfer leadership of Home Instead to her daughter Jeannie and son-in-law Scott. Scott and Jeannie continue today to operate Home Instead Senior Care with Betty’s vision and passion.

Sadly, Dave passed away in 2007. His presence in our lives was a true blessing and he continues to be missed.

Betty feels passionate about our motto, “To Us It’s Personal,” which is why she has continued her involvement with Home Instead. Until 2011, she served on the board of the Home Instead Senior Care Foundation.

Scott completed his undergrad at Ohio University majoring in Accounting and was in the National Honor Society. He then began a career in the insurance industry starting in Columbus and became involved with claims litigation in Cleveland. He completed his M.B.A. at John Carroll University in 1999. Scott began his work with Home Instead as Director of Operations in 2001. He has completed Home Instead's corporate training as well as Home Instead's award-winning Alzheimer’s training program. Scott received Certified Senior Advisor (CSA) distinction in 2005.

Scott has a passion for exceeding expectations for each client and their family. He has learned so much from the seniors he has worked with and has valued the time he spent with clients and their families.

Jeannie’s undergraduate and graduate degree (M.B.A.) are both from CWRU. She began her career as an intern with IBM in Cleveland and continued there in marketing after her graduation. In addition to her start with IBM, Jeannie continued in marketing & sales positions with other companies before starting her family. Scott and Jeannie have two daughters and a son.

Both Scott and Jeannie embrace the Home Instead's motto, “To Us It’s Personal” as Jeannie’s mom, the local founder of Home Instead, has Alzheimer’s. Their goal is to provide a family-friendly workplace where everyone works to make sure each of us are doing all we can to improve the quality of life for our clients.

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 General Manager, 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.
