Home Care Benefit 

Kristin Dahlquist, DSW, MPH is the owner and President of the Home Instead that serves, Denver, Aurora, Littleton, Lakewood, Centennial and the surrounding areas. 

Kristin is deeply committed to improving the lives of seniors both locally and nationally. In addition to her experience at several Home Instead franchises, she also worked at the Alzheimer's Association and served as her district's delegate to lobby in Washington, DC for funding for families and research. Personally, Kristin has known Home Instead since it's founding in 1994 - her family became the third family served by Home Instead for her great Aunt Emily. This first hand experience was the catalyst for the dedication she feels to change the face of aging, and change the way we care for our parents here in Colorado. 

She earned a Master's in Public Health from The Ohio State University and her Doctorate in Social Work from the University of Southern California. 

Robert is the co-owner and Vice President for a company that means a lot to him. His great-aunt Emily Dahlquist was the third Home Instead client in the organization's history in 1994. A firm believer in supporting our loved one's wishes to age in place, he ensured both of his parents were granted that same wish.

Robert brings decades of public service and corporate human resources experience to Home Instead, and believes that each of our team members and Professional CAREGivers have unlimited potential to continue to change the face of aging and remain the most trusted source of home care in the world.

Robert stays busy with three wonderful kids and five grandchildren. When he gets the time, he can be found trying new Colorado golf courses with his brother Bill and daughter Kristin.

Mary has been with the company 18 years and leads the team of individuals who are responsible for ensuring each family and each CAREGiver has an unmatched experience with Home Instead.
