Andrew Clifford, Owner
Local Home Instead Senior Care owner, Andrew Clifford, takes great pride in providing the highest quality of home care service to clients and family members in the New Haven County area.
Andrew's passion for helping seniors began at an early age, assisting his grandparents who lived a couple of blocks away from his childhood home in Hamden. Long before Home Instead Senior Care, it was through the collective efforts of the family that they were able to stay at home—the only place they wanted to be.
Andrew is also very involved with various community and industry organizations whose mission it is to keep seniors safe and independent at home. When not working, Andrew likes to spend his time playing golf, training and working on various DIY projects.
