About Us
Malorie and David Hill, Owners
Malorie Hill, Co-Owner/C.A.O.
David Hill, Co-Owner/C.E.O.
Today their Home Instead Senior Care businesses Jax Home Health Inc., Prestige Home Care Inc., and Magnolia Home Health LLC employ close to 600 full-time and part-time employees. Theirs are among the top three largest of the Home Instead Senior Care operations, which consist of over 1,100 offices in 12 countries.
Looking for an opportunity to work together and own their own business, Dave and Malorie decided to combine their specific areas of expertise in the growing healthcare field. The Hills were impressed with the professionalism and sincerity exhibited by the Home Instead Senior Care corporate staff in Omaha, Nebraska. Thus began what has turned out to be a truly rewarding adventure of developing into one of the top three owner/operators of Home Instead Senior Care's network of franchise business owners.
Native Buckeyes David and Malorie have had their office headquarters located in Jacksonville Florida since 1997. They also have offices in Saint Augustine FL., Palm Coast FL., Mason OH., Savannah GA., and Hilton Head SC.
The Hills purchased two existing Home Instead Senior Care offices located in the suburbs of Cincinnati Ohio in 2012 to add to their three Home Instead Senior Care offices located in Northeast Florida. "We loved the idea of expanding our quality-first home care business to the state where we spent over 40 years of our lives".
Once again, the opportunity to grow Home Instead remarkable services presented itself in 2019 and the Hills added the Savannah GA territory which included Hilton Head SC and neighboring communities in Beaufort and Jasper Counties.
