Theresa is a natural fit for Home Instead Senior Care. Experience in the nursing home industry has given her a tremendous background in caring for seniors but even more than that, Theresa truly cares about seniors and their families and uses her experience to put everyone at ease

Theresa has many, many stories to tell about how her work has made a difference in the lives of others. Some of her favorite stories revolve around how she and the staff of Home Instead have been able to create peace of mind for families that live far from their senior.

In particular, a daughter called Home Instead from California about arranging care for her father in Florida. Her dad was beginning to show t he signs of Alzheimer's disease and having balance and continence issues which created unease and worry about his safety. Theresa was able to find a Caregiver that was a perfect match (they were both musicians, and he had not lost his musical abilities). With a compatible companion to see to her dad's everyday needs and regular communication from Theresa, the daughter was able to rest easy that her dad was in capable, caring hands.

"This is the wonderful part about my job", Theresa says, "special Caregivers can create peace and hope for seniors and their families and make the winding down of a life a memorable and positive experience".

Kellee joined the Home Instead team as a Registered Nurse and Community Educator in 2021, where she oversees Caregiver Training and reviews client’s CarePlans. Her background includes EMT, MA, HHA, CNA, LPN, and RN as a Cardiac, ICU, Medical/Surgical, and Home Health Care Nurse. She holds a Bachelor’s of Nursing degree from the University of Central Florida.

Kellee has lived in Volusia County nearly all her life. She has 2 daughters. One lives in North Carolina and the other in California. Both are going to college to pursue degrees in Environmental Science and Architecture. Her youngest daughter has just married a Marine and plans to travel the world. Kellee has 3 grand dogs that she doesn’t get to see much anymore and misses terribly. She enjoys being outdoors, the river, seafood, audiobooks and hanging with friends and family.

Kellee has known since she was a child that her calling was to be in the medical field. From the time she knew what a doctor was she always wanted to be one, but believes God put her on the nursing path for a reason. Kellee is very excited to have the opportunity to teach people skills that can give them confidence in helping to care for others and provide them with the opportunity to pursue a career that is truly rewarding.

“I’m not sure if this job was created for me, or if I was created for this job.” Obviously, Kim loves her role as Client Care Manager at Home Instead Senior Care! She truly enjoys seeing her clients bloom under the care of their Caregivers and her own watchful eye. Kim has seen many isolated seniors gain a whole new world of opportunity and activity with the support and relationships that are created when that perfect match of Caregiver and senior happens!

As a part of the sandwich generation – raising children and helping an aging parent – Kim sees firsthand what families encounter in trying to manage their days. She relocated to Florida to be close and available to her mom after her father passed away from frontal lobe dementia. Her son is attending college here in Daytona and her daughter is out-of-state. She came to us from a sister Home Instead Senior Care office in Pennsylvania, where she also served as Client Care Coordinator. Kim also has a background in counseling and assisting people going through major life transitions.

Kim finds the reward of her hard work in seeing her father’s generation aging, with dignity, in their own homes with the comfort and hope found in a supportive relationship with their families and Caregiver.

"I have so many wonderful memories of my Great Grandmother and my Grandma and Grandpap! Spending time at their home for Sunday dinners and having sleep-overs with Grandma and getting up and helping with breakfast. Working here at Home Instead Senior Care, hopefully, will give that one person, just one more memory, of spending time with the elderly memebers of their family."

"There is so much that we can learn, just by talking to and listening to the senior members of our family. Working at Home Instead has given me the opportunity to help families keep their parents and grandparents with them at home, instead of a facility, for a little while longer!"

Christine has worked in the customer service profession for her entire career. At the age of 17 years, Christine's first job was as a server for Pizza Hut. In this position, she was in contact with people of all ages. Years later, Christine worked for an Olan Mills Photography Studio as a photographer. Again, all ages would come through the door, but the emphasis was on the children and documenting their "growing-up". Christine continued with her photography career when she became a wedding photographer. For 15 years she captured the smiles and tears that happen during this happy occasion. Again, Christine worked with all ages trying to capture the perfect family portraits. It's a natural progression to be working with the senior population now. To have the opportunity to give familied a few more years with mom and dad in the home....making one more memory, taking one more pictures and giving one more hug.

Hi, my name is Megan. I am a Schedule Coordinator here at Home Instead. My career background is in Human Services. I have worked and managed homes with the developmentally disabled. I have worked and managed homes for adolescent boys. Until recently, I have been a substance abuse counselor. My career path took a turn towards our elders after my husband and I moved in my 99 year old Grandma and took care of her for 3 years. After she passed, we moved to sunny Florida from Massachusetts and I decided that Home Instead is the perfect place for me to continue on this new path of helping our elders.

Chris has a background in customer service. Having previously worked for Home Instead in Pennsylvania as a receptionist, she is excited to be back to working for Home Instead after picking up additional experience working in quality assurance and management. Having relocated to Florida in 2017 to be able to help her grandmother, she knows how important it is to have help with the little things to be able to focus on enjoying the company of family. In her free time she enjoys baking, reading, knitting and hiking.
