Matt & Alyssa Cogdill - Owners
Prior to joining Home Instead, I served as a Vice President with Lexington Medical Center in Lexington, South Carolina. My wife, Alyssa, currently works as a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner with Prisma Health in Columbia. We were both raised in Lexington and feel called to serve the people of the Midlands. After many years working in hospital settings, we both felt the need to work with seniors and loved ones in a way that honors not just our clients, their families, but also our amazing CAREGivers.

Sarah Taylor - Human Resources Manager
I am a native of Baton Rouge, Louisiana who fell in love with the Columbia area when my family moved here in 2019. After joining Home Instead, I realized what an honor and opportunity I had to serve the aging adults in this community. As a child and teenager, I gravitated each Sunday at church to the elderly for a hug, a smile, and to find out how their week had gone. Joining the Home Instead Team felt like a perfect fit for me. In my free time I love to cook a good Gumbo or Jambalaya and spend time with my husband and children on the Lake.

Amberle Nickas - Billing Coordinator
As the HR Coordinator here at Home Instead I recruit, interview, and hire the CAREGivers who work for us. I’m originally from Pennsylvania but have lived here in South Carolina for the past 3 years. During the summers in college, I worked at a camp for adults and kids with varying disabilities and I loved caring for the people I met there. So, after college I became a certified nursing assistant and worked in a skilled nursing facility for almost 2 years before going back to school. I love working on finding the best CAREGivers for our clients! My passions include science and history and I love reading, listening to podcasts, and making art.

Ruby Hunt - Lead Care Professional
I became a Care Pro for Home Instead in 2022 after returning to South Carolina from New Orleans, Louisiana, to start my family. In 2024, I moved into our home office to become a Lead Care Pro, and I can't wait to advance up the ranks. I was born in South Carolina and raised in Florida, so I am used to adapting to new situations. My life's passion is caring for others, whether it's assisting individuals when they're most vulnerable, greeting you in the comfort of your own home to help you transition to your new Care Pro, or simply being a nice voice on the phone to help you change your schedules. I adore serving the people of the Midlands! In my spare time, you can find me visiting local foodie spots, parks, comic conventions, and traveling as much as possible with my husband and our two children.
