Meet Our Team

John and Stacey are the owners of the Home Instead Senior Care in New Port Richey, FL. Originally from Pennsylvania, Stacey and John love to travel with their 2 daughters, Sloane and Layne, and are both avid football and hockey fans. 

John & Stacey made a career change in 2014 and purchased the West Pasco Home Instead office, in an effort to live a more rewarding life. The Home Instead journey has been just that, as they advocate for seniors to live well & independently. Their daughters are involved in the family business and you might find them helping in the office or volunteering at a community event. Being home, being well & having family near are all important pieces of their life puzzle.

Camille has been in healthcare for 37+ years and is the Home Instead Office Administrator. In addition to her administrative duties, Camille serves as the Be A Santa To A Senior Coordinator for the West Pasco area. She is originally from the Buffalo, NY area and has been married to her husband, Jack, who is our resident handyman, since 1976. Together, they have 2 children and 2 granddaughters and enjoy their free time with family. Camille and Jack are very involved in our community and you might find them volunteering or helping out a neighbor.

Nicole, who has been working in home care for over 10 years, came to us as a caregiver and quickly got promoted to service coordinator due to her amazing ability to interact with both clients and caregivers.  Her dedication to helping seniors stems from past experiences with her own family taking care of her parents. Nicole strives to keep the best caregivers matched to ensure both continuity and excellence of care. “My position gives me the best of both worlds. I have formed caring relations with both clients and Care Pros. I love my position with Home Instead, my team is family”. In her free time, Nicole loves listening to music and being outdoors with her boyfriend.

Tai, who joined our team in 2022, has worked in the recruitment industry for most of the last decade having experience in talent marketing, human resources, sourcing and commercial recruiting at a variety of levels. She has loved her experience in home care and feels that the Home Instead team has become like a family to her.  As a recruiter, Tai loves getting to talk with a variety of people every day and getting to know them, their background, and their interests. “There’s no better feeling than making a job offer to someone who is super excited to receive it”. One of her favorite parts of recruiting is when she follows up with our candidate’s once they have gained some experience.  Tai loves to hear that new Care Pros are enjoying their newfound career path and they are not only excelling at it but loving it.  In her leisure time Tai loves shopping to decorate her home and spending time with her husband and children.  

Maria, who has worked in the medical field for 22 years, joined our team in 2022 as a Care Pro and quickly got promoted to client care coordinator, a position she held with other home care agencies during the course of her career. Born in Portugal, Maria moved to Florida with her husband in 2018 after spending much of her adult life in Massachusetts. She found her passion for caring for the elderly early in her career after taking care of her grandparents and then her parents. Maria’s clients motivate her to strive for excellence and be the most enthusiastic advocate for their care.  “Home Instead has advanced my dedication to helping seniors remain in their homes with their families and my extended family has become my Home Instead team members”.  Maria enjoys long walks with her husband and spending time with her family of 2 adult children and one adorable granddaughter.
