Meet Our Team

​Stephen Lair is proud to be returning to Aggieland as the franchise owner of Home Instead in College Station. After successfully operating three other Home Instead franchises for the last 15 years, coming back to serve BCS seniors and their families is a dream come true. In 2009, he was selected as a member of the E.A. Morris Fellowship for Emerging Leaders and has been twice chosen as one of WCHL's Hometown Hero Village Pride Award recipients. As an Eagle Scout, Stephen has always had a passion for the outdoors and is heavily involved as the scoutmaster for his local scout troop. Stephen has served as host for a variety of local events such as the Alzheimer's Walk, the National Parkinsons Foundation's Moving Day and Wreaths Across America. Each year, he coordinates several different community service campaigns such as Mission Medicine, Salute To Senior Service and Be A Santa To A Senior. Stephen is also a highly sought after speaker, singer, emcee and auctioneer. As a local expert on aging, Stephen has made appearances on Time Warner Cable News, WCHL, UNCTV, WNCN, WCHL and iHeartradio. A few years ago, Stephen and his wife, Cher, made national news when the video of their gender reveal party went viral. Their story was featured on Good Morning America, Fox and Friends, The Today Show, CNN and Inside Edition to name a few. The front page story which recounted the events in the News and Observer was the third most circulated story of 2015 and the most clicked online content in the history of all McClatchy news markets. The hubbub from the video eventually landed them a guest spot on the Ellen Show in April of 2015. They have seven remarkable sons and one daughter: Jackson, Campbell, Sawyer, Houston, Shepherd, Knox, Fisher and Ruby.

Daprina has worked in the home health field for over 18 years. After joining our Home Instead team as a CAREGiver, she transitioned into her Service Coordinator role in April of 2019. One year later, in 2020, she was promoted into the position of Service Director.

Daprina understands the importance of providing quality care to our seniors and takes pride in making sure each interaction between clients and CAREGivers is engaging and meaningful. She believes everyone can benefit from the wealth of knowledge and wisdom that can be attained by working with seniors.

Originally from New Orleans, Daprina moved when her home was hit by hurricane Katrina. After living in Virginia, she decided to move to College Station to be closer to family and has proudly called College Station home for nine years. Daprina's pride and joy are her two children Domoniqe and Diamond Taylor.

As Client Ambassador, Taylor is the hands and feet of the Home Instead administrative team. She is tasked with making sure we are not only providing exemplary care but that we are constantly working to elevate the value we offer to the families we are privileged to serve.

In addition to her work at Home Instead, Taylor is busy wife and mother who has a deep passion for helping others and serving the local community.

Kelly rejoined the Home Instead family in 2021 after time as an elementary school teacher. Kelly works behind the scenes to make sure that our financial house is in order. If you have questions about all things related to money, chances are Kelly will be involved. Kelly makes sure that invoices are sent out and processed on a timely basis. She also makes sure the caregivers are paid for all the hard work they do each day. Additionally, she also assists our families with the facilitation of their Long Term Care Insurance claims process and works to make sure our operations are compliant with all applicable rules and regulations.
