Home Care Benefit 

Our Home Instead Senior Care story began many years ago. I, Wynn, was searching for something meaningful, a career and journey that I was passionate about. In the late 90’s my parents were caring for Great Aunt Helena. She lived in Monroe, Michigan and my parents were living in Manitou Beach, Michigan. It was a round trip of over two hours. Living with Parkinson’s disease she was only interested in living out the rest of her life in her home residence of more than forty years. It was difficult managing and supporting her wishes, like many families face. My parents were able to help her carry out her wishes. With this experience we knew that Helena wasn’t the only one that could use some extra assistance helping her remain safe and independent in her home. We spent more than a year researching Senior Care and Home Care. We found that the Home Instead Senior Care franchise network was the best option for us and the community that we serve. We have dedicated our life and the last ten years to helping clients and families just like ours.

Jenny is our Service Coordinator. She joined HISC with years of experience in Home Health Care. She develops and assists our clients and caregivers with day-to-day and month-to-month scheduling, schedule changes and most importantly develops relationships to be able to make the right match for quality care. She enjoys having the opportunity to make a difference for Senior Citizens and their families. Jenny is a valuable resource to have on our team and is dedicated to help in any way possible.

Beth is our Home Care Consultant. She joined our team in 2020 and is excited to jump in building relationships and networking around the Greater Lansing area. What she is looking forward to the most is ensuring to both the community and our clients that HISC will always go above and beyond. Beth’s biggest priority is to share the knowledge and experience of HISC to potential clients and families so they can remain living at home as long as possible. She has the determination and compassion to make sure each family has the best experience and support while they go through a change.
