Meet Our Team

Bob and Janet jointly own the Home Instead office based in Waukee & Ames. Their office opened in 2002 and has served the needs of Seniors in Dallas, Story, Boone, Warren, and Madison counties. Janet is a Registered Nurse with a Bachelor’s Degree from Methodist College of Nursing in Omaha, Nebraska. Bob has a business background with a Bachelor’s Degree in Agronomy from the University of Nebraska at Lincoln.

Their commitment to the people they serve is evident through their community outreach and strong desire to obtain the highest quality CAREgivers and staff. They are active in their children’s schools, Communities, Chamber of Commerce, and participate in many Community Betterment projects every year. Bob also sits on a National Advocacy team that regularly speaks to our Legislators in D.C. regarding access to care for seniors in Iowa.

Their mission is to Professionally and Compassionately help people craft their own vision of aging. Through this mission they continue to positively impact the lives of hundreds of families in Central Iowa by giving them the ability to stay independent and safe in their own homes.

Amy's primary role is to ensure that Home Instead's clients are satisfied with the service being provided, and is a valuable link to the families of these clients. She believes that everyone should have an opportunity to enjoy the freedom of aging at home. Because of her extremely close relationship with her grandmother, she recognizes the value of adding to someone's quality of life and appreciates the way companionship nourishes the spirit.

Tiffany's primary role is to manage the weekly schedules of Home Instead's clients and CAREGivers. She also acts as a valuable communicator with the families we serve. Tiffany enjoys knowing that people are safe and happy in their own homes, and she likes knowing that her job plays a small role in ensuring that safety and independence occurs every day.

Home Instead CAREGivers professionally and compassionately help clients craft their own vision of aging. They are eager to provide care and support specific to each client's unique needs. Home Instead has over two decades of experience caring for seniors and their families. In that time Home Instead Inc. has developed extensive training programs, built on research and experience, so our CAREGivers are prepared to provide the highest quality of care—the kind of care we would want for our own parents, spouse or grandparents. We understand that deciding to use outside help requires a lot of trust and humility, so Home Instead is committed to not just capable care, but compassionate care.​​​
