Home Care Benefit 

Sheena grew up in Grafton, North Dakota, attended Grafton High School, and graduated from the University of Minnesota-Duluth with a Bachelor of Applied Science degree in Community Health Education. She also has a nursing degree from Pickens Technical College, Aurora, Colorado.

She has worked in the health field for over a decade in different specialties such as Cardiology, Endocrinology, Assisted Living, and Skilled Nursing Homes. Her love for Gerontology brought her to Home Instead five years ago. Her passion has always been serving and caring for those around her. Home Instead Senior Care allows her to make a difference every day, whether it's helping family members, a community partner we serve, or our outstanding caregivers. In addition to being an advocate for seniors, Sheena is a board member for FirstLink and West Fargo Area Community Partners.

Away from the office, she enjoys spending time with her husband, Drew, and her two children: Trew (9) and Hadley (6). The Sando family enjoys spending summers at the lake, sports, hiking, fishing, and waterparks!

​I was born and raised in Walhalla, N.D. one of six siblings. I attended Mayville state college and have worked in the financial field for 40 years. I am married and have 2 children and 4 grandchildren. I love the lake life and I am an avid vintage and antique guru. I am very excited to start this new chapter in my life, it is something I always wanted to pursue.

I grew up most of my life around the elderly, as my mother worked in a nursing home for 40 years. I took care of both my Parents, Grandfather, Aunt, and my Husbands Grandmother until their passing. And I would say that was my most rewarding achievement to date. I bring with me the best experience you could have and that is living it.

Shawntel was born and raised in Fargo, ND. She attended Fargo South High School and graduated from Lake Area Technical College with an Associate’s degree in Medical Assisting.

Shawntel has had a passion for a career in the medical field ever since she can remember. Her first work experience was in 2008 at a local nursing home, where it furthered her love for caregiving. She has also worked in both assisted living and hospital settings since this time.

Shawntel has a loveable dog, a black lab, named Bailey who enjoys her tennis ball and swimming at the lake.

During Shawntel’s free time, you can catch her spending time at her grandparent’s lake house. She also enjoys doing mission work overseas with her grandfather. So far, she has been on five mission trips throughout four different countries. She hopes to continue this work and travel for years to come.

Shawntel had the pleasure and privilege to help take care of her great-grandfather until his passing in October. She knows on a personal level just how comforting at-home services can be for a loved one and their family.  

Shawntel whole-heartedly believes that family is one of life’s greatest blessings-whether it’s those whom we share a blood line or those friends we choose to be family.

Rebekah joins our team after four years with Sanford specializing in the administrative side of durable medical equipment and home modifications.

She grew up in Yorktown, Virginia and moved to Fargo with her husband and kids in the summer of 2016, having never even visited the Midwest!

And while the beach holds a special place in her heart, she is starting to appreciate the wonderland that snow brings, but wishes it was for a few less months of the year.

When not at work, she can be found with her two daughters playing sports, tending to their plants and animals, or working on a puzzle.

Three different sports, over fifty houseplants and six animals (including a cat, a bunny, and several reptiles) keep them very busy.

She has always held a special place in her heart for long term care and can't wait to make a difference in her community by keeping our seniors safe and in their homes where they belong.
