Debra started with Home Instead® in December 2013 as a CAREGiver and joined the office team as a Client Care Coordinator in February 2016. She is responsible for helping clients and families determine their care needs, and manage the services provided to them by our CAREGivers. Deb's main focus is ensuring that our clients' needs are met, and the client and CAREGiver are developing a positive relationship.

Married to her husband Jim they share a love for their yellow lab, Sammy. Deb was raised in Cherry, but moved away for 20 years until 2011 when she was called home to care for her Dad with cancer. She always knew she was meant to live in this area and wanted to give back to her community. Deb's inner passion is to help others. Deb enjoys spending time with her husband and family, and her favorite pastimes include walking and scrapbooking.

Deb started caregiving when she was 10 years old for an elderly neighbor woman named Toots. Toots was afraid of thunderstorms and became very anxious during a storm. Deb took the initiative to care for her and would promote a return to tranquility. For Deb, this was her starting point of a much larger calling. "To us, it's personal' relates to me on a personal level. Being a family caregiver for my Dad, I am compassionate and realize the daily struggles that our clients' families face, but also how comforting it can be to accept help from other people that care."

As the mother of three children and three grandchildren, Angela and her husband are busy watching their youngest son play college baseball, playing with their dogs Max and Casey, and spending time being Grandparents.

Angela spent twenty years in a corporate setting, yet always remembering how close she was to her grandmother, Gloria, and wanting to do something more personal to honor her memory. "I did not realize the impact my grandmother made on me until I was older and wish I would have known what a treasure the Seniors in our life really are. I had the best grandmother, so I want to BE the best grandmother."
