Meet Our Team

We became the new co-owners of Home Instead in January of 2022 after purchasing the business from Joe’s parents who opened the doors in the summer of 2005. Joe joined his parents in the very beginning, learning every aspect of the home care business and learning each role along the way and then became a co-owner in 2012.

Joe graduated from Penn State University in 1996 and was the superintendent of a private country club in Connecticut before joining the team in 2005.  He’s worn all the hats at Home Instead and today he especially enjoys taking service inquiries and meeting all the new families when they are signing up for home care.

Christine is also a graduate of Penn State University in 1994 and brings over two decades of service management experience and joined the family business in 2014.  Christine oversees all daily operations and supports the entire team.

Together we tell our team “We want to be a resource for seniors and the families we work with and prescribe a professional solution so they or their loved one(s) can remain at home for as long as possible”.  And our daily mission is to honor God in all that we do and being the trusted leaders providing quality care with heart in your home.
