Meet Our Team

​Welcome,

We are Franchise Owners Candy and Kevin Diercks. After working with clients everyday in the insurance business, Candy soon recognized the growing need for in home care for aging adults. We were introduced to Home Instead Senior Care in early 2006 by family who were franchise owners of the Quad Cities Office. We immediately fell in love with the Home Instead's passion and desire to be your trusted in-home care agency, and their commitment to helping your family keep your aging mother, father, grandparents or friends in their home as they grow older.

Since Opening our doors in January of 2007 we strive to providing the best caregivers and be the most trusted source of companionship, medication reminders, personal cares and in-home care for seniors in our service area of Black Hawk, Bremer, Grundy, Butler, Buchanan and Fayette Counties.

We greatly appreciate you viewing our website and would love to be the Company you entrust taking care of you or your loved ones.

Sincerely,

Candy & Kevin
