Brenda Mellor, CDP, CNA, HHA, Director of Operations
Brenda has been with Home Instead since 2013, first as Staff Coordinator and more recently as Director of Operations. With years of Home Health Aid experience, having cared for her own parents, and her previous work as a Certified Nursing Assistant at New England Sinai Hospital in Stoughton, Brenda understands the importance of seniors having a voice in their own care whenever possible, and the need for an advocate when they are unable to speak for themselves. With a genuine love for seniors, Brenda strives to ensure that the care provided by Home Instead is nothing short of wonderful.
Having recently become a Certified Dementia Practitioner, Brenda aims to help educate the public on Alzheimer’s and other dementias.
