Meet Our Team

Paul and Sherry, Franchise Owners of Home Instead, Honolulu since 2009 have always had a passion for helping people. Part of this passion stemmed from Sherry visiting her grandfather in a nursing home which was an eye-opening experience.

While the deterioration of her grandfather's health required full-time care in a nursing home, many of the other residents of the center where her grandfather lived seemed out of place. They could easily have lived on their own - with just a little extra help.

Paul and Sherry vowed to help people like these avoid the confines of a nursing home. They found a way by opening a franchise of Home Instead.

Learn how Paul and Sherry can help you find the in-home care your family needs in Honolulu, HI.
