​Mike manages marketing and finances for Home Instead Senior Care and as an owner, he's always available to help. He remembers getting a call late one evening from a concerned family member calling from Hawaii who had been unable to get through to her father all day. At 11pm, he was in his car on the way to the father's house when he got the call that she'd been able to get through. "It's situations like this that make you realize the difference Home Instead Senior Care can make for families. Our client's daughter was relieved to have someone locally to help and we were more than happy to provide that service."
