Darlethia, known to most as “Dollie”, has lived in Philadelphia all of her life. She and her husband of 34 years raised two daughters and have two grandchildren. She joined Home Instead in 2019 after 21 years of dedicated service at Abington Jefferson Health. There, Dollie had the opportunity to work in several different departments including Nursing Administration, Business Services, the Operating Room, and the Emergency Trauma Center. Her most impressionable experiences were had in the Hospice and Oncology units of the hospital. In these departments she developed a true appreciation for the trials and triumphs the patients and their families encountered. This exposure coupled with her personal experience as primary care giver to her mother, has made her very keenly aware of the challenges and stresses involved when caring for loved ones. She also knows the relief and comfort that is felt when the needs of loved ones have been met. Dollie looks forward to assisting you in your endeavors to establish care for your dear loved ones.
