Home Care Benefit 

​Karen, along with her husband, Paul, is a new franchise owner in Tarzana, California. As a physical therapist, Karen worked in a hospital setting with stroke, cancer, joint and heart failure patients. She transitioned into home health and saw patients in a new light–in their comfort zone, in their own clothes and surrounded by the people they love. It was an eye-opening experience and one that made her excited to start the Home Instead journey with Paul. Her other passions include swimming and skiing.

​Paul, along with his wife, Karen, is a new franchise owner in Tarzana, California. Paul wore many hats in his career, starting out as a professional musician and songwriter, working in sales, and most recently, serving as a senior sales manager, office manager and customer service manager for a nationwide supply company. He and Karen wanted to explore home care and chose Home Instead due to its reputation. Paul still enjoys music and writes, sings and performs with a local band. He has a passion for baseball and loves spending time with his wife and two daughters.

​Lenease Harper has an extensive background that ranges from being a billing and collections supervisor, to being a financial counselor and medical billing specialist. She’s used to wearing many hats and that’s exactly why she is such a valuable addition to the Encino / Tarzana Home Instead Team! In addition to being the office manager, she will also assist in caregiver scheduling as well as receptionist duties. In her spare time she loves reading mystery novels, trying new exciting restaurants, and taking long walks with her dog, Parker.
