Home Instead Senior Care

Every day, our office hears stories from our CAREGivers about their clients and the relationships they have with them, that make being a CAREGiver such a rewarding profession. We've asked some of them why they came to work for Home Instead. Here's CAREGiver Laurie F's answer: My mother always told me I should have been a nurse because of my caring ways. After retirement I figured I would put my caring ways to use. I started at Home Instead in late January 2021 and love it. I... like putting smiles on faces and helping families in need. I was unable to attend church on Easter this year as it was full, so I figured I would take a shift in the morning -the time I would be in church. I am so happy I did it. I met the most wonderful man and his wife and was able to assist her in getting him ready to go to brunch with his family. I truthfully believe my father is above guiding me every day to assist those in need. A little patience doesn't hurt either . Thank YOU, Laurie, for choosing Home Instead - we are so incredibly lucky to have you!! Please go to homeinstead.com/341 for more information about becoming part of our team!
