Our founders, Paul and Lori Hogan, launched Home Instead in 1994 to provide care to Paul’s 90-year-old grandmother. Remarkably, after she began receiving personalized, in-home care that allowed her to age safely in the place she loved most – the family home – Grandma Manhart thrived for an additional decade!
That’s why, to us, senior care is personal. We’re passionate about Enhancing the lives of Aging Adults and their Families®.
I recently had spinal fusion surgery. I could have never made it through my recovery without the support of the staff from Home Instead. Their professional, caring, kind, conscientious, and encouraging staff was a blessing! Thank you so much!

Attention! I want to please give special recognition to Dee ❤️🙏 this nurse SAVED my day! I was walking my dog and he pulled me, making me drop my phone in the grass, at a massive park. I initially passed by her, watching her help a woman walk. Holding her hand, taking every single step with the greatest of patience and caution, peppered with love and true good care. Before my incident, I thought in my head "there's a darn good nurse there, so loving and patient, we need more of her in the world". Then when I realized my phone had fallen I was panicked. She was so nice and calm, could tell I was in crisis mode and she didn't leave her patients but she did take the time to calm me down and call my phone until I could run and find it. Nobody else would have given me the time of day, but she did. Please give her a raise, give her praise, you all are lucky to have her working for you because before I even lost my phone, my heart was filled with love and respect for her helping that woman walk with a smile on her face and love in her heart. I work in healthcare and trust me, it's not always the case. With Dee, your loved one is in amazing hands, I hope if I'm lucky enough to get old one day that I have a Dee taking care of me the way she does so lovingly and carefully with your patients. She's an amazing human and please let her know how wonderful she is

Truly appreciate the care given my brother over the last few months as he transitioned from home to assisted living. Getting started was easy and handled professionally. His caregivers were friendly and sincerely caring. Reasonable prices for stress reduction the services provides. Highly recommend.
