Caregiver Opportunity with Home Instead Nanaimo

Caregiver Opportunity with Home Instead Nanaimo

Home Instead was established in 1994 by Paul and Lori Hogan in Omaha, Nebraska. The inspiration for the company stemmed from their personal experience caring for Paul’s 90-year-old grandmother, who thrived for an additional decade after receiving personalized, in-home care. This family-centered approach became the foundation of Home Instead’s mission to provide compassionate, high-quality care to seniors worldwide.

In August 2021, Home Instead was acquired by Honor, a company dedicated to revolutionizing the care of older adults. This partnership combined Honor’s technological expertise with Home Instead’s relationship-led home care model, aiming to expand the world’s capacity to care for seniors.

Despite the change in ownership, Home Instead continues to operate under its established brand, maintaining its commitment to personalized senior care.

The Nanaimo, British Columbia franchise of Home Instead is independently owned and operated by Melissa, who serves as the Owner and Director of Client Care. With a strong commitment to exceeding expectations in home care, Melissa leads a dedicated team focused on providing exceptional service to seniors in the Nanaimo area.
