After I began working for Home Instead, I immediately felt like I was a part of the family."

Background: Hannah worked in Direct Care for over 10 years mainly with the youth and young adult population before taking time off to care for her own children.

Background: Deanna is a mother of two boys and has been living in Delaware for the last five years. Deanna was born into a military family and her life was spent moving all over the country. Even though she born in Las Vegas, NV, Deanna spent many years of her life in Fredericksburg, VA.

Why senior care? When Deanna was young, her grandmother suffered multiple health events. She started taking on the role as caregiver to her grandparents and received much knowledge about senior care during her youth. It's been ten years since the passing of both of her grandparents, and the love and connection to her grandparents is why Deanna chose to go into senior care. Deanna understands that as a community, we all must care for those who came before us.
