Meet Our Team

​John and Kathleen have owned and operated the Home Instead Senior Care of Minneapolis since April of 2008. He attended the University of Minnesota and has over 25 years of experience in marketing and management. John oversees the day to day operations that require a high level of communication with clients, Caregivers and office staff.

"As a franchise owner, providing a high quality service in our community is my commitment to our clients. Hearing the great stories from our Caregivers about the difference they make each day to assist our clients in staying independent, and their family members knowing they are safe when they cannot be there."

Kathleen is the CFO for our franchise with a bachelors degree from the University of Minnesota and a Masters from St Thomas University.

​"It is personal to me because I can relate to our clients and their families. I know what it is like to want to be there and do more for an aging parent, while at the same time manage my own family and career."

Jessica plays a key role here at Home Instead , as our General Manager she
oversees day to day operations, ensuring that Home Instead provides
industry leading care with a professional, compassionate and client
centered approach. Her love of caring for others started when she was
quite young, while working in a group home with developmentally challenged
young adults, which sparked her love for caregiving and led her to Nursing
school.

Jessica then spent many years in cardiac acute care settings before moving
into home care.

She has spent the last 15 years in Care Coordination, Staffing, overseeing
Client Services, and Recruitment.

"I want our clients and families to have absolute trust in the Care
Professionals we send into their homes. To know they are in good hands,
with highly qualified and professional caregivers.

To know that we have been selective in finding the special someone to be
there in their time of need is of utmost importance to us”

​Deanna came to Home Instead with an extensive background in customer service. Her experience within Assisted Living both as the Concierge greeting residents and visitors, as well as managing staffing for employees within multiple care environments allows her to successfully build relationships with our clientele and their families meeting the needs of the client, and ensuring Caregiver connections are successful.

It's personal to me because I can relate to clients and their families. I had a Grandmother in a nursing home and seeing how she was loved and the compassion that was given to her while caring for her is why I know I wanted to do the same thing for clients and their families.

With over a decade of experience in the Senior Care Network, Jen is a
dedicated leader known for her supportive and empowering approach.

Her commitment to providing families and professionals with the tools and
knowledge to make informed decisions is deeply personal.

Having a grandmother who receives daily care, has given Jen a profound
appreciation for the relief that comes from having trusted, compassionate
professionals in the industry.
