Kristin Dahlquist, DSW, MPH, Owner, President
Kristin Dahlquist, DSW, MPH is the Owner and President of Home Instead serving Denver, Aurora, Littleton, Lakewood, Centennial, Englewood, Cherry Creek, and the surrounding areas.
Kristin is deeply committed to improving the lives of seniors both locally and nationally. In addition to her experience at several Home Instead franchises, she worked at the Alzheimer's Association and served as her district's delegate to lobby in Washington, DC for funding for families and research. She created a short-film documentary to highlight the impact of memory loss on individuals living with the disease, their families, and their millennial children which premiered in Washington, DC to raise funds to find a cure for Alzheimer's Disease. Personally, Kristin has known Home Instead since its founding in 1994 - her family became the third family served by Home Instead for her great great Aunt Emily. This first-hand experience was the catalyst for the dedication she feels to change the face of aging, and change the way we care for our parents here in Colorado.
She earned her Master of Public Health degree from The Ohio State University and her Doctorate in Social Work from the University of Southern California. She currently serves on the board of the Parkinson Association of the Rockies.

Robert Dahlquist, Co-owner and Vice President
Robert is the co-owner and Vice President for a company that means a lot to him. His great-aunt Emily Dahlquist was the third Home Instead client in the organization's history in 1994. A firm believer in supporting our loved one's wishes to age in place, he ensured both of his parents were granted that same wish.
Robert brings decades of public service and corporate human resources experience to Home Instead, and believes that each of our team members and Care Professionals have unlimited potential to continue to change the face of aging and remain the most trusted source of home care in the world.
Robert stays busy with three wonderful kids and five grandchildren. When he gets the time, he can be found trying new Colorado golf courses with his brother Bill and daughter Kristin.

Why Senior Care: Being a mum of 3, as well as a daughter, gave me an insight into the needs of seniors in my community, many of whom are isolated from family and support in their homes in this beautiful location. Home Instead gives me an opportunity to reach the seniors in my community and provide care to them in their homes with a fantastic group of caregivers.

Dawn Griffith, CARE Manager
Job Responsibilities: Meets with potential Clients and their families to discuss Home Instead services, and conducts quality assurance visits with current Clients. Territory: South Fort Collins/Loveland.
Why Senior Care: My passion for seniors began as a teen while working in a long term care facility. I enjoyed hearing and sharing life experiences with seniors so much that I went on to become an activity director in a few different facilities, one of which brought me to Colorado. Since that time and with the decline of my aging parents due to Parkinson's disease, my focus has turned toward senior advocacy and resource development. I feel, oftentimes, families and seniors alike are unaware of all the services available in the community to assist in keeping them as independent as possible.
Traci Episcopo, Recruitment and Engagement Coordinator
Job Responsibilities: Recruits and markets for new Care Professionals to join the team. Interviews, Screens & Hires new Care Pro's.
Why Senior Care: My interest in serving seniors began as a young girl having multiple family members residing in nursing facilities. I am extremely close with my grandmother and have seen the struggle first hand of her needing extra assistance but also being resistant to it. I love going to work every day hoping to make a difference in the senior community and the lives of the seniors we care for. My heart is full at the end of each day.
Nancy Jones, Training Manager
Job Responsibilities: Manages the current and upcoming training programs as well as ongoing development of the CAREGivers and Staff.
Why senior care: I have always been drawn to the elderly population. I had an amazing relationship with my only living grandma. I was her oldest grandchild and loved to spend time with her. Playing cards was our favorite activity. My heart is helping the elderly be able to stay in their home.
