Carter Prescott received his BS in accounting in 2006 and has his MBA from the University of La Verne with a concentration in Management and Leadership in 2018. Carter has over 20 years of finance, business management and strategic planning experience.

Carter has led the successful implementation of several critical multi-million dollar projects for SCE and has also worked for companies such as Toyota Motor Sales USA, Ogilvy Public Relations Worldwide and TicketMaster, LLC.

For as long as he can remember, Carter has always had a strong affinity for seniors. Growing up being really close to his Grandmother, Betty Ann, he spent much of his childhood with her. Since her passing in 2003, Carter has dreamed of making a career change that would enable him to make a difference in seniors' lives. When Carter & Greg found an opportunity with Home Instead Senior Care, they knew​​ that it was the right company for them as the values and guiding principals were closely aligned to them personally. Currently acting in an advisory role, Carter provides his leadership and guidance in several areas including overseeing the business ​​financial operations.

Dr. Gregorio V. Sanchez Jr. received his BS in Chemistry from the California Polytechnic University at Pomona in 2001 and his Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Southern California in 2006. Since graduating Greg has worked in the pharmaceutical industry playing a key role in bringing several therapeutic drug products to market.

For a period of time as a young adult, he lived with his maternal grandparents acting as their caregiver while continuing his education. The time he spent with them and their friends, ​provided him with insight and an appreciation for the needs of the senior community. It was only natural when an opportunity presented itself to purchase a Home Instead Senior Care franchise, he jumped at it. Greg is the Director of Home Instead Senior Care Pasadena, responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations and as well as striving to meet our long-term strategy of becoming the "platinum" home care provider in the San Gabriel Valley.
