Meet Our Team

James Arnold purchased this office in July of 2013 from Bob and Alison Fanelli, who have been franchise owners with Home Instead Senior Care since Sept 2002.

James came in to a well established office, serving nearly 100 seniors in the greater Montgomery and Chester counties.

Before coming to Home Instead Senior Care, James proved to be successful as a Merry Maids franchise owner. He was also an owner/operator of Comphert Homes Land Development.

James wanted to give back to the community and felt strongly that helping seniors live their lives as independently as possible in their later years was the way to go.

He looks forward to continuing in the footsteps of his predecessors and making this office a staple in the community.

Denise's background is in business management and dentistry. Her love for senior care began in 2014 when she left her lifelong career to join her brother as General Manager of his Home Instead franchise. She realized quickly this was her one true passion and purchased a franchise of her own in the latter part of 2014. In Denise's free time she enjoys family, cooking, and gardening.

Katie Selph has been with Home Instead in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, since May of 2019. She has worked in the Home Health Care Industry for over 10 years, helping seniors to remain independent in their homes, and supporting families as they navigate their way through the process of taking care of an aging loved one. She returned home to Pittsburgh, after 15 years in Atlanta, Georgia (with five of those years with Home Instead Senior Care of Gainesville). She loves to spend time with family, especially her two grandchildren, and take walks with her dog, Bentley.

Dan has been the Director of Community Outreach in Washington County and the South Hills of Allegheny County for two years. His work background includes Sales & Marketing in a local Independent Living / Personal Care community and with a local LIFE program. He and his wife have two children and two grandsons. In his spare time Dan is active in his church and officiates high school and college volleyball.

Carolynn Bestwick joined the Home Instead team in 2021 as a scheduling coordinator. She has been in the homecare setting since 2013. She is responsible for managing the caregivers’ schedules and making good caregiver matches for our seniors. Carolynn has always loved taking care of others. She spends her free time with her fiancé and their two sons. Her boys are her number one priority, and they enjoy swimming, vacationing, and playing sports.

Sharon has worked for Home Instead Senior Care since 2007. Sharon began as a CAREGiver, then moved into the role of a Staffing Coordinator, and now works as a Client Care Coordinator. She enjoys being part of a great team and touching the lives of seniors daily. "The best feeling in the world is when a prospective Client's family exhales with relief at a Care Consultation knowing we can lessen their load." Sharon's background is in Special Education, but her passion has always been seniors. As a child, two of her best friends growing up were over 80 years old. Sharon has been happily married for 31 years and is the mother to 3 adult children and her 4-year-old sweet granddaughter. Sharon has an energetic 3-year old Border Collie to keep her busy, and enjoys hosting many family parties including murder mystery dinners, costumes included!
