Vincent Altruda, Executive Director & Owner
Vin Altruda purchased the South Grand Rapids franchise of Home Instead in January 2018. Vin brings a wealth of management and team building experience with him. Previously, he was the CEO of Espresso Royale in Ann Arbor and has held various senior management positions, including the title of Worldwide President at Borders Books & Music. Vin has carefully curated the 622 Home Instead Family, Foundations, and Values because he is passionate about caring for others and doing the best he can for our community. He feels that his work at Home Instead honors his late parents and their choice to remain home during their final years.
Vin is the proud father of five children. He enjoys being with his family, raising his two teenage boys, spending time outside, and cheering for the Michigan Wolverines and New York Yankees
Joyce VanDinther, Client Care Coordinator
Joyce VanDinther joined our 622 Home Instead Family in August 2012. Joyce accepted her position of Client Care Coordinator. She is responsible for assessing, accepting, and managing each Client’s care once they have decided that Home Instead is best for their individual needs! Joyce worked as a CAREGiver before becoming the Client Care Coordinator where she currently excels. Her favorite part of client care is working with the wide variety of clients and their families to create an individualized care plan for each client, allowing the client to stay in their own home while optimizing the quality of life no matter the stage of life they are in. Joyce worked formerly as a nurse in home care, as well as a volunteer at Raybrook Manor. She graduated Calvin College with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing.
Joyce is the proud mom of three children and enjoys spending as much time with them and her husband that she can! She loves being outside, especially for running, and tries to run one marathon per month.
