I currently serve as a Certified Senior Advisor with Oasis Senior Advisors, helping older adults and their families navigate senior living and home care options. Before that, from June 2009 through August 2016, I worked at Home Instead of Seacoast & Southern NH as a home care consult and in administrative leadership.<br><br>Although I left the organization nearly 10 years ago, I've remained connected with the administrative team and have continued to watch the company grow. From my personal experience, local owners Lisa and Ed Ganem genuinely believe that if they take care of their employees first, exceptional client care will naturally follow. That philosophy is evident in my own personal experience and in the number of colleagues who are still with the organization a decade later.<br><br>In an industry known for high caregiver turnover, Home Instead of Seacoast & Southern NH has built a stable, experienced team by investing in its people. They continually improve their processes by embracing technology while never losing sight of what matters most—matching the right caregiver (who they call CarePros) with the right client. Their thoughtful approach, dependable scheduling, low call-out rates, and friendly, detail-oriented office staff have earned them an outstanding reputation throughout our local senior care community.<br><br>As someone who now recommends care providers professionally, I have complete confidence referring families to Home Instead. In fact, I trusted them to care for my own mother—a decision I would make again without hesitation.<br><br>And I just referred a client of mine in crisis just yesterday (during a holiday week) and they are blown away and extremely pleased with the professionalism and timely response to initiate services for dad. (Shout-out to Christine Thomson--they love you!)<br><br>Thank you to Lisa, Ed, Jen, Christine, Becky, the rest of the administrative team, and the incredible Care Pros for the difference you make every day in the lives of older adults and their families.
