Care Professional Awards & Recognition
At Home Instead®, our success revolves around the work of our Care Professionals – and we make sure they know it! We celebrate Care Pros year-round through: notes of appreciation, recognition in our employee newsletter, flowers, extra time off, and even impromptu office parties.
Care Pro of the Year
This year Home Instead chose 10 Care Pros who truly stood out, demonstrating compassion and exceptional care to the older adults and families they work with. Being named a Care Pro of the Year is one of the profession’s highest honors and Home Instead’s highest accolade for our more than 100,000 Care Pros worldwide. We thank these incredible Care Pros for their dedication and service.

Standing Ovation Care Pro Recognition
A standing ovation is considered the highest form of praise and recognition, taking applause to the next level. Each quarter, we celebrate Care Pros who have gone above and beyond in their roles and lift them up with a Standing Ovation. We thank these incredible Care Pros for their dedication and service.
Home Instead Care Professional of the Year Award
Caregiver appreciation is baked into our DNA. We sincerely value the passion and talent each Care Pro brings to our mission day in and day out.
To thank our Care Pros for all the amazing things they do, we nominate a person for our national Mary Steibel Care Professional of the Year award. It’s a small way to show how thankful we are to them for demonstrating compassion and exceptional care to the seniors and families they serve.
This year, Home Instead of Sarnia has awarded Anuja M. with the 2025 Care Professional of the Year Award!

Home Instead Care Professional of the Month
Congrats to Athullya for consistently delivering exceptional care and positivity. We appreciate your dedication and the difference you make every day!
Do You Know Someone With A Caring Heart?
We all have that someone who is a natural born caregiver. If you know a friend or family member that would make an outstanding Care Pro, someone who would easily receive a standing ovation from Home Instead, please share the career opportunity - we’d love to meet them!
Coffee Hour or Continuing Education Events
Recently, we had a wonderful Coffee Hour with some of our amazing care pros.
This activity is very important for us to bond and connect with each other. Sharing stories, experiences, and a few laughs over a warm cup of coffee helped us strengthen our team spirit and foster a sense of community.
We’re grateful for these moments that bring us closer together and look forward to many more in the future!
