Cathy Dow

Owner

After Cathy acquired the franchise in November 2012, she quickly discovered it was the best decisions she ever made. Her love and passion for serving and caring for seniors is what truly drives her. With her experience at Home Instead so many things have evolved and changed and that is what is so exciting, the constant challenge to grow and adapt. Home Instead allows her to make a difference every day, whether it's helping a family in crisis, a community care partner we serve, or a wonderful caregiver. Cathy leads a team of caring individuals who help families with the many issues that involved caring for your loved ones. As an advocate and resource for families, Cathy is always pursuing education and opportunities to exceed the growing needs within our senior care community.
