Meet Our Team

After many years of entrepreneurship in different industries, Bill was looking to find a place where he can make a difference in people’s lives. Having dealt with issues with seniors in his own family and their care during declining years, senior care hits close to home. That's why his mission with Home Instead Senior Care fuels his passion to bring about the best in care to Melrose and the surrounding communities.

Bill is married, has two children and a grandchild. He is also active with hobbies consisting of skiing, running, cycling, and is involved in multiple charities.

Judy, Bill's wife, is pleased to join the home office staff as part of the management team, assisting in staffing coordination, customer service, and administrative support. She and Bill grew up together in a small town in MA and graduated in the same high school year. After high school, Judy attended undergraduate and graduate school at the University of Pennsylvania where she earned degrees in English, French, and a Masters in Secondary Education. After a 30-year career in public education as a middle and high school French, Spanish and English teacher, she has transitioned into her current role at Home Instead. Like so many others, Judy had a personal experience with the wonderful 24/7 care her father received at home with compassionate, competent caregivers for his mobility issues. "To us, it's personal" is our company motto to which we aspire with everything we do.
