Meet Our Team

A couple years back while my grandmother was aging and suffering through a fall and the onset of dementia, I had a firsthand look at the strain caring for an aging senior can have on their loved ones. Even though my grandmother had 10 kids I could still see how difficult it was to be able to adequately provide the care she needed. During my 13 years with Home Instead Senior Care I have seen firsthand the difference a CAREGiver could have had to enable my grandmother to age safer and more comfortably in her home where she was comfortable. Through Home Instead Senior Care I look forward to now having the opportunity to help families in the Brantford, Paris, Simcoe, Delhi, Port Dover, Woodstock, and Ancaster area to provide the best possible care for their loved ones.

Kat comes to Home Instead Hamilton with 14 years of management experience in the customer service field. Kat always leads with her heart, and she is someone who truly believes that the universe will always give back what you put out. Kat takes the lead and shares her heart in everything she does at Home Instead.

Kat knows firsthand the struggles a family goes through with trying to find the support that they require. Kat is here for you every step of the way.

Kat immigrated with her parents, and six siblings from Europe, and didn't always have the resources they needed. Kat's goal is to make sure people are heard and get the help they require. Kat is here for you to help make managing the senior care world with Home Instead the easiest transition of your life. Through Home Instead's vision, Kat's goal is to help as many families as she can, every single day.

Growing up, Kaylyn spent a lot of time with my grandparents and really enjoyed being around them.

As they started aging, she could see the difficulties faced with everyday tasks. As she started thinking about a career for herself, Home Instead was the perfect choice. Coming from a customer service and Human Resources background, she brings with her the knowledge to help find the perfect CarePro and client connection through CarePro interviews, orientation, and training. Kaylyn looks forward to continuing to help seniors within the community.

"Everything will be All Right"

Michelle Hopper entered the senior care field in 2014 after seeking information regarding care services for her own mother. Following the passing of her father, Michelle had moved her mom from Hamilton to Paris so that she could be closer to Michelle and her family. Still, Michelle realized that it would be nice to have a "special visitor" see her mom each week as a form of friendly activity and social interaction beyond what she could give her mom as a daughter.

Michelle brought with her years of customer service experience and impressive management skills. After joining Home Instead, she became a dedicated cornerstone and "holds down the fort" while working alongside senior management.

Most recently, Michelle has moved into the role of Office Coordinator. Michelle has completed many courses to expand and sharpen her knowledge of senior care. She is fully capable of supporting a brigade of Home Instead caregivers servicing the Brantford area.

Michelle is adept at multi-tasking in her busy role, scheduling staff and speaking with families to ensure that Home Instead caregivers and families fully understand the detailed personalized service desired by each senior we serve. She is the reassuring voice for many families that "everything will be all right."

Michelle can be located in our Brantford office, our out in the community.

As for Michelle's mom, she's still going strong at 92 and remains a happy Home Instead client.
