Home Instead CEO, Jeff Huber, told Home Health Care News, “‘We were not for sale, and that was the direction from my board,’ Huber said. ‘But Paul Hogan — [the founder and chairman] — said, ‘If there is some sort of opportunity that you think really propels our mission and vision forward, and can really enhance the way we care for people, then that’s something we should know about and you should bring it forward.’” He continued, “‘Home Instead intends to be the default setting for people who are needing to care for their aging loved one — and not just for home care help with activities of daily living,’ Huber said. ‘They’ll come to Home Instead for a variety of products, services and direction, so that they can help their aging loved one navigate the aging process in the most successful way possible.’”
