Everything we do at Home Instead Senior CareĀ® is driven by our universal mission: To enhance the lives of aging adults and their families. When our founders Paul and Lori Hogan began providing care for Paulās grandmother to help her remain at home, they envisioned a future where all people could age with greater hope and success. We strive to make that vision a reality with every life we are privileged to touch.
In February 2020, Home Instead Senior Care of Jonesboro was acquired by Paul and Ashley Fry. The Fry family has owned the Home Instead office in Conway, AR, since 2006 when it was started by Paulās dad, a former Nurse Practitioner. Paul and his wife, Ashley, purchased that business in 2018. Paul comes from a nursing background as a Registered Nurse and Ashley is a licensed Pharmacist. Given their familyās medical background, it fits with the mantra of meeting our clientsā personal needs with the utmost concern for their physical needs.
Paulās brother, Jonathan, owns the Home Instead Senior Care in Ft. Smith, AR. so this truly a family business with your familyās care in mind.
The old face of aging was the fear of getting old. The new face is hope and promise.ā The old face of aging was loneliness and isolation. The new face is companionship. The old face of aging was institutionalization.ā The new face is home. ā
āAs the Home Instead Senior Care network grew, we saw first-hand the old reality of aging. We set out to change that. Using Paul and Lori Hogan's original perspective that aging should be a time of hope and family, we focused our mission on enhancing the lives of aging adults and their families. We continue to do just that, every single day, around the world.ā Giving Back and Inspiring Change Working with seniors and their families humbles us. We canāt help but feel a sense of responsibility to give back. To truly live our mission, we give generously and serve graciously. Below are just a few of the ways we contribute to building better communities for seniors and inspiring new perspectives on aging. We encourage you to consider ways you might contribute to or benefit from these initiatives.
