Home Instead Senior Care, a non-medical senior care agency established in 2002 in Erie County, recently opened a new 5,000-square-foot facility in Erie, Pennsylvania.
The newly renovated facility is located at the former Burton Funeral Home at 3816 West Lake Road. The renovation, which took six months to complete, is now home to the 12 staff members and the company’s additional 256 employees, known as CAREGivers, who work in the field.
“We are a family owned business that takes pride in the care we provide our aging community and their families,” said Dianne Cunningham, co-owner of the agency with husband, Bob.
“Back in 2002 when I joined the company as one of the first employees, never could I have imagined the growth and the significant ways that we have impacted the Erie community,” she added.
In April 2014, the Cunninghams were recognized during the International Home Instead Senior Care 20th Anniversary Celebration in Omaha, Nebraska for the remarkable impact and growth that the local agency has experienced. Since the Cunninghams have taken over the business in late 2009, the business has grown a record-breaking 300 percent.
The agency provides non-medical care to area residents, in particular to the senior community. The care is provided in the client’s homes — wherever home is, including area nursing homes. Services provided include companionship, meal preparation, light housekeeping, errands/transportation, and personal care. Erie’s Home Instead specializes in Alzheimer’s and dementia care.
