Home Instead Naperville, IL

🎉Please join us in congratulating and thanking Colleen McGuinn as she celebrates her 20th anniversary with Home Instead! For the last 20 years, Colleen has dedicated herself to enhancing the lives of aging adults and their families. When her own father became ill, Colleen quit her job in a sales and marketing career to become the primary family caregiver. Colleen found this role so rewarding that she took a part-time job as a caregiver with Home Instead. Colleen was quickly promoted to the Client Care team for 7 years. She received her certification as a Certified Senior Advisor in 2010. Colleen was promoted to Home Care Consultant in June 2016. In 2017, Colleen was again promoted to lead the team of Client Care Managers. In 2021, she became General Manager of the Itasca Home Instead before being promoted to President of the Fox River Valley location in 2023! She ensures that families receive the care they need to achieve their goals. Colleen, we hope you know the tremendous impact you have made on the Home Instead family and all of the clients we serve. Thank you for your service and dedication! #20Years #HomeInstead #WorkAnniversary
