Not Your Average Home Health Care Provider

We wanted to learn all about Home Instead Senior Care of Portsmouth and its impressive online reputation, so we took a few minutes to talk with the Chief Development Officer, Jamie Thurston.

The first question we had for Jamie was what is it that sets Home Instead Senior Care of Portsmouth apart from their competition in New Hampshire. Here’s Jamie’s response:

“Administratively, our business ethics, company-wide compassion and belief in our mission translate into all aspects of our care. We deliver on the services that we promise families upfront, which is highly valued by our clients and employees. Lisa and Ed Ganem are exceptional owners. They run the operation like a small, family-owned business, so the personal touch is always there.”

Jamie attributes Home Instead Senior Care of Portsmouth’s strong online reputation to their 17 years in business and the fact that they hire the best caregivers after conducting background checks and extensive, nurse-supervised training. She added:
