Owner of Home Instead Senior Care, Birmingham, Michigan since 1999, Tina Rowley is a registered nurse.  Prior to her present work, Tina developed a role as a project manager for nursing at St. Joseph Mercy Oakland.  Her work revolved around the elder population and the need for better understanding, by all professionals, of the elder person's unique needs and care.  She put into place specialized protocols to improve the care of the hospitalized elderly.  This information has proven invaluable in her present work as the owner of a home care company that provides assistance to seniors.  The assistance in activities of daily living and companionship, help seniors remain in the comfort and familiar surroundings of their home.

"I have a passion for assisting seniors and their family caregivers in having an improved quality of life.  Even though I am not as much hands on as in the first few years of business, I still keep close touch with who our clients are, how they are doing, and the quality of our staff.  It is important to me for Home Instead Senior Care to provide physical, mental, and spiritual support."

Tina knows Home Instead Senior Care is a great company because, "We care and we manage care to bring the safest, most comfortable, companionable care, quality and comfort into the lives of seniors who require assistance."
