SALEM — Home Instead is inviting the community to join in celebrating the opening of its new Salem location.

In-home care provider Home Instead will be holding a grand opening for its new location at 657 E. State St., which will “bring together caregivers, community leaders, healthcare partners, and local families to celebrate the launch of the Salem office” on Sept. 18. The ceremony will kick off with a presentation of colors by a veteran color guard at 9:45 a.m., “honoring both community service and the spirit of compassion at the heart of Home Instead’s mission” and will also feature a ribbon cutting by the Salem Area Chamber of Commerce at 10 a.m.

“We believe that care is more than a service — it’s a relationship,” Director of Client Care Michelle Farmer said in a press release. “Our new office is not just about growth for Home Instead; it’s about strengthening our community by supporting those who have given us so much.”

This new location will bring Home Instead’s proven care model, which has been developed and refined over the course of its more than two decades “serving families in Trumbull, Mahoning, Lorain, and Cuyahoga counties — to the residents of Columbiana County and surrounding communities” and bring greater access to the “professional caregivers, personalized care plans, and locally based support that have made Home Instead a household name across Northeast Ohio.”

Home Instead has grown into a network serving thousands of seniors’ home healthcare needs across northeast Ohio since first opening its doors over 20 years ago and its expansion into Salem “reflects both the organization’s continued growth and its commitment to meeting the evolving needs of aging adults and their families.”

“Our mission has always been to help older adults live safely, independently, and with dignity in the place they call home,” Owner of Home Instead Northeast Ohio Margie Orth said. “We’ve seen firsthand how compassionate, reliable care changes lives — not only for seniors, but also for their families. Opening our doors in Salem is both a privilege and a promise to bring that same level of service, professionalism, and heartfelt support to this community.”

That commitment to compassionate, reliable, dignified care is reflective of Home Instead’s caregiver training and support program which sees employee “participate in comprehensive orientation and ongoing education designed to ensure quality care across every aspect of service” ranging from “personal care and companionship to specialized training in Alzheimer’s and dementia support.”

“Education is at the heart of our success,” Recruitment and Marketing Coordinator Paul Satterlee said. “We invest in every caregiver, so they feel equipped, valued, and inspired to deliver exceptional care. Families who turn to us can trust that their loved ones are in skilled and compassionate hands.”

Home Instead proudly partners with several organizations which expand access to trusted medical care and resources for seniors and their families and are “especially honored to serve as a veteran provider” to help them access programs like the Homemaker and Home Health Aide Program and the Veteran Aid and Attendance Benefit. Home Instead also works with “the Alzheimer’s Association, HFC Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care Grant, and the Benjamin Rose Guide Program to offer funding solutions, grant opportunities, and essential support for families navigating care.”

“Our commitment is to be a reliable place families can turn for trustworthy information, resources, and compassionate care solutions,” Home Instead Client Care and Marketing Coordinator Kristin Huzyak said.

In addition to these funding organizations Home Instead also “supports local nonprofits in our community, including Patriot Cares, Senior Support Action Group, and Yellow Brick Place.”

“It is truly an honor to support programs that provide essential services such as food, durable medical equipment, cancer support, and resources, as well as transportation and companionship for those in need,” Home Instead Community Resource Liaison Viki Stoops said.
