Maggie is the Regional Manager for Home Helpers’ Lehigh Valley office

Maggie states that her relationship with her grandmother is what put her on the path to work with older adults in the capacity of a social worker. “I was always blessed with remarkable role models, and found several social workers to learn from, and emulate. I cannot imagine doing anything else as a career. My previous work experience was in a long-term care setting, working directly with residents suffering with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia, and supporting their families. I later worked with residents living on the independent living side of a senior living community, focused on successfully helping older adults to age in place.

My work as the Regional Manager at Home Helpers has brought those worlds together. I really enjoy working with our families and helping to continue to provide education and options as they navigate the aging cycle. Every day we are working with the greatest generation of selfless, gifted, talented, dedicated and proud older adults. We have been given a chance to improve their quality of life. That is a gift, and one I want to take very good care of. Our greatest asset internally is the team of dedicated and committed professionals who work at Home Helpers. We are extraordinary in our passion for service excellence and support each other every day.”

When she is not working, Maggie looks forward to the time she is able to spend with her husband and two grown sons and daughter in law. They adore their Chocolate Labrador and all enjoy family vacations and “Family Days” set aside for adventures, such as biking and kayaking. She enjoys cooking and entertaining, being outside all year, travelling and the beach whenever possible. Maggie volunteers her time to the Children’s Home in Easton for special events and as a partner in the Birthday Cake Brigade, to Arts Quest in Bethlehem for Musikfest and Celtic Fest. She has been a volunteer for 17 years with the Alzheimer’s Association, raising funds and awareness for the National Walk to End Alzheimer’s, speaking at educational programs and community requests, and as a facilitator for caregiver support groups.

Melony is a Client Care Coordinator/Field Support Nurse for Home Helpers, serving the Lehigh Valley.  Melony is a Registered Nurse who earned her degree from NCC in Bethlehem.

According to Melony, nursing has always been her passion…”I always knew that it was what I was meant to do!  

My past work has been in hospital-based settings which include a Neurological floor, a shift supervisor on a subacute medical surgical floor, a telemetry floor, a short procedure unit for pain management, and several Continuing Care Retirement Communities The best part of what I do in my role with Home Helpers is serving older adults and supporting them to feel as comfortable and safe as possible. It is quite an honor to hear about their lives, because every detail they share is what has shaped them as a person.   It is both humbling and amazing to be a part of those moments.   I cherish the relationships we build with our clients, their family members and our caregivers.  It is so fulfilling to work for Home Helpers and make a difference each day in our community. We truly do enable older adults to live as independently as possible, wherever they call home.”

Melony’s hobbies include cooking, hiking, swimming, kayaking, skiing, and spending time with her husband, Bill, and three children Bryanne, Nathan, and Olivia, and two dogs, Gracie and Phoebe.  Her family enjoys volunteering in the community with clothing drives and special events to feed those less fortunate.
