Meet Our Team

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.”

Tom grew up in Yardley, Bucks County, PA, and graduated from Pensbury High school, in Fairless Hills, Pa. Tom received his BS in Industrial Engineering from Purdue University, and later went on to earn his MBA from LaSalle University. Tom’s engineering career in medical device manufacturing had him traveling the world, working with diverse teams who were focused on operational efficiencies and supply chain logistics.

A personal family care need, however, drew him to be interested in the home care industry. Tom is passionate about assuring quality care is delivered to our clients, as he knows, first hand from his own close family members, the value of a trusted and supportive care provider in the home. Because of these personal experiences, Tom was inspired to start his own Home Helpers agency in 2006, and quickly collaborated with his neighboring franchisees, Frank Esterle and Greg Scheck, to serve the community. The three ultimately decided to combine their service areas in 2008, and serve all of Bucks County, most of Montgomery County and the Lehigh Valley.

Tom is responsible for Client relationships in Bucks and Montgomery Counties and also oversees the Lehigh Valley Regional Office. Tom and his wife, Sharon, live in Doylestown, were they raised a son and daughter.

Greg grew up in Chalfont, Bucks County, and graduated from Central Bucks West High School in Doylestown. Greg earned his CPA shortly after graduating from Shippensburg University. Greg worked for several small to medium-sized accounting firms in the region, where he gained experience in audit, tax and IT services, accounting software. Greg had several clients in the non-profit world.

Greg is the CFO for our agency and is responsible for all Financial Accounting and Reporting, tax and audit needs, Billing and Payroll, Operations Software and vendor management. He also oversees the Operations Department which includes Scheduling and HR.

Greg became involved in the home care industry along with his brother-in-law, Frank Esterle, several years after the sudden loss of Frank’s father (Greg’s father-in-law) at a young age of 60. He saw first hand the need that arises when someone experiences a sudden change. Greg has first hand experience with Home Helpers’ caregivers, as he has utilized our services on different occasions for several of his own family members, and those of close friends and neighbors.

Greg lives in Doylestown with his wife, Karen, and two dogs Lexie and Rosie. Karen is a Registered Nurse who works in cardiac care nurse at Doylestown Hospital. Greg and Karen have two adult sons.

Frank is a graduate of Central Bucks West High School, in Doylestown, having grown up in Chalfont, PA. Frank earned his BS in Hospitality Administration from Cornell University, which is where he developed his passion for the service industry. Frank’s early career was in hospitality consulting services, with large international accounting and consulting firms. Frank also gained corporate finance experience during his career with Aramark’s Healthcare Support Services Division in Philadelphia.

The inspiration for Frank’s involvement in home care services was, sadly, due to the sudden death of his father (at age 60) in 2000. This shocking loss fueled Frank’s desire to make a difference in his community, and he quickly focused on the growing need for in-home care for individuals struggling during a difficult time. In late 2003, Frank found a match in Home Helpers, and in July 2004, partnered with his brother-in-law, Greg Scheck, CPA, to launch their initial agency. Frank and Greg then partnered with Tom Krupp in 2008 as they expanded their service area to include the entirety of Bucks County, most of Montgomery County and the Lehigh Valley.

Frank has been certified with the Society of Certified Senior Advisors® since 2006. Frank resides with his wife, Donna, and their dog, Tucker in North Wales, PA, where they raised their three sons.
