Meet Our Team

Billy Frost was born in Winston-Salem, NC in June of 1962, and just a few short years later, in 1965, his family made Dublin their home. He attended Dublin City Schools and later pursued his education at Georgia College in Milledgeville, where he earned a business degree in 1988. His roots in this community run deep, and it is this strong foundation that has guided his life’s work.

In 2006, when Home Instead recognized that Dublin and the surrounding areas would be a wonderful place to open an office, Billy knew this was a calling he couldn’t ignore. With open arms and a servant’s heart, he embraced the opportunity to bring compassionate, reliable care to seniors and their families across nine counties, from Dublin to Statesboro.

For Billy, this work is far more than a business—it is a mission. He and his dedicated staff share a genuine passion for serving seniors, helping them remain in the place they call home, surrounded by comfort, dignity, and love. Every decision, every effort, and every relationship built through Home Instead is driven by the belief that seniors deserve to be cared for as though they were our own family.

Billy invites you to explore Home Instead and see firsthand how his team provides the support, reassurance, and compassion that families need during some of life’s most important seasons. With a warm heart and steadfast dedication, Billy and his staff are here to walk alongside seniors and their loved ones, ensuring that wherever “home” may be, it remains a place of peace, safety, and cherished memories.

Austin Frost has been an integral part of the Home Instead family since 2021. Over the years, he has worn many hats within the office, proving himself to be both versatile and dependable. His dedication and commitment to excellence led him to the role of General Manager, where he now oversees the daily administrative operations that keep our office running smoothly.

In his role, Austin ensures that everything from scheduling and client communication to caregiver support and compliance with healthcare regulations flows seamlessly. He also provides valuable guidance in human resources functions, including onboarding new team members, assisting with payroll, and fostering a positive work environment. As General Manager, Austin serves as the vital connection between caregivers, clients, and company leadership, helping to ensure that the services we provide are not only organized and efficient, but also filled with the compassion and personal touch that Home Instead is known for.

Beyond his work at Home Instead, Austin is deeply rooted in his community. He is an active member of the Chamber of Commerce and gives his time and energy to causes close to his heart, such as “The Hunter for the Cure” and “The Exchange Club.” His involvement reflects his belief in giving back and making a difference both inside and outside of the workplace.

When Austin isn’t in the office or serving in the community, you’ll most likely find him outdoors. He enjoys hunting, fishing, and golfing, but above all else, he cherishes time spent with his family. Those closest to him know that family is at the core of everything he does, and it is this same devotion that shines through in the way he leads, supports, and uplifts the team at Home Instead.

Meet Charlie and her daughter Radar, the dynamic duo who keep the Home Instead office in check! These two first strutted into the Dublin Country Club like they owned the place, and franchise owner Billy Frost couldn’t resist adopting them both.

Now, they proudly serve as our unpaid interns (benefits include belly rubs and treats). Charlie is the seasoned professional—graceful, wise, and always keeping an eye on things. Radar, on the other hand, believes she’s in charge of quality control… especially when it comes to snacks.

Their hobbies include chasing birds they’ll never catch, supervising the office with suspicious side-eyes, and insisting on long car rides whenever possible. Together, they keep morale high and make sure everyone remembers who's the boss.
