Greg Hanks, Owner, CFO
Greg is happy to join his daughter, Marie, as a Home Instead franchise owner in both Lehigh and Berks County. He is a retired Orthopedic Surgeon after a very gratifying 35 year career in medicine. His interest in senior care began as a teenager. His mother owned and operated a skilled nursing facility. Greg held several after school and summer jobs there, including physical therapy assistant, cook and housekeeper. He later was an advisor to his mother in the business for several years.
As an Orthopedic Surgeon his care for the elderly continued. He treated thousands of adults and seniors and always cherished caring for them. After his mother became ill, she lived with Greg and his family in their home. She had caring Home Health Aides assisting in her care which allowed her to stay in their home for the remainder of her life. Being a franchise owner allows Greg to continue his family’s dream of caring for the elderly.
