Meet Our Team

Glen is husband to Nadine and father to four wonderful children. Until a few years ago, Peterborough and the Kawartha region were a second home for them having been cottagers in the area for over thirty years.  In 2019, his family moved to the community to support older adults and their families.  He brings many years of diverse experience to Home Instead, having been in leadership roles with both Fortune 500 companies and in the not-for-profit sector. 

Glen has a deep sense of gratitude for the way his parents shaped him by modeling genuine and selfless care for others throughout their lives.  He measures success by the degree to which he cares for his team and the way his team positively impacts aging adults and their families.  His passion is to support and enable seniors to maximize their well-being and to build meaningful relationships in the process. 

He is delighted to live in the area and to invest his time and energy in enhancing the lives of older adults and their families.

Nadine believes in the value and importance of family and loves her primarily role as wife to Glen and mother to their four precious children. Nadine has spent many years cottaging in the Kawartha Lakes region, always wanting to someday settle and raise her children in the area. She is thrilled to both live and work here, all while encouraging and supporting seniors and their families in the community. She understands the struggle of being a part of the "Sandwich Generation" and being an only child, recognizes the difficulty balancing the need to ensure her widowed mother is being cared for, as well as her children. She is ecstatic that Home Instead Senior Care could be a way to bridge that gap for people in similar situations.

A graduate from the University of Waterloo in Political Science and International Studies, she spent many years working at both the Federal and Provincial government levels, ultimately deciding her desire was to care for her children at home.

When Nadine isn't busy chasing after their toddler and homeschooling their older kids, she manages Home Instead's social media and digital footprint. Her desire is to be an encouragement to the CAREGivers and office staff in the days ahead.

Rhonda grew up in Peterborough and is grateful to be able to serve her local community.  She is a graduate from the Registered Practical Nursing Program at Fleming and has spent many of the last twenty years working in supervisory roles in long term care, retirement homes and home health organizations.  Her experience has taught her the value of building trust, developing relationships, and providing care at the highest quality levels.  Rhonda has a people-first approach which serves her well as she engages with our team of Care Professionals and serves Home Instead’s clients with compassion and excellence.  When she’s not at work, Rhonda loves spending time with friends, dining out and cheering on her two boys during the many hockey and lacrosse games she attends with them.
