Home Instead 4.9 (31 Reviews)

Husband and wife Creighton and Tracey Gibson will never forget Nov. 18, 2002, when they started their award-winning Home Instead® franchise in Statesville, North Carolina, which serves Iredell and Alexander Counties. Tracey joined the franchise operations full time in May 2007. As the years passed, their franchise added a welcome presence in Mooresville and Taylorsville as well as many other area towns.  

 

Creighton and I work with an administrative team of 12 people in our licensed home-care agency. Our professional leadership team prepares Care Professionals to provide our clients with safety assurance, meal preparation, medication reminders, light housekeeping, and transportation and errands. Our Care Pros offer personal assistance with eating, grooming, dressing, bathing, incontinence care, cognitive impairment, hospice support and mobility. By expertly doing so, they not only assist their clients, but help their families eliminate worry, reduce stress and re-establish personal freedom. Companionship also is a huge element of the care we provide. We also speak to companies and organizations on topics related to aging adults and senior issues. Creighton and I have more than 50 years of combined non-profit management and leadership experience from previous roles in church leadership, Chamber of Commerce participation, home care for aging adults and other various leadership roles in the community.

 

Creighton serves as a Deacon in their church and leads the hiring efforts of Home Instead. The care that was needed by his mother and father is the reason the business was started. He was born and raised in Troutman, NC and is a graduate of Mitchell Community College. Creighton has a background in customer service through various family businesses growing up and being employed with JC Steele and Sons prior to having the calling of opening a Home Care agency. 

We enjoy many types of sports such as camping, golf and hot air balloons. We take an interest in statewide politics. Our keys to success include tremendous family and business support; taking many leaps of faith; possessing the courage not to waver; having the humble ability to ask for help; and holding a passion to help others by being a resource to aging adults in our community. 

Some awards and honors Home Instead-Statesville has received over the years include the following: 

• Greater Statesville Chamber of Commerce’s Business of the Year Award (Home Instead).
• For three years, the Gibsons’ franchise was honored in Home Instead’s Top Sales Per Senior category in the Mid-Atlantic Region.
