A Brief History
At Home Care started in August of 1995 when John Bouchard was caring for his Mother at home. After seeing the significant needs of his mother and others in the community, John decided to start an agency to allowed his Mother and other aging seniors to stay in their homes longer. John changed the name of the business to In-Home Care in 2001. His mother was with the Agency and stayed in her home until December 2003.
In 2006, Richard and Colleen McLaughlin purchased In-Home Care from John. A year later, Richard also bought Area Home Care in Lincoln. Since 2007, Richard continued to grow the company which currently serves close to 100 clients and has over 60 employees!
In early 2019, Mathew Shankweiler purchased In-Home Care.
