Martie Cruz, Managing Director and Franchise Owner
Home Instead Senior Care
San Bruno, San Mateo and Walnut Creek
Martie Cruz’s path to becoming a
Home Instead Senior Care franchise owner was spurred by a combination of solid
family values, successful sales experience and a fateful trip to a bookstore.
After witnessing her mother’s
reaction to a temporary stay in a convalescent rehab, Martie vowed to keep her
memory alive by working tirelessly to make sure seniors get to stay in their
houses. Martie’s career as a thriving real estate agent in Northern
San Mateo County also gave her exposure to seniors residing in board-and-care
facilities. She frequently encountered individuals who voiced their desires to live
in their own dwellings.
Soon enough, Martie stumbled upon
a Home Instead Senior Care magazine article one day while browsing for books.
She calls it, “Love at first read. I
knew I was destined to cross paths with Home Instead Senior Care, it was
an infinite intelligence call.” So, Martie quickly set out to become
part of the Home Instead family, equipped with a passion for
franchises, sales know-how and vast knowledge about seniors. Her business has
been growing since 1996.
Martie
continues to honor her mother through her franchise’s Grand GIVEBack and Hand in
Hand programs.
