As a CNA for five years, Lilia Hernandez already knew how to skillfully and compassionately care for the elderly. During a job search in December 2024, she was concerned most about finding an employer who would care about her. She found a home with owner Michael Lammers’ award-winning Home Instead® franchise of Boulder, Broomfield and northwest Adams Counties. It has been a great fit, so much so that Lilia was honored as Home Instead’s Care Professional of the Month for October.
“I wanted to work for Home Instead because they care about their employees, and I wanted to be able to grow professionally. Home Instead provides that opportunity for all their Care Pros,” said Lilia, who found Home Instead on Indeed.com and now has held a CNA license for the past seven years. “I’ve been with Home Instead just three months short of two years. Being a CNA in home care is more than just a job. It’s about caring for others with patience and compassion so they can stay in the comfort of their home. I cared for my father who had a stroke, so it’s important to me to give him and others the best care possible.”
She added: “What I like most about working for Home Instead is receiving support from management, supervisors and fellow Care Pros. While serving my clients, I love our conversations. I have learned about new food recipes and listened to my clients’ childhood memories.”
Recruitment and Engagement Coordinator Brenda Munro was thrilled after she and the Home Instead team hired Lilia in January 2025. “Lilia is a full-time overnight Care Pro who completely flies under the radar in terms of receiving attention for her excellent client care. I think that’s the case with overnight Care Pros because they sometimes have less interaction with clients,” Brenda said. “But that doesn’t make their work any less important.”
