Paul Hogan, a 1985 University of Nebraska–Lincoln graduate, founded Home Instead Senior Care® with his wife, Lori, in 1994. Today, the franchise network is the world's leading provider of home care services for seniors, with more than 1,000 independently owned and operated franchise offices that provide more than 50 million hours of care annually throughout the United States and 16 additional countries.

Hogan serves as vice chair of the World Economic Forum Global Agenda Council on Aging. Additionally, Home Instead Senior Care is a World Economic Forum Global Growth Company Partner.

For his success in exporting the home care business concept to other countries, Hogan was awarded the “E” Award by the U.S. Department of Commerce in May 2008. This award, which was presented at a White House ceremony, is one of the highest honors the federal government presents to individuals, firms or organizations that have made a significant contribution to American exports.

In recognition of his contribution to franchising, Hogan was named the Entrepreneur of the Year for 2006 by the International Franchise Association.

Hogan co-authored, Stages of Senior Care (McGraw-Hill), a USA Today Bestseller. Proceeds from book sales go to the Home Instead Senior Care Foundation, which provides financial support to non-profit organizations dedicated to improving the quality of life of older adults.
