The Kennebunk and York offices provide services throughout York County and are part of a network of over 650 independently owned and operated offices worldwide.
For many years, Rudman has been actively involved in Memory Walk and the Michael Dolan Memorial Golf Tournament, fundraisers supporting the Alzheimer's Association, Maine Chapter. She will be working closely with Margy Gambell, R.N., who has served as community service director since 2004 at Home Instead, and will continue to focus on a wide range of marketing, community service and account management responsibilities.
