Home Helpers Names New CFO; Modivcare Appoints 2 New Execs

Nick Evans joins Home Helpers as new chief financial officer

In-home care provider Home Helpers appointed Nick Evans, a former executive at tax preparation firm Liberty Tax Services, as its new CFO.

Evans will succeed Home Helpers’ current CFO Bill Burlingham, who is retiring after 11 years in the role. Evans aims to continue operations with minimal disruption as Ohio-based Home Helpers continues expanding nationally in 2026.

“My goal is to continue [Burlingham’s] legacy by supporting our franchisees’ growth, strengthening our financial systems and helping more people live independently and with dignity,” Evans said in a statement.

Ohio-based Home Helpers provides in-home personal care and companionship for elderly adults and individuals with disabilities. As of December 2025, Home Helpers has 327 franchise locations.

The private equity firm Linsalata Capital Partners first acquired Home Helpers’ parent company in 2016. The health care-focused private equity company RiverGlade Capital bought the business in 2021.

Modivcare appoints two new execs

Kenneth Shepard, current CFO of Modivcare’s NEMT business unit, has been promoted as the firm’s executive vice president and enterprise CFO. He will maintain his CFO duties over the firm’s non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) unit.

Meanwhile, Josh Komenda, founder and former CEO of the NEMT company Veyo, will serve as the new CEO of Modivcare’s NEMT business unit. At Veyo, Komenda helped expand the firm into seven states and enabled 8.4 million annual trips, according to the company. He also founded the Arizona-based in-home care firm Brightwood Health in 2023.

“[Komenda’s] deep expertise in non-emergency medical transportation, his entrepreneurial background and his unwavering commitment to member experience make him exceptionally well-suited to lead our organization,” Modivcare’s Board of Managers Chairman Daniel Silvers said in a statement.

Denver-based Modivcare provides personal home care, NEMT and in-home monitoring solutions.

In May 2025, Modivcare departed with its CFO Barb Gutierrez and Chief Information Officer Jessica Kral and opted not to fill their positions at the time, HHCN previously reported.

Modivcare filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in August 2025 to drop $1.1 billion in debt, with its stock MODV delisted on Nasdaq immediately after. Since then, a judge cleared the path for Modivcare to emerge from bankruptcy.

Bill Dombi joins government relations firm Liberty Partners

I am excited to be working alongside them as we seek to ensure that the needs of patients and their providers continue to be met, now and well into the future.”

Dombi spearheaded law, policy and advocacy in the home health and hospice sectors for more than 40 years. He previously led the National Alliance for Care at Home, formerly known as the National Association for Home Care & Hospice (NAHC). He retired as NAHC president at the end of 2024.

Dombi joins David Totaro, home hospice policy leader and advocate, and former Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats, who are principal and policy advisor, respectively, at Liberty Partners Group.

A Place for Mom taps former Grubhub, Amazon vet Nidhin George

Nidhin George, former product leader at tech giants Grubhub and Amazon, joined the senior care platform A Place for Mom as chief product officer.

George will guide the company’s upcoming growth efforts for its AI-powered, personalized platform for families and care providers in his new role, according to A Place for Mom.

George has built consumer products for the past 20 years, first at the retail marketplace giant Amazon, then the food delivery firm Grubhub. During this time, he scaled consumer experiences, logistics and operations and leveraged AI to bolster service interactions and reduce friction, per A Place for Mom.

“Nidhin brings a powerful combination of marketplace expertise, customer focus and experience building personalized product journeys at scale,” A Place for Mom CEO Tatyana Zlotsky said in a statement. “As we continue to support families through one of life’s most emotional decisions, his proven leadership will help realize our transformation by leveraging technology that keeps humans at the center for more intuitive, trusted experiences.”

New York City-based A Place for Mom is an online platform designed to connect families to services for older adults, including home-based care.

Visiting Angels taps Scott Parrish as president

Senior home care provider Visiting Angels appointed Scott Parrish as its new president.

Parrish first joined the Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania-based company in 2008 as its general manager, before stepping up as its executive vice president and senior vice president.

Now serving as president, Parrish will work alongside Larry Meigs, Visiting Angels’ founder and CEO, to oversee the company’s growth.

“When I think about the next chapter for Visiting Angels, I think about the kind of leadership that earns trust from every direction – from our franchise owners, our caregivers, and the families we serve. Scott embodies that,” Meigs said in a June 18 statement. “He’s the right person, at the right time, to help lead this brand forward.”

Founded in 1998, Visiting Angels provides in-home care services including personal home care, companion care, palliative care and specialty care services. It operates over 800 locations.

Clover Health parts with its CEO, Won’t Fill Role

Brady Priest will step down as CEO of the health care firm Clover Health Investments (NASDAQ: CLOV), effective July 3.

Priest served as CEO of Clover since 2022, first overseeing Clover Home Care before Clover Care Services. His position will not be filled after his departure. Instead, the remaining executives will share his duties.

The decision to not fill Priest’s position brings Clover Care Services closer to the firm’s broader operations, Clover Health noted in a government filing, adding that Priest’s exit from the company did not result from any disagreement with Clover’s operations, policies or practices.

Clover Health Investments is a Tennessee-based company offering Medicare Advantage insurance plans and in-house clinical services for older adults. The firm’s market capitalization reached $2.7 billion as of June 23.
