History

Established in 1984.

To this day, Annette, along with chief financial officer, Martine Alicoate Munoz (Annette’s loving sister), remain actively involved in the day-​to-​day operations of Homeward Bound and vow to stay on for years to come. Since they were in their 20’s when Homeward Bound was founded, they see no reason to slow down now that their children are grown!

The founder’s two daughters Nicole and Angie also work at the agency as case managers. After being so closely connected to their mother’s life work, they feel confident with their career choice. In preparation for future management positions, Nicole and Angie continue to learn all aspects of the home care industry from the top two founding executives.

Meet the Business Owner

Annette R.

Business Owner

Homeward Bound’s founder Annette Alicoate Rinaldi, RN, started taking care of patients at an early age. At age 18, just after completing high school, she began working as a nursing assistant while working her way through nursing school. After graduating and becoming a Registered Nurse, she worked for the oncology patient unit at Swedish Covenant Hospital.

Annette also provided home care to seniors and the physically challenged in her community of Sauganash. Just as her patient home care referral list began to grow, a group of nurse’s aides got laid off from the hospital unit she was working on. Having extra home care jobs she could not accommodate, she decided to refer those jobs over to them. In doing so, Annette’s entrepreneurial spirit was ignited! She began advertising in her local newspaper to form a larger group of community caregivers to accommodate everyone in need, and thus the history of Homeward Bound began!
