Homewatch CareGivers of Charlotte

My name is Julie Conway, and I am the co-owner of HomeWatch Caregivers. I have a master’s degree in social work (MSW) from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and spent most of my career as a medical social worker in various hospital systems in Wisconsin and North Carolina. In doing that, I saw firsthand the challenges the aging population face and the need for supportive in-home care services. I have always held a strong desire to make a difference in the lives of the people around me and in my community.

Hi, My name is Martin Conway and my wife and I are the proud owners of HomeWatch Caregivers of Charlotte and Mooresville. After growing up in Scotland & England, I moved to Wisconsin to attend college where Julie and I met at Marquette University, in MIlwaukee, WI.We have called NC home since 2008, and live in Mooresville with our 4 children (ages 17, 15, 10, 10).In my spare time, I love spending time with my wife, our children, our parents, family and friends, listening to podcasts and watching soccer. With a playing background in professional and NCAA Division 1 soccer, I sometimes forget that my body cannot do what it used to be able to do 20 years ago! That does not prevent me from watching and providing "expert advice" from the couch though :)With a Master’s Degree in Business Administration (MBA) and 15+ years’ leadership experience in the healthcare industry, I am grateful for the opportunity to care for those in need across the local community and apply many of the wonderful lessons life provides.My drive to deliver excellent care for our entire community stems from my younger brother, Tony, and his and our relationship and experience with ALS. Being there for people in their time of need is crucial and while I cannot bring my Tony back - I can honor his memory and be there for others in need of care, support and love. Thank you for the opportunity to serve our community, we look forward to continuing to work with the many organizations, business and families focused on caring for loved ones across Charlotte and the Lake Norman area.

Hi, My name is Pauline, and I’ve worked for HomeWatch Caregivers of Mooresville & Charlotte for 3 years. I was born and raised in Scotland & and still retain my Scottish accent. As quality manager, my role primarily involves regular telephone liaison with clients, caregivers, agencies, and families to ensure quality care and exceptional communication is delivered. While I’m technically a “senior,” I believe that age is just a number and will continue to enjoy working to help as many people as I can, for as long as I am able. My professional experience is in Health & Safety and Quality Assurance in the United Kingdom and here in the USA, as Director of Quality Assurance. In both countries, I worked in corporate hospitality to ensure Safe Standards were met in the storage, preparation, and service of food/meals.In the UK, I worked at Major Sporting Events including Soccer Stadiums, Rugby Stadiums, Music Venues, and International Flower Shows. I worked every year at the British Open Golf Championship, and at various professional golf tournaments in Ireland, Scotland, England, and Wales including the Ryder Cup. In the USA, my skills were used to ensure compliance with Federal and State Food Safety requirements, including the strict standards of the Food & Drug Administration. Clients in the USA were from Corporate America, Blue-chip companies such as Bank of America & Microsoft. I truly enjoy working with people and making sure they are happy with the service and help provided to them. I am a Mum of two sons, grandmother to six beautiful grandchildren and wife to only one husband, to whom I’ve been married for 52 years.

My name is Ellen Abbott, and I am the Director of Nursing at Homewatch CareGivers. I am originally from Aiken, South Carolina and earned my bachelor's degree from the University of South Carolina, followed by my Master’s degree in Nursing Administration from Gardner-Webb University. My nursing background includes experience working in Inpatient Hospital Systems, Skilled Nursing Facilities, Sub-acute Rehabilitation, and Continuing Care Retirement Communities. Through this work, I’ve learned that the care people remember most isn’t the medical care—it’s how someone made them feel. A kind, trustworthy caregiver can change everything, which is why I am passionate about ensuring you have someone wonderful coming into your home. In my role, I provide clinical oversight, support caregivers through education and guidance, collaborate with healthcare providers and work closely with families to ensure care plans are safe, clear, and tailored to each client’s needs. I am also a strong advocate for gracefully aging in place, providing primary caregivers with some much-needed R&R, and helping families navigate a season of life that is often full of varying emotions and difficult decisions. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband, our three children, and our crew of furry friends. Helping people feel safe, supported, and respected in their own homes is at the heart of everything I do.
