Keeping the people we love at home, longer.

This past week’s Westside Referral Builders member highlight is Jane Ripberger, owner of Home Instead – West Side Cincinnati.

Jane is a lifelong West Sider, a former nurse, and has spent more than 40 years caring for aging adults. This isn’t just a business for her — it’s work she genuinely has a heart for.

Home Instead helps older adults stay safe, comfortable and independent in their own homes, while also giving family caregivers some much-needed support.

Their Care Pros can help with things like:
• Bathing and personal care
• Light housekeeping and meal preparation
• Transportation and errands
• Companionship
• Dementia and memory support
• Respite care so family caregivers can take a break

And here’s something many families may not know: through Medicare’s GUIDE Model, some people living with dementia may qualify for up to $2,500 per year in respite services, depending on eligibility.

Sometimes staying at home doesn’t mean doing everything alone. It just means having the right help.

We’re proud to have Jane and Home Instead as part of Westside Referral Builders.

Member Highlight: Kevin McBride | Civista Bank

Yesterday at Westside Referral Builders, we got to hear from Kevin McBride with Civista Bank.

With 29 years in the mortgage industry, Kevin brings a ton of experience to the table and works with buyers to get them pre-approved and in the strongest position possible when it’s time to purchase a home.

One thing that really stood out to me was the variety of options Civista can offer, including:

• Up to 100% financing with a fixed rate and no PMI for eligible buyers through their Community View program
• In-house and portfolio lending options that can create solutions when traditional financing may not fit
• Specialized financing for medical professionals — including a physician loan program

And something I learned yesterday: CRNAs (Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists) may have financing opportunities through Civista that they don’t always find with other lenders.

Kevin also shared how committed Civista is to supporting the communities they serve — something that fits perfectly with what Westside Referral Builders is all about.

Thank you, Kevin, for sharing your knowledge with us!

Westside business owners — we’re looking to grow our circle.

Westside Referral Builders is a group of local professionals who believe in doing business with care, conviction, and people we trust enough to refer our own clients to.

We meet once a month, build real relationships, and help each other grow through referrals.

We only allow ONE business per profession — which means we have a limited number of seats, and your profession might be one we’re missing.

We already have Insurance, Realtor, Mortgage Lender, Photography, Investments, Senior Care, Home Care, Senior Home Placement, Moving & Storage, Title, Contractor and several others represented.

Our next meeting is this Thursday, September 3rd.

If your profession isn’t listed and you’d like to check us out, message me — I’d love to have you as my guest.

✨ Business Spotlight from Westside Referral Builder ✨

Yesterday we had the pleasure of hearing from Jennifer Getzendanner, a local representative with Mia Bella Candles — and WOW… such a fun and creative business! 🕯️

If you haven’t heard of Mia Bella, they’re known for their clean-burning, highly fragranced candles made with natural wax that fill a room from the first light to the last burn. 🔥 They’re even made right here in the U.S. and are big on supporting communities through fundraising efforts.

But what makes Jennifer stand out is how she helps businesses get creative…

💡 Custom labels for your brand
💡 Scents matched to your business or vibe
💡 Perfect for client gifts, closing gifts, events & promotions
💡 Works with realtors, insurance agents, and really ANY business looking to stand out

And here’s the best part… once you get started, she can turn around future orders FAST — making it super easy to keep your branding fresh and memorable.

This is one of those ideas that makes people say,
👉 “Wait… why am I NOT doing this for my clients?!”

If you’re looking for a unique, memorable way to stay in front of your clients, Jennifer is definitely someone you want to connect with!
