Always Best Care named Jason Shontz CFO, VNA Health Group appointed Scott Carmosino CFO effective Oct. 9, and Home Halo named Ken Meyers chief growth officer and promoted Kierstin Conner to chief care officer. The appointments cover financial leadership, expansion and care operations at three home-care organizations; the source report does not specify a year for the Oct. 9 effective date.
Always Best Care Senior Services, VNA Health Group and Home Halo have announced new executive appointments, naming leaders in finance, growth and care. The moves place Jason Shontz and Scott Carmosino in CFO roles at their respective organizations, while Home Halo appointed Ken Meyers chief growth officer and promoted Kierstin Conner to chief care officer.
Always Best Care appointed Jason Shontz as chief financial officer. He most recently was vice president of finance at The Joint Corp., a chiropractic franchisor. The company said Shontz will focus on sustainable franchise growth and franchisee financial health. Always Best Care, based in Rocklin, California, operates 295 locations across the United States and Canada, according to the report.
VNA Health Group named its senior vice president of finance and controller, Scott Carmosino, as CFO, effective Oct. 9. The report says the appointment followed a planned leadership transition and national search. Carmosino will oversee financial strategy, including budgeting, forecasting, regulatory compliance and long-term planning. He succeeds Kevin Rogers, who announced plans to retire in July. Rogers is expected to remain full-time through the end of 2026 and serve as an adviser into early 2027.
Home Halo appointed Ken Meyers chief growth officer and promoted Kierstin Conner, who joined the company in July 2025, to chief care officer. In a LinkedIn post, the company said Meyers would guide growth strategy, expand its reach and strengthen its foundation. It said Conner’s role will include strengthening care and supporting clients and caregivers. The source report also notes that the Colorado-based provider offers non-medical home care in eight states.
Leadership for Growth and Care
The appointments put named executives in roles tied to financial oversight, franchise expansion and care delivery across organizations serving older adults and other people receiving home-based services. For franchise operators, Always Best Care’s stated emphasis on franchisee economics makes the CFO appointment relevant to the financial support and information available across its network. At VNA Health Group, Carmosino’s internal appointment provides continuity while the organization prepares for Rogers’ retirement.
Home Halo’s two appointments address different parts of its business: growth strategy and care operations. The company announced in early 2026 that it would begin franchising locations, according to the report, making growth leadership relevant as it expands. The source material does not provide financial targets, staffing plans or a detailed timetable for the appointments’ effects, so their practical impact is not yet established.

Three Providers, Different Transitions
The appointments come as home-based care organizations manage a mix of business expansion and leadership succession. Always Best Care provides non-medical in-home care, senior living referrals and skilled home health services in select markets. Its franchise network spans the United States and Canada, giving its CFO responsibilities that include franchise-system economics.
VNA Health Group is a New Jersey nonprofit provider of home- and community-based services. Carmosino already held senior finance responsibilities there, while Rogers’ planned retirement prompted the change. Home Halo provides non-medical services, including respite and dementia care, in eight states. The source report also covered a separate appointment at the National Alliance for Care at Home: Jennifer Stewart was named vice president of strategic engagement and experience. The Alliance is an advocacy organization for the home-based care continuum; its appointment is distinct from the three provider leadership changes at the center of this article.
“Jason brings the combination of financial discipline, franchise experience and strategic perspective we need as Always Best Care continues to grow.”
— Jake Brown, president and CEO of Always Best Care

Appointment Details Still Pending
The source report does not identify the year for the stated Oct. 9 effective date of Carmosino’s appointment. It also does not provide start dates for Shontz, Meyers or Conner, or further detail on how their responsibilities will be divided among existing leadership teams. Home Halo’s franchising plans are mentioned, but the report does not say how quickly the company expects to add locations or what role Meyers will play in specific market decisions.
No financial results, hiring projections or performance targets were supplied for the appointments. The companies’ statements describe their expectations and reasons for the leadership changes, but do not establish what measurable effects the appointments will have on operations, service access or growth.

Executives Take Up Their Roles
The next confirmed milestone at VNA Health Group is Rogers’ expected departure from full-time work at the end of 2026, followed by an advisory role into early 2027. Carmosino is set to lead the organization’s finance function as that handover proceeds. The source report gives no later date for the conclusion of his advisory support.
At Always Best Care and Home Halo, the reported next steps are tied to the responsibilities set out by each company: financial and franchise support at Always Best Care, and growth strategy and care leadership at Home Halo. Further information on implementation, business targets or changes to services was not included in the announcement material.
