I want to thank Home Instead for all their help. Everybody from the Caretaker’s to Management have been so helpful, and understanding. I was impressed that during COVID, even though we canceled services at that time, Home Instead continued to call and check on us. I would also like to thank Maxine, for all the time and energy she puts in making my Moms day better. Thank you all.

My Mom and I have had an amazing experience with Home Instead. My Mom's caregiver is literally a life saver and enables her to continue to live at home and provides peace of mind to me as I live out of town. I don't know what we would do without her. Home Instead staff make the process easy and everyone is a joy to work with. I would highly recommend.

Home Instead has been a blessing to my family. The caretaker is always on time, personable, and gears conversation toward the client's most liked topics. During a time when extra time was needed for my husband's care, I called the agency and told them what I needed. They immediately confirmed my additional days and everything was taken care of promptly. The staff is caring, capable, and offers a big relief when you need respite care like we needed. They are professionals, and provide several levels of care, depending on your needs. Home Instead has been awesome, thank you.

My ward is a very difficult person. Despite that, she has enjoyed the sitter that Home Instead has provided.

Needed care for my 92 year old mother. The lady that comes to the house is wonderful. Helps mom with many things and also speaks Spanish which mom loves too. So far it has been a good experience.

The Home Instead staff in Lakeland, FL were a Godsend when My husband & I needed assistance with my father-in-law. When we realized we couldn’t do it all on our own we couldn’t have asked for a more professional, personable & caring staff. Not only was their assistance invaluable to us but we learned a lot about how we could better take care of & understand what he was going through at the time. And when it became necessary for hospice care they were there too offering us a break in the evenings.

The scheduling staff works hard to meet Mom's scheduling and personal needs. The home health care aides who work with Mom are very attentive to her and very responsive to me about any issues that they may see or experience with Mom

The ladies from Home Instead are the nicest and most professional people I have ever met. I would recommend them to anyone who needs help. They are not just my caregivers, they are my friends.

I contacted Home Instead in Lakeland when we were looking at options for my mom after she was discharged from rehab. Ultimately we determined that Mom needed assisted living. Even though home care didn’t work out, Temi was a wonderful resource. She gave me a lot of information and support. Of the many MANY people I talked to, she really was the most helpful to me personally. I am so grateful.

This was an amazing experience especially during such a stressful time. Everyone was great from the first visit to get information to the aides who came. My mom was very comfortable and she loved all the girls.

I have tried two other agencies before finding Home Instead in Lakeland. We have been with them for 3 years now, and we couldn't be happier. The girls they have sent out have done a wonderful job so far.

Home Instead Lakeland cares! They are always trying to help our family with changes, schedules and helping my mom through daily household tasks. We live out of state and they email us with updates and call us to make sure we know what's happening in moms life.
Thank you to Monica, April and Temi that are always there for us.

Home Instead provides a 5 star service! John and his wife have been very helpful in our need. The actual caregiver, Andrea, has been a godsend. We are pleased and thankful!

On searching for an in-home care for my wife, I had it down to two different ones and Home Instead seemed to be better qualified as far as I was concerned for what I wanted, that's how we ended up with them. They seemed to be more caring than the other one was. I have been using them for four years now. They came out and interviewed me and within that first week almost immediately, I had a CNA out here. Unfortunately, she left because she got a job in the hospital. She was hoping she could do both because she liked working with my wife and I enjoyed her too, but unfortunately we had to let her go. After her, we had one or two people that weren't satisfactory and we told the agency about them and lately I haven't seen them working around anymore, so the agency seemed to take what you say literally and go and do something about it. The current caregivers we have now would come three days a week and all they do is just get her up in the morning, wash her and get her dressed.
