    The responsiveness, commitment and personal care of the team. I will always remember the home visit and the FaceTime call to include me. It was so personal and I felt right away that we were in good hands - especially being far away.

    We're using Home Instead Senior Care for my aunt. They've done just fine so far, and they're doing what we've hoped they would do. They've been very busy when they get there. Their main thing is to prepare breakfast for her and do some cleaning around the house. Sometimes they also help her with shower and in taking a bath, too. They're doing really good. We just have one caregiver that comes twice a week. We've had some bad weather and had issues, but then they'd have someone come over and fill in. It happened a couple of times when the main caregiver couldn't get there. I would recommend them. They've done well from the beginning when we first met them, and they kept their work and have been there and done a good job.

    You provide warm, knowledgeable, and consistent care for those who need assistance. Our family thanks you for efforts. My twin brother has Alzheimer’s and needs help with cleaning. Home Instead also provides companionship help. Staff is always on time and leaves my brother happy as a result of their service. Whatever our family needs, Home Instead provides.
