My worker does whatever I need because I’m stuck in my nursing home since March 10,2020. If it weren’t for the thing’s she does it would probably affect my mental health as well as my physical health. I’ve been with Home Instead senior care for about 7 years and I’ve been taken care of as well as I was when I became a client. My workers have all done whatever needs doing
Sorry. So jumbled I’ve had MS 29 years

Home Instead is providing me with focused care for my husband and respite care for me. The care giver is always on time and very good care to my husband. She is focused on his needs and mine. Very caring and kind. The Home Instead has shown me they are always there for me when I need them. They are a God send to me and my husband.

My mother enjoyed the interaction with her new caregiver. They talked and laughed. The caregiver fed her lunch, and made sure her bottom was dry and clean before she left. She was awesome!

We're using Home Instead Senior Care - Baton Rouge for mom. We liked the person they sent, there have been a few things that have fallen through the cracks, but overall, we've been pleased. Scheduling and billing is fine, there are no problems there. The caregiver is great. They run all her errands, take her to appointments, make her bed, do some clothes washing, they make sure she takes her medication, they walk with her, make sure she's safe and secure, and help with her daily personal hygiene.

Our scheduling staff is top notch and do all they can to meet our needs. Our needs only involve companionship, but for a very mobile individual, this is sometimes asking a lot.

I am helping take care of my uncle who is 89 years old and has Alzheimer's. He is in a memory care facility but needs someone with him 24 hoyrs a day. Home Instead has been extremely responsive since I first contacted them.
Their caregivers are very professional and well trained. They truly care about the person they are taking care of.
The notes left after each shift give you a good idea of what kind of day your loved one had. We are notified immediately if the care giver sees any change that we should be aware of.
I would recommend Home Instead to ANYONE needing care!

We are using Home Instead Senior Care Baton Rouge for my mom. This Senior care is not good as it used to be anymore. Some of the caregivers do not know simple hand hygiene. We are so disappointed.

We are using Home Instead Senior Care Baton Rouge for my wife. We have a few caregivers who come in four days a week and then on Wednesday, there has been different people. My wife goes to rehab and when she comes in, she is here until I get home. She will make her a little something to eat. It is working out pretty well. They are very helpful and on time and take her to the doctor.

The caregivers at Home Instead were good. Sometimes their employees would not show up or show up late, but in general, the office staff did their best to try to notify us when someone was not going to show up. They also notified us if somebody was running late and tried to find out the reason why. We used them for around three or four weeks. Their office staff was very responsive.

I definitely will give Home Instead FIVE stars. Every caregiver has been compassionate, knowledgeable, good personality, courteous, considerate, friendly,, etc. Whenever one sitter can't come, Home Instead always sends a replacement. My sister, brother, and I are all very happy we chose Home Instead to care for our daddy. It is an excellent company!!!!!

The company is excellent because they really screen the applicants so that they have the best people to care for their clients. Their caregivers have high moral characters and integrity. The company does an excellent up to date training program. They do excellent follow along service once a caregiver is placed in a home. They are always available any hour of the day to provide advice or handle any situation that arise during your shift. Not only do they care about the clients we provide service for but they care about the caregivers.

I have a top notch caregiver and therefore I am very pleased the service. I like the rules of the services and that makes things a lot easier. My caregiver promotes my independence and continues to offer good suggestions and ideas. She is honest and smart. I am blessed to have her. We get along well together. She is a like a second daughter to me.

HlSC offers four hour shift when other companies are offering 8hr shifts so that is more of a benefit for the client if they only need 4hrs for a cg to work for them. They treat employees like family. They keep us to date on training.

We got them for my mother for less than a month for care giving and housekeeping. She was perfect and excellent. We needed someone with a back bone, she was with mom when she died and we were grateful for that.

Home Instead was the first agency I've ever dealt with. I was very pleased with the caregivers that my mother had. The lady that came out who interviewed me and my mom was very knowledgeable, and knows what she's doing. One time, mom had a fall when she was trying to get to the door to let the caregiver in. The caregiver knew what she had to do and sent grandma to urgent care. So I felt like they did a very good job. They know what to do in case of emergency.
However, I think some of the individual caregivers might be trying to work more than one job, because one time the caregiver started to fall asleep. I understand because I've worked two jobs too, but that's a little scary. But I also like that the caregivers follow-up with me and talk to me. The communication was very good and they're willing to communicate with the family. They also do a very good job of showing that they really do care about a person. I think the actual caregiving itself is very good. I would definitely recommend them and use them again.
