A Home Instead caregiver helped me take care of my father, who had mid-stage dementia and short-term memory loss. She was a caring, understanding and giving person, and my father truly enjoyed her jokes and sense of humor. She sat and ate lunch with him, prepped meals for him, and discussed daily news topics, which he thoroughly enjoyed since he was no longer able to read. Her insight helped me find ways to deal with the nuances of his care, which enabled him to stay in his own home for 2 more years. Having a caregiver provided tremendous peace of mind to me and my siblings .

My mother was a Home Instead client for more than 6 years at first in her own home then when she moved to my home we continued with Home Instead caregivers coming in to dispense time w her. All of the caregivers were wonderful with my mother. They were competent and diligent with their duties all the while keeping my mother engaged in conversation and activities related to her interests. The agency is run very professionally and is very accommodating. Home Instead was very dependable and also flexible with scheduling when necessary to accommodate doctor appointments and anything else that might arise, even driving her to activities and appointments. I give Home Instead 5 stars! I would recommend Home Instead to anyone looking for assistance keeping their loved one at home.

Home Instead has been part of my family for approximately seven months. It was the best move I made. My father has been living with me for 10 months. I tried to take care of dad for the first four months by myself, but realized we needed help. I contacted Home Instead and was immediately met with compassionate, professional people. I continue to be impressed with every employee, from the office staff to the aides who take care of my father. The office phone is always answered within the first two rings by an actual person. You will not get a recording asking you to select a prompt. I even had to call one time after hours and the on-call person answered right away. The office staff talk to me as if we have known each other for a long time, which is great. They know me and are familiar with my father's conditions. The aides who look after my father are great. They interact with him and treat him as if he was their dad. In the beginning the company will take the time to do an assessment and look for aides who will be the right fit for the specific circumstances presented. Additionally, the company actually performs, what I call, unannounced performance evaluations. The Client Care Coordinator will arrive unannounced on any given day to check on their employee/aide at the clients location. Everything Home Instead provides has given me peace of mind and a calm I have not felt in some time. Choosing Home Instead was the best move we made.

Home Instead has a very caring and professional staff who work quickly and thoroughly to set up service for your loved one. When my mother was released from the hospital we had caregivers assigned within 3 days. She receives 4 hours of care per day which is perfect for her needs. The caregivers are professional, caring and conscientious. My mother has become very accustomed to having them in her home and looks forward to company each day. It has relieved so much of my stress from the day to day care of my mother, especially when I work full time. The managers and office staff are able to react to most all of my mother's care schedule changes we request to accommodate visits by family members, vacations and special events. We highly recommend Home Instead for home care needs! They're flexible and dependable.

I had a friend that recommended Home Instead. My caregiver, Nancy, was very good, very pleasant, and thoughtful. I enjoyed my conversations with her, and it was a pleasant experience.

The caregiver for my father was compassionate, sensitive and reliable. We knew what to expect from the caregiver and the office support staff. Class operation all the way!
