The caregiver visits my mother at home once a week and is always on time and works her full shift. The heath care provider meet with me yesterday at my mother's house during her weekly visit. She is, without a doubt, the most professional, kind, and compassionate person that I have worked with. We recently had a death in the family and she was on hand to offer support to my mother during a very difficult time.The care giver consistently provides excellent service to my mother. For example, she goes out of her way to organize and clean the house and recently added a quilt to the couch where my mother sets to watch TV. She was not asked to do this, she just did it. It makes for a more comfortable setting for my mother.The caregiver that we have been assigned is a true blessing to my mother and me. Thank you and her for the excellent service provided by your company. The company has been very responsive to my requests to take my mother to the doctor on multiple occasions. I work long hours and sometimes I cannot be on hand to take my other to the doctor. The company has always replied to my requests to transport my mother to the doctor in a timely manor. They are always kind and professional towards me concerning all maters related to my mother's care.

My mother lives by herself in a retirement community several states away from me. I appreciate the care the Home Instead caretakers give to my mother. They provide her with companionship and are able to let me know if she needs anything. My mother’s memory is slipping and I feel more comfortable with having someone there watching out for her.

Home Instead could not have been more cooperative; they could not have been nicer. The lady that came here to the house was very, very nice. She got along very well with us. It's just my husband got to the point that there was very little that we could do. He was so resistant of everything that was being done. And that of course was not the lady's fault. This agency was just with us a short while. Had I known about them earlier, I think they could have helped me out a great deal but I just didn't know about them. By the time I did get them, my husband had deteriorated in such a level that he needed memory care.
