Over many years, a dedicated 24/7 support team was established to meet the evolving needs and anticipated decline of our loved one. Throughout this journey, several caregivers provided consistent, compassionate care and became trusted members of the support team, including Jenna, Theresa, April, Ola, Marty, Alexis, and, until recently, Shari. Jackie, the RN Manager, has been an exceptional partner throughout the years and continues to provide support following the passing of our loved one, regularly checking in and offering guidance and comfort. From the beginning, our shared commitment was centered on ensuring the highest quality of care through thoughtful caregiver matching, comprehensive shared training, and open communication. Jackie consistently reviewed care plans. Respect, dignity, and meaningful engagement were always priorities. Jackie was readily available to discuss concerns, problem-solve challenges, and adjust care plans to best meet changing needs. The Home Instead team partnered closely with our family to ensure our loved one’s needs were met with dignity, respect, compassion, and professionalism. When challenges arose, they were addressed promptly, thoughtfully, and collaboratively. Their commitment to quality care, open communication, and continuous improvement created a support system that brought comfort, confidence, and peace of mind to our family throughout the years.
My wife suffers from Parkinsonism and has multiple physical and mental constraints. She has received care from Connie for 18 months. Lynn has thoroughly enjoyed Connie’s presence in our home and would always look forward to her biweekly visits. Connie always came with a positive attitude and brought joy in the face of Lynn’s multiple challenges. Connie provided encouragement, helpful hints and became a wonderful companion for Lynn during this difficult part of her life. She also offered kindness, respect and patience when attending to Lynn’s activities of daily living. Needles to say, Connie has been like family to us and is a wonderful representative for Home Instead.

There's no one-size-fits-all answer—but if your loved one wants to stay in their own home, in-home care can be the most personal, flexible, and reassuring option.
In-home care vs. assisted living
Assisted living can be great for those who want a communal setting and are ready to relocate. But if your loved one wants to stay at home, in-home care offers:
In-home care vs. hiring a private caregiver

“Shelley,” a 51-year-old single mother who raised three children on her own, including a son who survived cancer, also cared for her father and mother before they died. “Caregiving and working were hard emotionally, physically and mentally, and it took a toll,” Shelley said. “There were a couple of incidents where my mom fell and I needed to meet the ambulance. My employer said, ‘You know, if you leave, you’re not going to get paid.’ Eventually I was laid off. They said I was good at my job, but I was too slow. I understood. My mind was in two different places.”
Shelley said she felt access to family caregiving resources could have helped her stay employed longer.
