" My mother has Alzheimer's and was very combative about the idea of having someone come into our house to be with her when I needed to be away. The people at Home Instead were very caring, and when someone came out for the initial evaluation, she did an excellent job of patiently spending time with my mother and allaying her fears. It is nice to have someone I can feel comfortable with in helping me put my mother at ease when I need to be away" ~Jalivings
"We were so fortunate to choose this company to take care of Mom. Our caregiver was more than we could have ever asked for, had an instand bond with Mom, and became part of our family almost immediately. When Mom went on hospice unexpectedly, we asked our caregiver to stay on as well, not knowing how to do this alone. She was there through every moment, all the way up to her passing, and even afterward to support our family. She hugged us, cried with us, became our rock. We could not have done it without her, and think she's our angel sent from above, the way she was with all of us, mostly Mom. The staff sent flowers, called, did above and beyond what any normal company would do. Everyone I talked to in the office was friendly, hard-working, and out to please us in whatever need we had, from changing scheduled times, to advice and education about her deteriorating condition. Ever since, I've thrown their name out to anyone I know who's needing care for their family, because five stars just doesn't even begin to cover it, how wonderful they are. Our caregiver still sends us Christmas cards, letters on Mom's birthday and Mother's day, and lets us know she's thinking of us and honoring Mom's memory. Can't say enough!" ~Honored Daughter
"Home Instead provided competent care for both of my parents, Jim & Mary. Although willing, my 5 siblings and I realized that with our 'real world' schedules, we needed help to care for each of our parents as their health and needs changed. We looked and found Home Instead, who treated my parents as though they were family. Shannon Wygant took a special interest in ensuring my parents and all of us were content with the caregivers, and every so often stopped by to check in. The caregivers took the extra mile to not only help with meals, housekeeping, but created activities suited to each of my parents--instead of letting them stare out the window or at the TV. All of us kids rotated weekends to be with our parents, but our minds were at ease, knowing the caregivers from Home Instead were there--during this part of my parents' life and our lives, it could have been more stressful than it was, as letting go is not easy. THANK YOU to Home Instead for the competent, compassionate care, and the integrity of all involved in the organization." ~ Sue, on behalf of John, Maureen, Peg, Jim & Mary
"The company took care of my 2 aunts for over 8 years. The care they received was the best that anyone could ask for. I was living in Tennessee at the time. The caregivers became part of the family. I slept good, knowing that my beloved aunts were getting the best care and LOVE on earth. If you would like to speak to me, leave your number at Home Instead and I will be glad to answer any questions you might have." ~ Roger
