“In your calm, competent manner you took charge of the most difficult situation imaginable. As we are about to celebrate my mother’s 94th birthday I’ve been reflecting on the dignity you have given to both my parents during the end stages of their lives. I sleep soundly at night knowing that my mom is not only in capable hands but that she is treated with respect and love.” - Elaine Emmi, Client’s daughter
“Among those, you truly stand out. You were critical in making the transition from hospital to home care. I will never forget when we met with you at the hospital and you made it clear the kind of care we should expect for my parents. It made all the difference for our family and I am extremely grateful.” - Bill Oliver, Client’s son
“Dad fell and my 93 year old mother needed a caregiver to assist her while dad recuperated in the nursing home. The caregiver was punctual, caring and compassionate. She helped mother cope with the separation from my father. When I refer you now I will do so based on my personal and favorable experience.” - James Bohrer, Client’s son
“Sarah knew how much my mother cherished her houseplants and the birds, squirrels and chipmunks that frequented her feeders. So she set up a feeder just outside my mom’s bedside window. Now they laugh together at the antics of the animals that come to feed at it.” - Alex V., Client’s daughter
“Since Home Instead Senior Care came into the picture it’s less stressful. It’s nicer. I talk to my mom and she’s busy-she’s not just waiting for a call from me. It’s finally back to the balanced mother/daughter relationship we’d been missing.” -Anonymous, Client’s daughter

“You have been part of our lives for at least two years and we are indebted to the love and care you have shown to my parents. Without your care they would not have been able to live the independent lives they lived. Thank you. The floral basket sent to the church was magnificent. I have so enjoyed seeing the white and red flowers. It was something Mom would have loved. Thank you for all your love, support and care. With heartfelt love and gratitude,” - Stephanie Dyott, Client’s daughter
“Thank you all so much for the wonderful care you gave to my mom over the past year. She was able to stay in her home thanks to many people caring for her.

It is impressive to meet so many people from Home Instead Senior Care and to realize that each and everyone always gave their best. It truly does make things easier for families.

“My mother and I were very fortunate to have the help of Home Instead Senior Care for most of the year 2007. Mom had been diagnosed with lung cancer and was very weak. As a nurse, I knew it was not good for her to be home alone while I was at work. I called Home Instead Senior Care and they were there promptly to admit her to their service. Mom had several nice caregivers, but mom always thought of them as friends first. The people were efficient as well as compassionate. The service was extremely dependable. I would recommend their company to anyone in need. They made what was a difficult situation work for us, and we met our goal of keeping Mom at home where she wanted to be.” -Hope Drahos, R.N., Client’s daughter
“I have been using the caregiving services of Home Instead Senior Care for well over 2 years for the care of my father (Jon Cherkala) and for a period of time the caregiving of my mother (Gloria Cherkala). I have always been extremely impressed with the professionalism of the Home Instead Senior Care staff. This extends from the top (Janet Barrows) to the individual caregivers as well as the office staff. The caregivers who have looked over my parents have been conscientious, feelingful, well trained, prompt on their timelines, and have become personal friends. The Home Instead Senior Care organization and staff have not only assisted in the caregiving of my parents, but have allowed me a certain amount of peace of mind as I am an only child with many responsibilities. Whenever I would need anything they have always been there for me 24/7. The proper and respectful caregiving of loved ones is one of the greatest gifts that can be given and Home Instead Senior Care has allowed this “gift” to be accomplished. Therefore, I would highly recommend, without reservation, Home Instead Senior Care as an outstanding service.” – Mike Cherkala, Client’s son

"My spouse has dementia and that requires extra handling. The people they sent to us were very proficient in what was needed for my wife. They sent people who had experience with dementia." -Anonymous
