We were very pleased with the responsiveness and teamwork by the staff at Home Instead. My family member had a full-time 24 hour live -in aide. Everyone at Home Instead bent-over backwards to help our family and respond to our needs. We highly recommend this home health company.

The level of care my mother received from Anna Tomczak, her Home Instead home health care professional, went way beyond anything our family anticipated and went way beyond this 5-star review. Anna not only provided excellent personal care services, household help, transportation to appointments and meal preparation, but also (and most importantly) created a positive experience for my mom that supported and enhanced her quality of life. Anna showed true compassion and knowledge, was always on time, was extremely flexible with her schedule (based on my mom's needs) and was my mom's "cheerleader." Anna made sure my mom did her physical therapy exercises (and did them along with her); gently cared for her swollen legs and helped ease her back pain (perfect positioning of pillows and more); went with her to doctor's appointments (and took detailed notes so that she knew how best to care for her); made sure she had clean clothes each day (and even helped dye her hair); ensured she was eating nutritious meals (particularly the banana for potassium); talked to her about her life and family (chatting & laughing - my mom was impressed with how "smart" Anna was & how many languages she knew - and she loved sharing and looking at photos and videos of each others' grandkids); shared stories about cooking and baking (even made delicious homemade pierogis with my mom); always left everything clean and spotless around the house (mom loved a clean house and attention to detail) and danced with her (we will never forget Chubby Checker and "the twist"). Anna was so much more than my mom's "home health care aide." She became part of our family that built a meaningful and caring relationship with all of us. Thank you, Anna!! Thanks, too, to nurse Carissa and to the staff at Home Instead - Davina, Amanda & Belle - for providing such supportive and outstanding service. Our family highly recommends Home Instead of Waretown!

Mom was in moderate stage Alzheimer’s Disease and dad needed a break. We heard great things about Home Instead so we reached out. Our entire experience, from scheduling to intake evaluation to caregivers and communication were all top notch. Mom’s caregiver, Jeanie, was so caring. She became mom’s companion. The two would walk together, play cards, pick on dad(!) and just chat. Jeanie became part of our family. As time went on, she confirmed our suspicions, that mom was declining faster. We sadly had to move on to assisted living and now memory care. But that year or so mom had with Jeanie was a special time. The care from Home Instead bridged the gap and allowed her to remain at home longer, bringing her comfort. We are forever grateful. My family highly recommends Home Instead of Waretown.

Helpful FAQs

If you're wondering whether it's time to get a little extra help at home, you're not alone. We talk with families across Waretown every week who are asking the same question. Sometimes the signs are subtle—a few missed medications, more isolation, or a change in hygiene. Other times, it's a sudden shift after an illness or hospital stay.

At Home Instead, we've helped families recognize those signs and build a care plan that supports independence—not takes it away.

Here are some common signs it might be time to consider in-home care:

  • Missed medications, meals, or appointments
  • Challenges with bathing, dressing, or mobility
  • Increased forgetfulness or signs of memory loss
  • Withdrawal from social activities
  • Stacks of unopened mail or unpaid bills
  • Family caregiver stress or burnout


The good news? Help doesn't have to mean moving out. Our Care Pros help older adults stay safe and supported right in their own homes.

Still unsure? A care consultation is a great place to start. We'll listen, answer your questions, and help you explore your options—with no pressure or obligation.

If you're doing your best to support a loved one at home, it's normal to wonder if bringing in help means giving something up. But in our experience working with families in the Waretown area since 2008, we've seen the opposite: in-home care can help you get back what matters most—quality time, peace of mind, and space to breathe.

Here's when home care might be the right step:

  • You're juggling caregiving with work, family, and your own well-being
  • Your loved one's needs are growing beyond what you can manage alone
  • You're noticing signs of burnout, frustration, or fatigue
  • You want a consistent, trusted partner to rely on

Home Instead Care Pros provide support that fits your routine—not the other way around. Whether it's meal prep, a walk, or help getting to appointments, our care is designed to enhance—not replace—your role.

You don't have to wait for a crisis. Most families who start care with us say they wish they had done it sooner.

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 Waretown, staying home isn't just about comfort—it's about staying connected to what matters.


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:

  • One-on-one attention in familiar surroundings
  • A flexible schedule that fits your lifestyle
  • Support with meals, mobility, personal care, and companionship
  • Help from Care Pros who get to know your loved one—building trust and routine


In-home care vs. hiring a private caregiver

Hiring an independent caregiver can seem less expensive—but it comes with risk. As the employer, you'd be responsible for payroll, insurance, and coverage when they can't show up.

With Home Instead, we handle everything:

  • Professional hiring, training, and supervision
  • Background checks, insurance, and 24/7 backup support
  • Personalized matches and no long-term contracts

We've delivered countless hours of care across Waretown—and we're proud to offer a team you can count on.

In-home care is all about helping your loved one stay independent, comfortable, and safe—right in the place they know and love. From simple companionship to specialized dementia support, our Care Pros are here to help make life easier.



Here's how it works with Home Instead Waretown:
  1. We start with a conversation. We'll meet with you in your home—and listen closely. What does your loved one need help with? What do they enjoy? What's most important to them? This free consultation helps us create a customized care plan.
  2. We build your care team. We'll match your loved one with a trained, compassionate Care Pro based on skills, schedule, and compatibility. Many of our Care Pros speak Spanish and bring years of experience supporting chronic conditions or memory care.
  3. We start care quickly. We can often begin care within 48 hours. Services may include bathing, dressing, transportation, meal prep, medication reminders, and more. We also offer 24-hour care, dementia support, and hospice assistance.
  4. We stay connected. Our Waretown office is available 24/7 for support. Your dedicated Care Manager will stay in touch to make sure everything's working—and adjust care as needs change.

It's care on your terms. Ready to get started?

At Home Instead, we don't just send a caregiver—we introduce you to a Care Pro. It's a title we take seriously, because our team members bring more than just help—they bring heart, consistency, and respect for the life your loved one has built.



Here's what sets our Waretown Care Pros apart:
  • They're trained and trustworthy. Each Care Pro goes through a thorough background check, drug screening, and extensive training—including how to support Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and chronic health conditions.
  • They're employees—not contractors. That means we handle taxes, scheduling, and supervision. We also provide liability insurance and workers' comp, so you're fully protected.
  • They're matched with care. We take time to match each Care Pro based on your loved one's personality, preferences, and needs. It's not just about filling a shift—it's about building a relationship.
  • They show up, and we've got your back. If your regular Care Pro can't make it, we'll send a qualified backup—no scrambling on your end. Our 24/7 support line means help is always a call away.

Whether it's help with a shower, a ride to your local medical center, or someone to listen to stories from the garden, our Care Pros are here to bring comfort, dignity, and connection. We’ve been caring for the community since 2008.
