We used home instead for over a year with my father. We had a fantastic experience. All of their caregivers were kind and understanding. If our primary caregiver was not able to come in, they were able to quickly find coverage so we never had to worry. I would highly recommend this company for anyone looking for care for a loved one.

I am impressed with the quality of services provided by Home Instead. They sincerely care about the clients they care for and have established protocols to ensure the quality. The caregivers assigned to us have all been patient and caring. In particular, Brenda Garcia cared for mom who has anger outbursts due to dementia and borderline personality disorder. Brenda has always been patient, professional and caring. We are very glad to have her to support mom.

Home Instead has been helping me care for my husband for about a year. He has early-stage Alzheimer's and is still quite independent, although is showing decreased spatial judgement, decision making, and problem solving. While he can be left alone for a while, I really feel much more comfortable with someone with him. The carers have ALL been just fantastic-compassionate, excellent at redirecting, and providing respectful aid to him in the absolutely worst circumstances. We have a regular caregiver, Victoria, who is amazing with a great sense of humor and very knowledgeable about deescalating inappropriate behaviors. He always gives her a hug and tells her that he loves her when she leaves. This was a huge relief since sin the beginning he fought against having anyone come in. I am very pleased with the service and care provided.

We’ve been working with Home Instead for close to a year and the experience has been invaluable not only to the elder who needs help at home, but also to all of us who care for and about them. I cannot say enough good things about how Victoria Drake has guided us through the process - with kindness, empathy, and incredible expertise she uses to tailor care precisely to the unique needs of the patient. She not only helped us get started with care, but has also helped us adapt and update plans as the elder’s situation has changed. The home care professional, Staveanna, is communicative, adaptable, responsible and always upbeat, no matter the challenging situation. The last year could have gone many different directions and I am grateful to the employees at Home Instead for helping make a challenging time a little more manageable for us, and healthy for the patient.

My dad is in a rehab facility and the overnight staff was not caring for him sufficiently. Home again had a care professional who could stay overnight with him to make sure his needs were taken care of. My dad felt so much more comfortable being here without me overnight with that extra support. I can't thank Home Instead enough for helping us through this difficult time. I love how quickly communication happens between me and his care team whenever I had questions or needed to change something. I highly recommend this service if you need support for your loved one.

I have been with HomeInstead for over 5 plus years and there service and professionalism has been simply outstanding. I have had a number of different providers and over that time each has been wonderful and helped me through many different health and day to day challenges. I must specifically recognize Tatiana - my care giver for the past 3 plus years. Always on time, very broad skill set, looks for ways she can help make my life easier, doesn’t need supervision. Has had and continue to have a significant positive impact on my happiness and live a fully functional and fun lifestyle.
