Home Instead's Friend's Club has been such a blessing to our family! The social interaction has been so good for my mom. She returns home elevated in mood.The staff are so caring and so good at what they do, providing enjoyable activities, delicious lunches and a very pleasant space. The program has been a lifesaver for me as well, providing much needed respite. Thank you so much, Home Instead!

I recently used Home Instead for home health aides for my husband. Two wonderful aides, Amber and Jenn, worked with him for the past two months. They were both extremely kind, careful, and attentive plus an absolute pleasure to be with. We will miss them dearly! Home Instead also provided excellent organization and support. I highly recommend them!

My mom attended Home Instead’s Dementia Day Program on Wendell Avenue and absolutely loved it! Sadly she recently passed away at 92. Jamie and Liz are wonderful caregivers and provide a fun and loving environment. They allow clients to decide an activity that they prefer and do not dictate a set program. It really is like being at home but the socialization is also provided which is very important. I can’t begin to express the depth of my appreciation for the loving care and kindness my mother received from Liz and Jamie. Thank you is not enough! They are fantastic.

We've worked with Home Instead for over a year and a half to provide help for our 92 year old mother. Mom's Care Pros have been unfailingly kind, caring, and professional, and great problem-solvers. The Home Instead office staff are always responsive and helpful in ensuring our mother has the care she needs, including when her needs have changed over time. With Home Instead, my siblings and I feel assured that our mother is getting great care and we are able to rest easier. The team has been invaluable.

Home Instead has been extremely helpful with providing care and support services for our parent. The care providers have been wonderful at finding a way to connect with our parent and providing cooking, cleaning, shopping, transportation, and companionship. The daily log keeps us informed of tasks and how our parent is doing. The management is responsive to our requests and questions, and has been able to quickly provide replacements when the care providers turned over. As children living far away from a parent that wants to continue to reside in their lifelong home, Home Instead has been essential for providing us with great peace of mind with wonderful care at a good value for our parent.

- Missed medications, meals, or appointments

- Increased forgetfulness or signs of memory loss

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.
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-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
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.

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 Pittsfield 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.
