I’ve worked for Home Instead for a little over a year now and have had a great experience! They have continued to work with my schedule while still providing for our clients and do their best efforts to make sure both caregivers and clients are taken care of! They offer and provide training and support, additional training as well so that you’re comfortable! Wonderful experiences since I’ve started.

This is the third time that I have used Home Instead. Their employees are absolute rock stars! They take such good care of the people they are entrusted with. The first time I used them, was when my wife was recovering from Surgery. She wanted to be at home rather than going to a rehab facility. Since I was working, I told her the only way that I would agree to that was if somebody was with her while I was at work. It was nice to know that my wife was in good hands when I was not around. The second time my 90 year old mother-in-law was recovering from surgery, and insisted that she wanted to be in her own home. She told me that she could do this on her own, and after three days, realized that she needed more help In order to stay On her own. The woman who took care of my mother-in-law, actually became a very close confidant to her, and was with her right up until the day before she died. My wife and I highly trust and recommend the employees of Home Instead.They truly treat your loved ones as family. They can do it all from fixing meals, shopping for groceries, transportation, housekeeping, helping with showers and toileting. All done with a delicate touch and thorough supervision.

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

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.
Here's how it works with Home Instead Dayton:
- 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.
- 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.

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

Here's what sets our Dayton 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.
