"Luz has been caring for my mom for about more than a year now. She is amazing and we feel very blessed to have someone like Luz helping care for my mom. Luz is patient, friendly, and goes above and beyond at all times. When my mom had cancer, Luz would help provide additional care support. She’s truly exceptional and one of a kind. Thank you Luz for all your help!"

"Dawn is a wonderful caregiver for my mother Marie! I don't know how we would get by without her. Marie really enjoys her company, and looks forward to seeing Dawn on the days she comes for her caregiving. Dawn keeps Marie engaged. Marie says Dawn gives her the best showers and looks forward to her time with her each and every day. I don't know what we would do without Dawn."

"We wanted to express our thanks for the caregivers for my mom. Each one has been extremely competent, dependable, and has had a heartfelt concern for our mom. All of my sisters rest easier knowing that the caregivers for our mom are there to keep her safe and to assist with her daily needs. They are consistently in good humor and have safety and compassion at the forefront of their thoughts. The office managers are very communicative and are ready and willing to help with our requests to modify schedules, care routines, etc. We truly appreciate the flexibility and professionalism and compassion of everyone at Home Instead Senior Care."

“Assisting people is something that’s always been in me. I feel truly fulfilled when I can help someone in need. I especially cherish the conversations where clients share stories from their past—they just want someone to listen. Through these moments, I’ve learned how much they care, how deeply they love, and how much they deserve our respect.”
