Peter K.
Jim K. and the team at Home Instead are caring and compassionate caregivers who understand the sensitivity and flexibility required to take care of a family member who is (perhaps suddenly) in need of help. When my parent got injured and was coming home from the hospital for a long rehab, a close friend who is a geriatric social worker referred Home Instead to us. I could not have been more grateful. The communication, the attention to detail, the light touch, all went a long way in getting my parent back on their feet and able to regain some independence. Throughout the process, whenever there was a question, or concern, or even scheduling request-I could get a hold of Jim K. with ease and things were handled immediately. If you find yourself in the unfortunate position of needing home care, the silver-lining will be working with Jim and the Home Instead team. They're fantastic.

Jim and his staff have been so attentive and compassionate. We could not be happier with their service and feel very fortunate to have “found them” when we were looking for caregivers. The caregivers are professional, respectful and genuinely nice, caring people. I highly recommend Home Instead for whatever your situation is.

I wanted to write a quick review of Home Instead. When my father turned 90 he was still living alone but needed help around the house on occasion. Home instead helped us work with his VA benefit so he could have someone come into his home to help him a few days a week. We chose Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Home Instead was so understanding and flexible working with my father until we had the perfect match for him. Linda became almost like a relative to our family because she was so caring and helpful. She helped my dad around the house, drove him to the store to shop and provided companionship! My father lived another 5 years after 90 and I believe Linda and Home Instead were a big part of him being able to enjoy his final years. Thank you Linda & Home Instead!

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

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.
