Our family has had a wonderful experience with this in-home care service for my dad. The caregivers are compassionate, dependable, and treat him with genuine kindness and respect. They provide us with peace of mind knowing he’s receiving excellent care while remaining in the comfort of his own home. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and caring in-home support for a loved one.

Top-notch, kind and compassionate care! The caregivers take a vested interest in my mother's personal interests and are very skilled in memory care. They actively help her enjoy the crafts she has always loved doing, but can't always remember due to cognitive decline. They discovered some sorely needed home repairs within the first 2 days of being hired. They stay on top of needed household items and grocery needs, and remember all her favorite food items. They even help her care for her little dog. Today my mother is going to the beach for the first time in years. She is able to go to church again, which is very important to her. After a very poor experience with another service, I am thrilled with Home Instead. The difference in the level of care between the two services is night and day. My mother's house is tidy, her clothes are clean, and she is smiling, laughing engaging in conversation again. She is painting and knitting again. She loves having her helpers! Highly recommend this premium level service who go the extra mile to make my mother's golden years shine as brightly as possible!

My mom's caregiver, Jolee, was fantastic. She had a great personality and was always engaging and helpful.

Helpful FAQs
The office supports approximately 65 Care Pros, and the leadership team brings more than 40 years of home care experience. Families can talk with a local team about everyday help, memory support, companion care, respite, hospital-to-home support, or 24-hour care.
The conversation starts with the situation in front of the family, not with a preset package. The team discusses what the older adult wants to keep doing, where safety is becoming harder, and which schedule could work in the Guilford area.
Our Guilford office is VA credentialed. A family can contact the team to discuss the veteran's daily routines, the help needed at home, and whether the office's services may fit the situation.
VA credentialing does not mean every veteran automatically qualifies for every service or that coverage is guaranteed. Eligibility, authorization, and payment depend on the applicable VA program and the individual's circumstances.
A Care Pro may help with bathing, dressing, toileting, meals, mobility, companionship, light housekeeping, errands, or transportation when those needs are part of the care plan. The visit can be practical and personal at the same time.
Care Pros encourage clients to do what they comfortably can. That matters when someone is trying to remain in a familiar Guilford home and does not want help to become a loss of control.
Timing varies based on the care needs and available staffing. The office has described its team as responsive and flexible, but a start date still depends on finding an available Care Pro who fits the requested schedule.
The first step is to explain what has changed and how quickly support is needed. The local team can then discuss the care plan, scheduling options, and whether the requested service is available.
