My wife, Tracy, hired Home Instead senior care to provide in home care for her mother, Jayne. There is not enough good things we can say about the excellence of care and professionalism that Home Instead brings to their clients. The first and foremost thing that we both agree on is that Home Instead is a Christ centered organization; which means, Home Instead provides love to their clients.It is the foundation for caring. You cannot pay “caregivers” to be family to your loved one. That is a spiritual calling that has to be answered by one’s heart. I wish all of what used to be “healthcare” would return to this basic principle. Jayne had the best care at home that not any single nursing home, assisted living, etc., could ever dream of. Tracy and I were comfortable leaving her mother in the hands of her loving caregiver Sandra A. and the other care givers that Home Instead provided. We knew when we walked out of the house that Jayne would be just as well cared for with them as she would be under our personal care. Jayne was kept perfectly safe and happy under their loving watch. Anytime that we had a question or concern, Caleb used surgical precision to address them and handle them immediately. Mary Jane provided excellent nursing and home medical safety guidance/ recommendations. We had several of the Home Instead caregivers help us throughout almost a decade of care and dealing with Jayne’s condition. I will name the ones that I personally remember and apologize for ones I can’t remember: Lisa, Nancy, Coleen and Sharon. Every Home Instead staff member that we encountered seemed to understand what we were going through and strived to meet our needs. We feel like they are part of our family and will miss them all dearly. In the end, Sandra was there crying and hugging my wife to comfort her. Sandra loved Jayne and was the best friend she could ever have. We will hopefully keep in touch with the Home Instead family. God bless Home Instead and everyone that is a part of their family!

Everyone was so caring and so professional.. They said they will be there for me as long as I need their service, I would highly recommend them to all my friends who are in need of a home care. The staff and the owners have always worked with me to accommodate my needs.
P. Q.
Our mother was recently under hospice care in our home. We utilized Home Instead to help us with her care, especially at night. We found the caregivers compassionate, professional, and kind. They were well-trained to care for our mother's needs. We would like to give a special recognition to Ciera, Kamisha, and Nerlene for their wonderful care. The company went out of its way to help us.

During what was a very difficult time for our family, the team at Home Instead was there for us in every imaginable way. Paul runs an amazing organization filled with people who truly care about their patients and families. This is not a job but rather a calling. Paul, Emmitt, Pam, Jean, Neda, Myeline, and the entire visiting staff made sure our families needs were met. They treated our mother with dignity and kindness while caring for all of the emotions of the family. We could not have gotten through the past weeks without their kindness and care. We are eternally grateful. If you need home care for your family, do not hesitate to contact Paul.

I am very pleased with the services that we received from Home instead based out of Leesburg, Florida. That is not to say that we didn’t have any issues at all, but more to complement them when an issue arose as to how they handled it Homestead worked very hard to find a good caretaker match for my mother. They were very responsive with evey call and question. They prioritize answering the phone, which I have found to be rare And appreciated., Though we were not clients for long, we are thankful for this experience and the help that they provided to our mom. I would like to specifically thank John, Caleb, and Yunil.. your kindness, professionalism, and care are the reason I rate Home instead of five out of five.

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.
Here's how it works with Home Instead Leesburg:

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 Leesburg 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.
