I can tell you right now that Home Instead is an amazing service with amazing people providing that service. I have had the pleasure of working in Assisted Living in Muscatine for 3 years now. I've worked directly with the Home Instead employees that came into our building to care for our dear residents. They are super compassionate and treat the residents with the utmost respect as they offer outstanding care. I would hire Home Instead in a heartbeat knowing that my mom or dad were well taken care of with the best standards.

I can’t say enough good things about Home Instead and the care they are providing for my parents. Their caregivers have become such a wonderful addition to our family’s support team. They help my parents maintain a consistent routine, encourage exercise and activity, provide medication reminders, and make sure meals are prepared and part of their day. These may sound like simple things, but they make such a difference in helping my parents remain comfortable and supported at home. Most importantly, every caregiver we have met has been kind, patient, caring, and genuinely interested in my parents’ well-being. Knowing they have people looking out for them gives our family tremendous peace of mind. We are very grateful to Home Instead and the wonderful caregivers who are helping us care for our parents.

We have had Home Instead for a year for my aunt. Dominique has been with us from the first day she came home from the rehab center. She has been like family since the beginning. Home Instead has been very good to deal with any changes or needs that we have for my aunt. 😀
