Home Instead has been fantastic from the owner who is compassionate and understanding to the companions and health Assistants working with my parents who are patient and kind.

I wanted to take a moment to write a review and express my deepest gratitude to Home Instead. We hired them back in September 2015, and we are incredibly fortunate to have had the most kind and loving caregiver watch over our mother for nine years until her passing. The agency, nurses, and support staff were incredibly helpful throughout our journey. Their support during a very difficult time in our lives made everything a bit easier to manage. We cannot thank them, their staff, and our caregiver enough for everything they did for us.

Danny and his team at Home Instead are wonderful. My mom had a stroke and started declining and wanted to go home. We knew we would not be able to take care of her alone and had no idea what to do. I called Home Instead on a Saturday and Danny called me back within a couple of hours and was able to help us get things in place in a matter of days. His compassion not only for the care of our Mom but for our entire family was a remarkable. The entire staff at Home Instead truly wants to make sure all the needs of not only the patient but the family are meet and go above and beyond. They were able to make an unfortunate, overwhelming situation manageable. Our family can never truly thank them enough.

Words cannot express how happy I was to find Home Instead to provide home healthcare for my mother. They proved to be a hidden gem in the world of elder care. After experiencing services from two local agencies right in my hometown of Clinton, I was well aware of what I didn’t want. A referral to Home Instead was an answered prayer. Danny is hands-on and so very compassionate about the community he serves. He understands how hard it is to navigate taking care of elderly parents and is willing to help in any way he can. All the nurses and aides in this agency are wonderful, and when they schedule a service, you can be sure the person will show up on time and ready to work. The office staff is very efficient and well-run. I highly recommend reaching out to Home Instead if you find yourself in need of home healthcare!

The Care Pro team at Home Instead is excellent! They are courteous and extremely attentive to my needs. Stephanie, Bibi and Rene are great, empathetic people who provide me with the highest level of care and support for all of my needs. In addition, they are friendly and joyous and we are able to converse about all sorts of subjects. Their companionship is much appreciated, and I always look forward to their visits. I'm glad to have them.

- Increased forgetfulness or signs of memory loss

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.

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.

- 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.
