We have been using Home Instead for over a year now, and they have exceeded all of our expectations. What sets them apart is their incredible management team—they are responsive, accountable, and manage scheduling perfectly. The caregivers are top-notch, always arriving on time and genuinely engaging with my loved one. It is incredibly comforting to work with a company that prioritizes human lives and patient well-being above everything else. They treat caregiving as a true calling, not just a business transaction. If you want peace of mind and top-tier care for your loved one, I cannot recommend them highly enough. Also, the owner of this company is completely involved and I have spoke to her on a couple of occasions when they would reach out personally to see how things were going. THIS IS A COMPANY THAT DESERVES ALL THE RECOGNITION. Honestly I can't say enough about them!!!!! Keep up the GREAT work:)

My Mother has been a client of Home Instead Erie for 5 years as a Share Care Home resident. She shares a ranch home with two other Home Instead clients, and the experience has been nothing short of exceptional. Mom turned 101 in December and I can personally attest to the attentive, compassionate, and loving care provided by the caregivers. Communication with the staff is second to none-any occasional concerns are addressed immediately, and kindness truly abounds. We are deeply humbled that everyone at Home Instead Erie loves Mom as if she were their own family member. This level of care is truly exceptional and gives our family complete peace of mind. Thank you to everyone involved in Mom’s care! Dave and Beth D.

The staff at Home Instead in Erie are amazing. We recently used their services over an 8 week period to assist a relative in getting to/from critical medical appointments. They are very professional and were incredibly flexible when appointments had to be changed. They always told us that "they were here to help us manage the situation" regardless of what comes up. They truly held to that commitment and took care of everything. Thank you Home Instead! We will absolutely call on your services again.
