I contracted private care with Home Instead for both my parents in mid-November 2025. They are also both on hospice care. My mother is the most needing of personal care. I manage this arrangement remotely (out-of-state). I also fly in to assess my parents’ conditions and care, on average, every two months. Because of my parents existing sleep pattern (they stay in bed until late morning), it was necessary to have two different shifts – a morning shift from 10:30 AM until 1:30 PM. My Mom typically would return to bed after the morning meal. My Dad would stay up for a couple of hours longer, but return to bed for an afternoon nap. Because they did not need care in the afternoon, while resting, there is an evening shift from 6:00 PM until 9:00 PM. This scheduling works for my mom’s medication schedule, the evening meal and personal care tasks. The most important aspect of my parents’ quality of life is mealtimes. I create meal menus for the caregivers so that my parents have meals that meet their preferences and my mom’s swallowing issues. So that there are meal ingredients and household items on hand, I created a grocery list that the caregivers fill in and post weekly. I fulfill the grocery and household needs by placing an order on Walmart Plus. It has taken cooperation, communication, and training to put the current staff in place for my parents. The Home Instead management and supervisors have worked very closely with me to achieve a group of caregivers that not only provide excellent care, but also add greatly to their comfort and emotional needs. Additionally, the caregivers do laundry and light housekeeping to keep the household running smoothly. The sheer number of details that are required to care for loved ones who are on hospice is staggering. Home Instead staff utilize an ongoing method to document the daily conditions to help with continuity and quality of care. The caregivers also interface with the Hospice nurse to provide appropriate care. The Home Instead caregivers - Hailey, Stephanie, Kayli, Amanda, Hazel, Marissa and Robyn (supervisor) interact with gentle humor and affection with both of my parents. You can certainly tell when caregivers TRULY enjoy providing comfort, care, and conversation to my parents. I’ve had the pleasure of working side-by-side with these wonderful women to make my parents end-of-life journey, a blessing. I will always be grateful that I chose Home Instead. When issues arise, everyone (management and staff) work with you to achieve solutions. Working with Home Instead, you can maximize your care budget and provide for your loved one’s specific needs and preferences. If I could think of one word to summarize this working relationship, I would describe it as “HARMONY”.

Lina, my caregiver has brought kindness & positivity she has brought into my life. She is such an amazing young woman & I look forward to seeing her every Wednesday. She surprises me w/ thoughtful gifts, food or a treat of some type of Peruvian Chocolate goodies. But my favorite is the pair of soft, comfy “House Socks” that when I wear them is like have a “gentle hug” on each foot. All of you at “Home Instead” are very special, kind & thoughtful folks. And as I go through some of the difficult & challenging times of getting to be 80 & the losses & loneliness I encounter, I am so grateful that you all showed up “in the nick of time” to offer unobtrusive kindness & support I need. God Bless You All, But Especially Lina!

Helpful FAQs

If you're wondering whether it's time to get a little extra help at home, you're not alone. We talk with families across Salt Lake City every week who are asking the same question. Sometimes the signs are subtle—a few missed medications, more isolation, or a change in hygiene. Other times, it's a sudden shift after an illness or hospital stay.

At Home Instead, we've helped families recognize those signs and build a care plan that supports independence—not takes it away.

Here are some common signs it might be time to consider in-home care:

  • Missed medications, meals, or appointments
  • Challenges with bathing, dressing, or mobility
  • Increased forgetfulness or signs of memory loss
  • Withdrawal from social activities
  • Stacks of unopened mail or unpaid bills
  • Family caregiver stress or burnout


The good news? Help doesn't have to mean moving out. Our Care Pros help older adults stay safe and supported right in their own homes.

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.

If you're doing your best to support a loved one at home, it's normal to wonder if bringing in help means giving something up. But in our experience working with families in the Salt Lake City area since 1997, we've seen the opposite: in-home care can help you get back what matters most—quality time, peace of mind, and space to breathe.

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 Salt Lake City, staying home isn't just about comfort—it's about staying connected to what matters.


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

We've delivered countless hours of care across Salt Lake City—and we're proud to offer a team you can count on.

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 Salt Lake City:
  1. We start with a conversation. We'll meet with you in your home—and listen closely. What does your loved one need help with? What do they enjoy? What's most important to them? This free consultation helps us create a customized care plan.
  2. We build your care team. We'll match your loved one with a trained, compassionate Care Pro based on skills, schedule, and compatibility. Many of our Care Pros speak Spanish and bring years of experience supporting chronic conditions or memory care.
  3. We start care quickly. We can often begin care within 48 hours. Services may include bathing, dressing, transportation, meal prep, medication reminders, and more. We also offer 24-hour care, dementia support, and hospice assistance.
  4. We stay connected. Our Salt Lake City office is available 24/7 for support. Your dedicated Care Manager will stay in touch to make sure everything's working—and adjust care as needs change.

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 Salt Lake City 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.
  • They show up, and we've got your back. If your regular Care Pro can't make it, we'll send a qualified backup—no scrambling on your end. Our 24/7 support line means help is always a call away.

Whether it's help with a shower, a ride to your local medical center, or someone to listen to stories from the garden, our Care Pros are here to bring comfort, dignity, and connection. We’ve been caring for the community since 1997.
