Linda M.
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!

Here's when home care might be the right step:
- You're juggling caregiving with work, family, and your own well-being

- 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?
