My dad passed away in February after living with ALS and frontotemporal dementia. I've spent the last several months grieving, and I'm finally ready to share how grateful I am to the incredible people at Home Instead who helped care for my dad during the final months of his life. I will never forget what they did for our family. My dad lived in my home for his end-of-life care. I cared for him independently for almost a year, but as his ALS progressed, his needs became more than I could manage alone. Choosing an agency was an incredibly personal decision. I interviewed several, and Home Instead was hands down the best choice I could have made. I am SO glad I chose them! My dad received care from October through February. We started with 20 hours a week and eventually needed care 12 hours a day, seven days a week, sometimes with 24-hour shifts. When his caregivers first started, he was still walking. Within just a few months, his ALS progressed so rapidly that he became completely paralyzed and dependent on a BiPAP machine around the clock. His care needs were incredibly high, and the physical demands were immense. My dad had substantial VA benefits, and anyone who has navigated the VA knows what a challenge that can be. Home Instead was incredibly helpful and cooperative in making sure we received the hours of care he was entitled to. That support made an enormous difference during an already overwhelming time. But what meant the most to me were the caregivers themselves. Steve, Amos, Malcolm, and Levi treated my dad with kindness, dignity, and respect. My dad preferred male caregivers, and each of these men was wonderful with him. I remember them all so fondly and will always be grateful they were part of my dad's final chapter. I especially want to recognize Steve. He was my dad's favorite, which says a lot because my dad could sometimes be difficult with him due to the effects of his illnesses. Steve was patient, compassionate, and truly exceptional. He went above and beyond for our family. He didn't just show up to do a job; he genuinely showed up for my dad and for us. I will never forget that. Those five months were the hardest of my life. I cared for my dad throughout the night, barely slept, and watched someone I love lose his abilities at a devastating pace. I was exhausted and heartbroken, trying to make every day as comfortable and meaningful as possible for him. Knowing my dad was in loving, capable hands during the day gave me a sense of relief I can hardly describe. After months of being his primary caregiver, I could finally take a breath knowing someone was caring for him with the dignity and compassion he deserved. That peace of mind was priceless. When you invite caregivers into your home to help care for a parent at the end of their life, you are trusting them with one of the most vulnerable chapters of your family's story. Home Instead earned that trust. To Steve, Amos, Malcolm, and everyone who helped coordinate my dad's care: thank you. Thank you for caring for my dad, preserving his dignity, and making an impossibly difficult time a little more bearable. My dad is gone, but I will always remember the people who helped me care for him. I am forever grateful Home Instead was part of our journey, and I wholeheartedly recommend them to any family navigating end-of-life care for someone they love.

Joy, was such a relief. I really appreciate how she came in a new exactly what I needed. Thank you so much.

I’m a disabled veteran who is in congestive heart failure more than two years. I have had the pleasure to have the best caregiver named Jane H. She has completely transformed my life and her support has kept my hospital stays shorter and this has kept me in my home without having to be placed in the nursing care system. A great staff.

I love the current care we receive through Home Instead Fed Way. I would like to especially recognize Miss Beverly, Miss Patricia, and Jaheim. We have been through the gamut of caregivers with both my parents needing help, and you can tell these 3 individuals really care about the work they put out and the care they give to their clients. My family feels extremely blessed to have had these caregivers take us on. Great work finding these people, Home Instead.

Excellent care and always willing to accommodate schedule needs. Hannah, Megan and Brian are so wonderful and I highly recommend this company.
