We have been working with Home Instead for several months. They are very professional, caring for our
aging parents and the family. They understand, respond and try to help any way they can. Even when
my parents say they need no help, Susan has been able to quietly assist with many issues and become a
friend they look forward to seeing. I would highly recommend them for home care assistance.

Home Instead is a wonderful company. I feel very comfortable with the company because my mother is receiving such great care from Care Pro Gia. Megan the office manager has always been very helpful, flexible with schedule changes and very responsive! I highly recommend Home Instead!

Home Instead is an incredible company! We have had the pleasure of working with them since February of 2022. They are thorough, well-organized, compassionate, and responsive 24/7. The caregivers have been well-trained to work with my husband, who has Lewy Body Dementia. They are kind and caring individuals who my husband looks forward to seeing. We are so very grateful!

Home Instead 146 (Vista) has been excellent. Very timely, even for last minute schedule changes. Felicia, our care giver. has been more than excellent. Always on time, smile on her face, even though working with my wife’s dementia. Felicia has made many useful suggestions from her years of experience. It has been a bright light, in a otherwise difficult situation. Home Instead has my highest recommendation and appreciation.

Our experience over the past several years with the Home Instead office based in Vista, CA has been extremely positive. The caregivers are all professional, personable, and of a high caliber. Additionally, the scheduling, billings, and coordination with our Long Term Insurance carrier has been seamless and frictionless. We have worked with other Home Instead regional offices in the past, but the service provided by the Vista Home Instead office was by far the best.

Home Instead has been helping with taking care of my mom for the last 6 months and I cannot tell you how helpful their staff has been. Along with prepping dinner, the care person has helped my mom to attend Dr appointments and other personal needs. The office staff has never said no when I needed something extra done and always have answers for my questions.

Home Instead in Vista, CA takes care of my mother. Mom can be challenging and the Home Instead staff knows how to work with her to maximize her joy. Home Instead's staff has taken on responsibility which isn't normally taken on by home care staff. They have worked late to ensure Mom's safe transport from the hospital back into her home. Any problems are quickly and professionally resolved. Mom is happy with her assistants and I'm happy with their management.

My wife and I have been using Home Instead since January 2020 for her grandparents. We started with them in Philadelphia at the beginning of 2020 and they have been with us since we moved her grandparents in with us of May 2020. They have made our lives so much easier since they have become part of our family and they have treated our grandparents as such. The front office is easy to work with and have accommodated any requests that we've made. Overall, We couldn't be happier with Home Instead as they have given my family peace of mind through the transition of having our grandparents become part of our everyday family.

Several months ago I had to make the decision on how to help my parents care for themselves in their home. Home Instead stepped in to provide in home care that gave my family the reassurance of knowing my parent could stay in their home until we had to move them to a memory care community. Every staff member and care provider I worked with was professional and compassionate. I could not have made it through that phase of my parents journey without Home Instead's assistance. They were attentive and responsive at every turn....and there were many. I highly recommend Home Instead. What they provide to families in need is priceless.

With the help of Home Instead, I was able to keep my mom, at 89 y.o, in her beloved condo rather than go the assisted living route. Home Instead takes the time to get to know their clients in order to match them with a caretaker that suits their personality and needs. They also perform a safety check of the household prior and interview the client to determine what their expectations an priorities are for home care. Adriene Ricker was a caretaker for my mom between April 2020 and May 2021. She transported her to doctor's appointments, the grocery store, helped her buy gifts & cards, interpreted her answering machine messages (my mom was hard of hearing), did some light housework, played Chinese Checkers and Scrabble, navigated though all the COVID-19 restrictions and helped her stock her weekly medicine case. But most important, Adriene treated my mom with respect and kindness every step of the way providing companionship in a time where many elders felt very isolated. I lost my mom recently and I appreciate the efficiency and peace of mind that all of the Home Instead staff granted to me. I would be happy to be a reference, if anyone is considering using the services of Home Instead.

While we have temporarily stopped using Home Instead because of COVID, Bonnie and all the other folks at Home Instead have always been very responsive and quick to resolve any issues that may have arisen. If the need arises, we will definitely use them again.

Excellent care given to both my parents for over 8 years now. Now its just my mom and Home Instead hires the best caregivers in the county. Whenever our regular caregiver needs a day off, we are provided with terrific help, and Home Instead comes over to introduce and instruct them to my mom.

I'm writing this review to let everyone know about Home Instead Senior Care in Vista Calif. My wife has the late stages of Alzheimer's, I'm completely home Bound. With that, I'm not able to go out of my house for anything anytime. Bonnie Tate and Office Staff @ Home Instead Senior Care in Vista has come to my rescue on MANY occasions. They are always quick to respond, always reliable and officiant. Their staff from the office to the caregivers are always nothing short than amazing. I would no doubt or have any hesitation to recommend them highly. If you or our family are ever in need of any In Home Care, call them. They are available to answer any calls anytime day or night.

I needed a responsible adult to drive me to and from the VA Hospital in La Jolla for a GI procedure. Bonnie Tate arrived at my residence in Carlsbad on time. We entered the waiting room early and they took me right away as they had a cancellation. Bonnie stayed in the waiting room during my procedure and everything went well. The drive home was uneventful. I would definitely recommend Bonnie and Home Instead Senior Care.

Caregivers stayed with our mom through the night to make sure she stayed in bed and had companionship when she could not sleep and was confused or frightened. They were always on time, personable, easy to talk with, and prepared for our mom's needs. They kept informative logs that helped our family. Staff and caregivers were always professional and compassionate. We could trust that our mom's needs were being met, and this helped all of us manage a difficult situation.

In regards to the Vista office here in North County San Diego, I have to say I was extremely impressed with the high level of professionalism of this company. My mom was dying and we desperately needed help. Dona Apodaca communicated quickly with me, came over and assessed our needs, and worked with us until we found a person who was right for us.   When my mom died suddenly, lead manager Bonnie Tate quickly refunded the prorated portion of my deposit. I was extremely impressed with this company and, if need be, I wouldn't hesitate to call upon them again.

My mom has used Home Instead for more than 2 years and they have been fantastic. Staff is caring and really concerned about their clients. When I asked to change assistants to better fit my mom's style and personality everyone was super helpful and we have a perfect match in Lisa Gilbo who is fabulous!
