The carecí de Geraldine is kind and attentive to all of my father’s needs. The staff on the phone and the supervising staff are equally kind and attentive.

Just finished up a three-year plus relationship with the Metairie Home Instead franchise. They were fantastic from the get-go. Communication was exceptional. At first, they were there to assist my mom in caring for my dad who suffered from aphasia. After dad passed, they stayed on to help twice a week with my mom. We only stopped when it came time to move mom to an assisted living facility. Mom grew very attached to her primary Home Instead caregivers. First, there was Viola, who mom absolutely loved. But Viola, unfortunately, suffered a broken foot ans was out of the rotation for a while. During the interim, Rose took Viola's place as our regular Tuesday/Thursday provider. And mom promptly fell in love with Rose, too. Mom liked Rose so much that, on the rare occasions when Rose had a conflict, mom opted to go without care rather than have a different provider sub in. That's not a knock on the Home Instead bench--it's really just that mom felt really comfortable with Rose and had reached an age where the thought of learning someone new was stressful to her.

Home Instead did a fantastic job with my parents. They were both in their late 90's and wanted to enjoy their final years together and in their home. The staff helped take care of them and made sure life was comfortable and safe.

Our family has been so pleased with Home Instead Metairie and their care givers. Everyone from the beginning of the process has been so professional and caring and so helpful. I can't remember everyone's names but Hillary and Ashley and Amber in the office were delightful. Our Caretaker Lynette has been phenomenal. She swooped in and knew exactly what needed to be done and how to handle it all with grace. It's challenging because she is not only handling my father but my elderly mother as well! Lynette had a sub one day Irion who was also fabulous and I'm just so impressed with their professionalism throughout this whole process. Home Instead is lucky to have these great employees representing them. They're doing it right!

Going with HomeInstead was the best decision I could ever make for my father Jack. Brenda and Sabrina were his favorites. They both took their time and were very patient with him. I had peace of mind knowing that he was being well taken care of. Linda also did a wonderful job of counseling with him on his care. I would highly recommend HomeInstead to anyone looking for Senior Care.

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 Metairie 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 Metairie area since 2000, 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 Metairie, 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 Metairie—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 Metairie:
  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 Metairie 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 Metairie 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 2000.
