Wendy F.
I would recommend Home Instead. The gentleman who came and took the info needed to get started was kind and insightful. Answered any questions we had. He told us Aiden would be out for our first evening shift. Aiden was on time and very kind to my dad. The morning shift change came and we had Emmanuel. Another great guy. He was there for my dad’s final breath. He came and got us when my dad’s breathing became very shallow and hard to find. We all made it to the bedroom to see my dad before he passed. Home Instead was very good to us. It was last minute and they came thru. Thank you Home Instead.

We have used Home Instead since 2023 and would highly recommend their services. The office crew help keep consistency in the caregivers (thanks Capri), help us navigate challenges (thanks Karen) and insurance/billing questions (thanks Shannon). All the caregivers are amazingly patient and kind to my mom, special shout out to Clare, Suzanne, Maritza, Cindy, and Pam who have been with us so long.

My grandmother Carol has been using home instead for over a year for her home care. We’ve been so pleased with her main caregivers. Terry, Elizabeth, Amy, Gabriele, and Maritza have been so dependable, and outstanding in their care. We couldn’t be more grateful for their care and highly recommend them to anyone who might be needing their services.

Before shifts begin, families learn who is coming and get a short background. The first visit includes an in-person introduction, then immediate follow-up with both client and Care Pro.
