Gentlemen, Norma Darling has been my wife's caretaker for well over a year. She has been fabulous. She is never late for work and provides excellent service. Norma is a self starter, knowns her job and performs it well with little to no direction from me. She never losses her composure. Always attending to my wife's needs cheerfully without complaint. Norma is a true professional with great warmth. Our entire family is delighted "Home Instead" assigned, Norma, Rose's caretaker.

My husband and I are very satisfied with the level of service provided by caregiver Garth Harriott. He has proven to be reliable and willing to "go the extra mile" in caring for Pat. They have a good relationship like friends, not client and caregiver. He is certainly worthy of praise and reward.

I have only wonderful things to say about Home Instead and the specific care giver that has been taking care of my 90 year old mom for the past two years. She has improved my mom's quality of life, her health is better and she and Mom have come to love one another. She is knowledgeable, attentive, compassionate and caring at all times. Having her, has allowed Mom to stay in her home until she chooses to leave. I am eternally grateful for this fabulous care giver who we all feel has become an integral part of our family

Mr. Brian Trainor, I wanted to write to thank you for the outstanding service you provided for my mother. Debra was the most wonderful care giver – she became a family member. Your firm was there when we needed the help and we will always be grateful.

We used home instead for companion care for a family member. They were so well organized and easy to communicate. Above all, the companion was so well matched to my family member. We had difficulty communicating with him due to dementia and our companion took the time to help him find the words. Her care and compassion gave us back that ability to connect. I cannot recommend this agency more highly.

Home Instead Westchester County is truly amazing with the phenomenal aide services they provide to families with members with degenerative illnesses like dementia! Special shout out to Brian Trainor and his brilliant staff at Home Instead Westchester, Angela Halstead who arranged for our beyond amazing aide and her scheduling and Maritza Cordero who provided us with helpful resources and advice throughout, as they did their utmost to make sure our family was in the best caregiving hands! We absolutely loved their aide for our dementia diagnosed family member as she took care of him attentively and responsibly, and she became part of our family! Bravo Home Instead Westchester!

We are ever so grateful to you for sending Doreen to take of our mom!

I hired Home Instead Senior Care in White Plains for my cousin. They offer laundry services, food and companionship, and taking him to medical facilities if needed. The caregiver also provides overall care for a 4-hour period. My cousin told me that the caregiver is very good and a very nice person.

Annette and Hugo are very good with my father. He's 100 years old and needs a lot of TLC.  They are very caring and compassionate.
5-star review - By Rose W.
I wish to extend my gratitude and appreciation to Home Instead for the care your agency provided for my father. Your personal attention and placement of Jeanette Kessler was truly appreciated as she was the perfect fit for my Dad. I wish I had contacted you a lot sooner as the companionship and care she gave to my Dad was outstanding. She is a very special person. I have suggested your agency to many people as I feel you truly care and that the people that represent you are people with a special calling.

I needed someone to help with my father as he came home from a rehab facility. The folks at Home Instead answered my call, got me in touch with the right people, and hooked us up with a home health care worker that could not be better suited to our needs. Thanks again Home Instead!!

I'm very pleased with Home Instead! I have a wonderful caregiver. We've been together for 3 years!
5-star review - By Pete D.
We wanted to thank you for the fine service that you supplied, and let you know again the Home Instead stood head and shoulders above the other agencies in the Westchester area that we had used. Consistency in the form of the same CAREGiver showing up each week, and the dependability that results from each of your CAREGivers having their own transportation are two of the main factors that set your agency apart from the rest. That certainly goes a long way toward making a difficult situation more bearable.
 
Rest assured that as a result of having such a positive experience with your agency, we will certainly be recommending Home Instead Senior Care to any friends and acquaintances that require this type of assistance. Again, thanks for all of your help.

To have someone in your house is a difficult thing. From the moment you came into ours we knew you were someone we could trust. As time went on you became more than Bob's caregiver, you became one of the family, a friend. You are a rare and beautiful gem. Tending to his comfort and health in so many countless ways. You made him feel safe and loved. I will never forget you for that.

5-star review - By Geraldine S.
I would like to thank you for the very professional attention of your office staff, in particular your coordinator Angela. She was always very responsive to our needs and requirements, and efficiently handled necessary personnel substitutes when aides had to cancel or change dates for any reason.
 
I would also like to commend the three CAREGivers who were here on weekend days and nights: Brenda, Cindy and Keitha. Each with a different personality, they treated my husband with tender and expert care, kindness, patience and good humor. They held to those standards to the very end until he passed away. He, and I, always felt confident in their care and were grateful for their help.

In today's world, it's difficult to find caregivers/companions who care, are concerned and truly enjoy what they do.
 
I want you to know you have a "gem" of an employee in Dom Davis. He is delightful, caring, funny and truly dedicated. My husband is so happy on Monday and Wednesday when Dom is coming. They shoot pool, play cards, go to lunch and just talk about "guy" things. Dom is like a member of our family and we love him dearly.
5-star review - By Deborah A.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you at Home Instead Senior Care for providing our family with outstanding service in caring for my Dad, Joseph. He was insistent from the beginning in trying to convince us that he did not need any help, so we knew it was not going to be an easy transition for him. From the first day that your employee, Dom, came in to meet my Dad, I knew you had made the perfect match.
 
Dom was professional, kind, gentle and respectful at all times. We felt at ease whenever he was on duty and always knew he was giving him the best possible care. He made each day spent with him special in many ways, from singing a show tune to playing checkers. During the 7 months he cared for him, he always seemed to keep him laughing and keep the spark of life going for him, even during the rougher times in the last few months of my Dad's life. Dom is a very special person who has a way of caring straight from the heart and also was a support for our family right to the last days. We all feel blessed that our paths have crossed.
 
We also want to thank you for sending Stephanie to us. Although she was caring for my Dad only on the weekend for the last few months, we got to know her well and knew she was very special. I can't thank her enough for her love and special care she gave to my Dad the last few weeks and especially the last day of his life. She supported us during this emotional time with professionalism and kindness, and being fully aware and compassionate to our feelings and needs.
 
Also, I appreciate all the care and concern that Roberta demonstrated from getting us started with care in the beginning and checking in with me and offering support often throughout the whole time.

Home Instead Senior Care put my family at ease during a very difficult time. We didn't want Grandma to be moved to a nursing home, but with our busy lives and jobs we couldn't be there enough. Thank you to the entire team that has helped keep my Grandma home instead!

Very professional on the phone with all staff. Have an owner who is hands on and very perceptive. Keitha is exceptional with her quality of care and it shows. My mother is very hard to please and she loves her. I would absolutely recommend this company coming from a nursing background. They are wonderful.

Home Instead personnel has shown compassion and professionalism every step of the way. This has enabled my mother to continue her wish in remaining in her home. As I live 200 miles away, Home Instead has given me great peace of mind knowing that my mother is being helped and looked after.

I wanted to tell you how pleased we are to have Cordel take care of our mother. Since Cordel has arrived, our mother is much more relaxed and healthy. Cordel is doing an excellent job in all respects. We hope that she can remain with our mother as long as possible.

Bernadette has been working with me for the last six months. She is the best caregiver I have ever had- intelligent, resourceful and competent. I'm hoping that she will be able to continue her excellent service to me for a long time to come. She has a combination of brains and warm heart.

I had a great deal of trepidation about bringing Jim home last August. I wasn't sure I could do it, but I knew I had to try. I'm so glad I decided to bring him home, but I would have never been able to do it without Home Instead and its staff. Jim's caregivers, John and Marjorie, are the back bone of the entire plan. Without them, I'd surely not be able to handle it all. For both of them this is more than a job. They truly care about Jim. They are happy when he is having a good day and are upset when he is going through a bad spell. They share with me in times when he's a little more lucid so my spirits are lifted. They now know him well enough to catch some of his humor and appreciate it.


When John returned after being away for a couple of weeks, Jim greeted him with a big smile and a handshake. You could tell he was glad to have him back. They truly are buddies. The care John gives Jim means so much to the whole family.

Marjorie has been wonderful since she started. She, too, genuinely cares for Jim and takes an interest in his well-being. She a hard worker and even after Jim is in bed for the night she straightens up the room he uses so it's ready for the next day. She arrives early and never cuts corners to try to leave early. I always have to tell her to go home when Jim falls asleep.

Caregiving isn't and easy job and John and Marjorie do it well.

Emmanuel came to "B's" home in March. The transition was "seamless". He was able to make "B" comfortable from the beginning and able to get into a daily routine quickly. I observed on my visits that "B" was well cared for, discussed his needs and any changes in his health, his home was always neat and orderly.
