Home Instead has been a lifesaver! Gail B., Sarah R. and Bonnie E. all three have taken a phenomenal care of my mom and always treat her with patience and compassion! They are extremely dependable, reliable and timely!
We've had Home Instead caregiving for my disabled brother who lives independently in a retirement village for two years now.
Kelsey E, Randy M, Sierra R have enabled our family to have stability and relief from worry as they look after my brother, helping him with daily chores, checking his meds are being taken and offering him companionship. It helps not only my brother but our extended family to have peace of mind. Thank you Home Instead!
I just visited my, Mom Trudy C. in Lewisburg Pa from my home state of NJ. She couldn't stop raving about the excellent care she receives from all her caregivers. She has singled out Gail B. as being above and beyond recently. Thank you for taking care of Mom!
We have been very happy with the two caregivers, Ellen and Jules, who care for our father like he was their own! We also appreciate Home Instead’s professionalism and patience as we navigated a challenging few months of intermittent hospitalizations for our father! They always seek to do what’s best for their clients - thank you and Happy Holidays to all!
I’m pleased with Kelsey and Sierra, they do a great job in seeing to my needs. I have been with Home Instead since July 2023. They are so easy to work with and do a great job in working with me to cover my needs. Thank you.
Beverly and Loretta have been such a great help to us!
Kelsey has truly been a blessing to my uncle and myself. She provides loving care to my uncle, is very conscientious and dependable. She is by far the best caregiver we've ever experienced!!! Love her like family!
NOTE: Home- Instead was one of a few choices the VA had to offer me. I’ve only had the opportunity to have two Care Professional organizations, and this was initiated 2023.
First of all, I’ve noticed Home Instead, its employees, and constituents rely on Home Instead’s policies and procedures keeping both parties safe, secure, and giving articulate directions or guidance.
I’ve had the pleasure to work alongside three of their care pros and have witnessed the same behaviors in all three. Home-Instead staff has been flexible, communicative, and very transparent in my needs. Most of all, I “severely” appreciate how the home-instead treats their employees. I can infer it is a sincere, kind, and a loving relationship with “me” in mind.
Secondly, my care pro, Miss Patricia has given me the desire, support, and tools to once again do things I enjoyed, such as: cooking, cleaning, regularly hygiene, and going out into the public areas.
Safety has been paramount for my care with regard to health, spirituality, and /or being mentally hurt. The atmosphere in our home has and is exceptional because of Miss Patricia’s professionalism, kindness, and compassion.
Is this a fluke? My second and third care provider Mrs. Linda and Miss Bonnie have been on time or earlier, shown the same patience, compassion, and honesty as Miss Patricia.
Thirdly, I enjoy and am at rest they all have been “by the book”, and flexible to solving challenges (which I have many). I am rest assured on a daily basis with their honesty, transparency, compassion to my personal care needs.
The flexibility, optimism, and encouragement I receive is a bonus! My care Pro couples my wants and needs and supports me seamlessly with my care plan. The atmosphere my care professionals bring to my home is nothing less than “JOY”.
Finally, my care pros “Miss Patricia, Mrs. Linda, and Mrs. Bonnie consistently offer solutions to my personal challenges. I’m consistently greeted with smiles, care pro’s who live by the policies and procedures, and flexibility to my ever changing needs.
Kelsey is a wonderfully caring young lady who has been taking great care of my mom and dad. They only have great things to say about her and the house is always in great shape. She truly cares.
From my Grandma, Kathryn K: When we first moved to Nottingham Village, my husband was ill and I needed some extra help to take care of him. After inquiring, I was told to contact Home Instead. Home Instead sent Breon and Mary. Breon worked Monday afternoon and Mary worked Wednesday’s and Friday afternoons. They were both with us until recently when my husband passed away. Both women were such a big help, always friendly and smiling, and giving me words of encouragement. I have since continued to keep Mary as a friend and a help to me. I have been very pleased with the help that I have received from Home Instead.
I tried many home health agencies in Northumberland County over the past 2 years. All were a grave disappointment. Then, I tried Home Instead. The staff is a totally different caliber of people! The onboarding process, communications and abilities of all the people I’ve dealt with are excellent. The caregivers are the crème de la crème of caregivers. I feel 100% confident about my uncle’s care when either Kelsey or Paige are taking care of him. They are a true blessing, assisting me in caring for my beloved uncle!
I literally do not know what I would do without Home Instead. It is not just to help ME function; it is about their love, care, and faithfulness re: the care of my mother. I am absolutely certain my mother's consumption of health care dollars would be FAR GREATER if it weren't for Home Instead and I honestly wonder how long it will take Medicare to understand the fact that we need their help to cover such services. Home Instead enables us to care for my mom in her home instead of a Long Term Care/Nursing Home Facility. Need I say more?? The dollars taken from my parent's retirement is over the top to enable to continue with Home Instead but we continue to try to find a way.
The quest for quality home care is a daunting one. We found our solution at Home Instead. Our parents are able to remain living independently with the kind support of a daily caregiver. At this time, Home Instead is our perfect alternative to assisted living. Everyone at Home Instead has been accommodating to our needs and preferences to make each day at home the best it can be. Thank you, for all you do, Home Instead!
ONE YEAR LATER...
Hi Michelle,
My family and I want to send out a huge thank you to you and your team at Home Instead. We were blessed to have your in-home care for our parents which allowed them to remain living independently for another full year! All of your caregivers were greatly appreciated and especially our parents' most consistent and long term provider, Crystal, who always went above and beyond to make sure they felt comfortable physically and emotionally. We will continue to suggest Home Instead to friends and family who need care.

I completed a referral for services for a consumer with many challenges. Home Instead (particular praise goes to Michelle) met with the consumer, maintained a positive attitude throughout it all as they attempted to work with an individual that was very resistant to any offers for help.
Home Instead was amazing. They made my father feel very special, the home care pros catered to his every need, they actually spoiled him. AnnMarie, Danielle, Amelia, Barbara, Diane were amazing. Dad wasn't always the nicest person, they never faltered they just stayed professional and did their job. There is a special bond that happens, that takes special people, and these women were those special people. Kudos to all of them.

We used Home Instead services for over 2 years for both my 86 yr old dad and mom. My dad required physical assistance and my mom has memory impairment. Their service was excellent. The care providers were kind, patient, thoughtful and they never missed a shift. The agency was extremely responsive to our needs, whether we needed to add additional shifts, change a shift, add services etc. I highly recommend them for the care needs of older individuals, especially if you are trying to extend the time they can stay in their home.
We used home instead for over a year and a half to assist my mother (now 86) in her independent living apartment. At times, after a fall, she had 24 hour care. At others, the caregivers were there for 4 hours a day.
The caregivers were almost all wonderful and some were exceptional--a difficult feat given the difficulty hiring during the pandemic. This says something about the people the company attracts and retains.
Communication from home instead was excellent. I could always count on an update or reach someone when needed.
I highly recommend them.

We hired Home Instead to provide some in home services and companionship for my disabled brother and it's been a life saver for us all. They are helping him with chores around the house and have become a grounding support system for him throughout his week. All of the staff are excellent and tailored the services to his unique needs. It also provides me the comfort to know I can come and go and not worry about him taking his medication and being watched over. We plan to use this service for the rest of his life, God willing!
Home Instead offers caring, flexible and reliable care for my older parents. They have been wonderful about providing additional coverage with very short notice. The caregivers are kind and patient.
Everyone was very caring and professional to our loved one. They loved your staff and made it possible for us to keep them at home much longer than we thought possible. Thank you so much.
The caregivers were always on time, they were cheerful and competent. I recommend Home Instead Senior Care.
Very reliable service. Caregivers are well trained and attentive.
Timely, consistent caregiver, accessible - I appreciate the way that they have cared for my mother for several years now!
We were extremely lost when my mother in law started showing signs of dementia. The staff of Home Instead were great. The caregivers were kind & caring and she really enjoyed their company. They were also very helpful in assuring me that I wasn’t doing everything wrong. It’s such a hard and confusing time for not only the senior who needs the help but for their family and I could not have gotten through a lot of things with out the help and guidance from Home Instead. Thank you so much.
My wife suffers from dementia and can no longer care for herself. The staff of Home Instead treats her with great kindness and understanding. They get her clean and ready for bed, entertain her, and assist with feeding her. They also help me with house work as needed, such as vacuuming, laundry, and after dinner kitchen cleanup. They are always on time. I am quite happy with the services provided.
Over a period of ten years my Uncle received care from Home Instead. Being the closet relative 4.5 hours away it gave our entire family and my uncle the piece of mind that he would receive the care and support he needed. It was more than the basics it was the love and compassion the caregivers brought into his life. The entire organization cared for my uncle and were always on top of his care. Even when his body deteriorated that he required a nursing home they still were there. I highly recommend.
I was well served by all staff of the agency. They always arrived on time in the morning. They prepared breakfast and lunch four days per week and cleaned as well as did my weekly laundry. They also provided pleasant conversation.
Home Instead met the needs of the family that was requested. The care provided was on a very limited basis over weekends. But an employee was always available, and the persons who were being cared for seemed to be pleased with their service. We would recommend Home Instead for your family needs.
Home Instead was wonderful. They were extremely accommodating for my grandparents. I highly recommend!
The caregivers for my husband have been excellent, compassionate, caring and takes good care of my husband. They give him wonderful care. I feel good about leaving him with the caregivers of Home Instead.
I found the caregivers to be courteous, kind, friendly and happy to help in many ways. My wife has passed, but she looked forward to the arrival of "her girls." I happily recommend this service.
Caring people, well organized, flexible, good communicators!
We were very pleased with the services provided by Home Instead.

They are a God-send and a wealth of knowledge!! Our past 3 weeks have been a blur with my mom in and out of the hospital. Michelle is always so patient with me when I call in a panic. My mom's caregiver, Linda, is very knowledgeable and has been a terrific resource when it comes to helping us know what to do to make my mom comfortable. So much of this is new to us as until about 3 weeks ago, my mom was taking care of herself and was completely mobile whereas now she has a catheter, is on oxygen at night, and needs assistance to make it even the short distance to the bathroom. Joe even gave us a lead on a licensed construction company who could install a grab bar in the shower for when my mom is hopefully stronger again. They clearly have made it their mission to be as knowledgeable and helpful as possible for people who are suddenly thrust in to a whole new world.
Simply put, if I had to do everything over again, there is nobody I would call except Joe and the staff at Home Instead in Lewisburg.
All the caregivers are great with my Aunt. She always speaks positively about them. The staff in the office are so wonderful. They are very helpful with scheduling and making sure my requests of the caregivers are tended to. Many thanks to a great organization. This allows my Aunt to remain in her home!
Helpful and very nice knowledgeable service. I would highly recommend when you need someone to stay with a loved one. Comforting, always on time and showed great care in helping me with my father.
Folk searching for home care help naturally focus on the caregiver, but behind the caregiver stands an administration that is generally unseen but essential. Our experience with Home Instead was excellent. The caregiver was at our home for 30 hours a week, allowing me to shop and continue some contacts important to me. When it became necessary to move to custodial care, the caregiver stayed with us and was an essential part of the difficult, but necessary, relocation. Behind the caregiver was an administration that reacted to emergencies with wisdom, efficiency, and promptness. When selecting help, consider the quality of the administration for they do what no single helper can accomplish.
We have worked with Home Instead for my mothers care at her onset of Alzheimers. They work with you, a very good experience for us in a somewhat bad situation. Their staff is very polite, very kind, very giving and very knowledgeable of peoples needs and desires. They put us at ease very quickly and we would recommend them to anyone for home care with total respect given to you and your loved one. Thank you for all your help.
My father’s caregiver was trustworthy, kind, and very helpful. She took him shopping, cooked meals, did the laundry, and cleaned the house for him weekly. They provided substitute caregivers when she was not available. The caregivers from Home Instead were much better and more trustworthy than the live-in one we used from At Home Quality Care.
