The Home Instead team has been working with us for over a year. They have always been very informative, ensuring that we are aware of everything and they assist with extra scheduling whenever possible. The staff in the office and the aides have been incredibly wonderful and caring with our grandmother. We highly recommend them.

We’re about 8 weeks in with Home Instead. So far the experience could not be better. Our “care professional” is here 6 hours a day 3 times a week. She is lovely and caring.

We have used Home Instead for quite some time now. They have been fantastic! They helped us with caring for my father who had dementia and became bedfast in the latter stages. They continue to care for my mother and she loves them. I would recommend their services highly.

We began our relationship with Home Instead several years ago when my Dad's dementia got to the point where he needed additional help in the home. The care providers from Home Instead were wonderful. All of them were willing to go the extra mile when Dad's health declined rapidly. Each genuinely cared about Dad and Mom. When the Lord finally took Dad home, some attended his funeral. Now that Dad is gone, Mom's health has been a challenge. We continue to use Home Instead for companionship care and some assistance of daily living for her. We have been grateful for the care Mom has received, and the rates involved have been reasonable. Camille has been very responsive to any concerns, and is a pleasure to work with on care, staffing, and scheduling issues as they arise. If you are looking for a good, reputable in-home care organization for a loved one, this is a great place to start.

We have been very pleased with the services provided by Home Instead and with the caregiver assigned to us. The care coordinator was responsive to all our questions, thoroughly explaining Home Insteads services and procedures, as well as offering helpful suggestions in the process of choosing a company to fulfill our needs. Our caregiver has been prompt and reliable. She is professional, caring and has built an excellent relationship with the client. I would highly recommend anyone considering or searching for in-home care assistance for a loved one contact Home Instead to explore what the company and its staff can offer.
