The caretakers I had during the few weeks I used their service were all great. The office workers; not so great. Had a few issues and all I got were excuses. No accountability from Home Instead at all. Instead they told me I was argumentative. Never once apologized for a no show. Never acted like they cared. I highly recommend that the owner initiate some customer service training for the office staff. People who are reaching out for help should be treated with kindness and compassion.

Home Instead was such a blessing to our family. My mother was ill for several years. We started with minimal services and over the years Home Instead grew with our needs. They were always kind, caring and responsive. When you are dealing with the unknown as it relates to your loved one and their health care needs... to have a 24-7 contact it is such a relief. It was comforting to me to know the staff would always answer my calls and emails. Home Instead staff were always there for us. My mother died several years after her care with Home Instead started... and their caring staff were there with us every step of the way. I can't thank them enough.

Home Instead has been a lifesaver as we try to allow my step-mom to stay at home and live independently with caregiver support. The staff communicate well with you and have had to staff quickly due to all of a sudden discharges from the hospital. They also support the caregiver which is very unique but very needed. I could not do this without them.

We used Home Instead services for my mom for over six years and I would highly recommend this company. The caregivers were well matched to my mom's needs and the office staff was very helpful when we needed to change schedules. Overall, an excellent service that allowed my mom to remain in her home longer than she would have otherwise been able to do.

Wonderful company with a very friendly office staff and personable caregivers. If you run into an emergency and need someone at your home last minute, they will make it happen.They have people on call 24/7 and won't leave you or family members without care. They want what's best for clients and will make accommodations wherever possible. All the caregivers go through a full background check and several training sessions so that they can meet individual needs. They will do anything from personal care, house cleaning, grocery shopping, or even just someone to sit with you during the day. I would highly recommend them for you and your family members.
