My family hired the Home Instead for the downtown Portland area to be the caregivers for my brother who was in hospice for the last weeks of his prostate cancer. From the beginning Bernard (owner) and I discussed the care we were looking for and during the process it showed that he genuinely cared about the people he was working with. Tracy his manager was also very attentive and responsive to requests that we made which made this awful experience so much more palatable. The caregivers were wonderful to work with as we had 24-hour care and the two caregivers that stood out were Anne (night shift) and Willy (day shift). They were both excellent at caring for my brother and made a connection with my family. Willy had similar life experiences (living in Alaska) as my mother so they shared many stories about places they both knew. I couldn't have asked for a better pair of caregivers than Anne and Willy to care for my brother in his last weeks of his life. I would wholeheartedly recommend this Home Instead for anyone going through hospice and needing caregivers to provide support.
