I would highly recommend the Care Pros at Home Instead. They met all of my Grandmas needs in a safe and respectful manner. Any concerns or updates were communicated to our family right away. She truly enjoyed the companionship and looked forward to her time with them.

Hmmm, not sure where to start but I'll try. Home Instead was a great relief & help for my family & myself!! I needed some help for my mom & especially my dad as both had/have dementia. The girls came in & jumped right in to do what was needed & then some!! They became more than just "help" & I called them my friends! I miss them as my dad is now gone but I will not hesitate to call for help when I need it for my mom!! Cora; you & I clicked SO well & you are GREAT at what you did / do! I love it that we still connect!! My parents enjoyed you immensely also. They appreciated everyone that came to help them & spoke kindly about all of you hard workers!! Thanks again & we'll probably see you again!!

I have worked with Home Instead for going on 4 years, the company is very flexible with my schedule which I appreciate! All of the office ladies are kind and do a great job with communicating with us caregivers. I love this job because it gives people the opportunity to stay in the comfort of their own homes and I love meeting new people and getting to hear their stories, this is a very rewarding job.

So far my experience with Home Instead has been great! The Office Staff and other Care Professionals I’ve met have been genuinely friendly caring people! I love how flexible they are in scheduling and that they are willing to work around my life “happenings”.Im looking forward to the next few years as a Care Professional!

Wonderful place to work. The office lady's are wonderful and caring. I love meeting and caring for all the clients I get. Talking about there life experiences and wisdom. Assisting with end of life care is also very rewarding. Assisting people with being able to stay in their home for as long as possible is our goal. Best job I have ever had.
