My experience with home instead was my family member had dementia and there was so many different nurses that came to care for her and I think that was very confusing for her ,one nurse was very good to her ,most were good but one girl flipped out when I asked her to do the dishes, that was unprofessional

Home Instead has been amazing, they are caring, honest and always available 24/7. Chris works incredibly well with the V.A. In arranging and delivering services to Veterans. If you, or a family member is Vet that needs home services, I would not hesitate to contact them. Thanks

Living in another state and having the responsibility of caring for my aunt and uncle was difficult. It was important that I acquired an organization that I believed would provide the same care that I would give if I was there. Utilizing the services of Home Instead was a gift from Heaven. The personal dedication and care that was provided was exceptional. Chris Waldman and his personal care associates went above and beyond expectations. Chris’ insight and professionalism assured me that my aunt and uncle were well cared for by those assigned to them. I would, without a doubt, recommend Home Instead without any hesitation.

Chris Waldman of Home Instead met with us to discuss the options for sitting with my mom. He was compassionate, patient and able to answer our questions professionally, as well as being sensitive to their stage of life, which required him to answer my parents’ questions in a way that would still preserve their dignity. Chris did everything he could to put their minds at ease and encourage them toward the next steps in my mom’s care. We appreciate your genuine commitment to providing quality and compassionate care to people who need specialized care at this stage of life. Kindness matters and Chris genuinely cares. Thank you Chris!
