    My worker does whatever I need because I’m stuck in my nursing home since March 10,2020. If it weren’t for the thing’s she does it would probably affect my mental health as well as my physical health. I’ve been with Home Instead senior care for about 7 years and I’ve been taken care of as well as I was when I became a client. My workers have all done whatever needs doing Sorry. So jumbled I’ve had MS 29 years

    Home Instead is providing me with focused care for my husband and respite care for me. The care giver is always on time and very good care to my husband. She is focused on his needs and mine. Very caring and kind. The Home Instead has shown me they are always there for me when I need them. They are a God send to me and my husband.

    My mother enjoyed the interaction with her new caregiver. They talked and laughed. The caregiver fed her lunch, and made sure her bottom was dry and clean before she left. She was awesome!

    We're using Home Instead Senior Care - Baton Rouge for mom. We liked the person they sent, there have been a few things that have fallen through the cracks, but overall, we've been pleased. Scheduling and billing is fine, there are no problems there. The caregiver is great. They run all her errands, take her to appointments, make her bed, do some clothes washing, they make sure she takes her medication, they walk with her, make sure she's safe and secure, and help with her daily personal hygiene.

    Our scheduling staff is top notch and do all they can to meet our needs. Our needs only involve companionship, but for a very mobile individual, this is sometimes asking a lot.

    I am helping take care of my uncle who is 89 years old and has Alzheimer's. He is in a memory care facility but needs someone with him 24 hoyrs a day. Home Instead has been extremely responsive since I first contacted them. Their caregivers are very professional and well trained. They truly care about the person they are taking care of. The notes left after each shift give you a good idea of what kind of day your loved one had. We are notified immediately if the care giver sees any change that we should be aware of. I would recommend Home Instead to ANYONE needing care!

    I am a current client of this provider We are using Home Instead Senior Care Baton Rouge for my mom. This Senior care is not good as it used to be anymore. Some of the caregivers do not know simple hand hygiene. We are so disappointed.

    Provider Response

    We're sorry to hear that you were upset with your mother's services; we have since switched ownership and improved our services as well as the education provided to each of our CAREGivers. We would love the opportunity to talk with you if you are still in need of our services.

    We are using Home Instead Senior Care Baton Rouge for my wife. We have a few caregivers who come in four days a week and then on Wednesday, there has been different people. My wife goes to rehab and when she comes in, she is here until I get home. She will make her a little something to eat. It is working out pretty well. They are very helpful and on time and take her to the doctor.

    The caregivers at Home Instead were good. Sometimes their employees would not show up or show up late, but in general, the office staff did their best to try to notify us when someone was not going to show up. They also notified us if somebody was running late and tried to find out the reason why. We used them for around three or four weeks. Their office staff was very responsive.

    The company is excellent because they really screen the applicants so that they have the best people to care for their clients. Their caregivers have high moral characters and integrity. The company does an excellent up to date training program. They do excellent follow along service once a caregiver is placed in a home. They are always available any hour of the day to provide advice or handle any situation that arise during your shift. Not only do they care about the clients we provide service for but they care about the caregivers.

    I am a past client of this provider

    Home Instead was the first agency I've ever dealt with. I was very pleased with the caregivers that my mother had. The lady that came out who interviewed me and my mom was very knowledgeable, and knows what she's doing. One time, mom had a fall when she was trying to get to the door to let the caregiver in. The caregiver knew what she had to do and sent grandma to urgent care. So I felt like they did a very good job. They know what to do in case of emergency. However, I think some of the individual caregivers might be trying to work more than one job, because one time the caregiver started to fall asleep. I understand because I've worked two jobs too, but that's a little scary. But I also like that the caregivers follow-up with me and talk to me. The communication was very good and they're willing to communicate with the family. They also do a very good job of showing that they really do care about a person. I think the actual caregiving itself is very good. I would definitely recommend them and use them again.

    How Much Does Home Instead Charge for Home Care?

    Home care costs vary based on several factors, including the type of services required, how often one needs assistance, and the timing of the services (i.e., overnight vs. daytime care).

    When planning for home care costs, keep in mind that the national average cost is about $26 per hour, though prices in your location may be higher or lower. You can contact a Family Advisor to learn more about home care costs and payment options in your area.
