    My husband has been using Home Instead for almost a year and a half now. So far, it's good. It's twice a week, Mondays and Thursdays, from 1:00 to 5:00. Their job is just to sit there and watch him when he goes to the bathroom because he has a walker and I don't want him falling. His leg sometimes shakes. The rest, my husband just sits there in his lazy chair watching TV. Scheduling is good. They've been good to us. When they come check on us, all the ladies from the office are real friendly. Brad is the name of the caregiver.

    My wife is using Home Instead. Kayla comes here to take care of her personal needs three days a week. The service is excellent. I cannot say enough for the young woman that comes to the house and takes care of my wife's personal things like that. When she's not taking care of my wife, she's doing things around the house and fixes us lunch every day. Scheduling is fine. They met the timeframe that we needed. The caregiver is a very, very nice person.

    My husband is using Home Instead. We have care three times a week for him for about six months now. We like the people they've been sending. They help him with bathing, fix his breakfast, help him get dressed, help him with his exercise and get him anything that he wants. They're here four hours a day. I would rate all of the three ladies a five.

    Home Instead has been wonderful to work with. At a time when I didn't know what to do or where to turn they were there for me and my sister and have just been a God send. In particular our caregivers are so helpful. We don't usually need to tell any of them what to do because it's almost second nature to them. But if there is something out of the ordinary that needs to be done we know that all we need to do is ask and they are always willing to help. Our special thanks to Anelisse, Cynthia and Francesca.

    Brenda Z has been my caregiver for almost 2 years. I have mobility issues and needed help with shopping, housekeeping and transportation. She has been a godsend for me and helped me get thru the pandemic. She is a very dedicated and caring person, and always puts the client's needs first. I really don't know how I'd survive without her compassionate care. She is an exceptional example of the Home Instead service.

    Brad come every Monday and Wednesday. My husband is so glad to see Brad on those days. They have become such buddies. They are like two peas in a pod. Brad is such a caring and patient caregiver. We really appreciate this caring and giving man. Thank you for picking Brad for Mike it makes a world of difference to both of us.

    Home Instead provides excellent services for me at home. I'd like to specifically recognize Rosa for all she has done for me and my family. She takes care of me and interacts with me personally. She makes me feel special in everything she does. She works so hard every day and always stays busy. I appreciate all she does.

    My mom had a virtual meeting schedule. She has dementia. I was unable to be at her home to get her logged on. Her caregiver, Nazarine was on duty until 5:30. Moms appointment was at 6pm. Nazarine and I worked to get everything installed. This caused Nazarine to stay late. I asked her to stay and help mom. I asked her to stay until 5:55pm to get mom signed into meeting. That is going above and beyond. She followed instructions to download app thru staying until just before meeting began. A million thanks to this angel. Nazarine is always on time a dependable for moms appointments. The agency performs regular performance reviews with me and with mom. Just last week I had been unable to reach my mom on her cell phone by calling, texting or facetime. I called the agency to ask them to call caregiver to trouble shoot. Moms phone died and caregiver placed the phone on the charger. Yay. Also just last week caregiver Genesis surprised my mom with a special treat a bear claw from paneras. When I asked about it the caregiver,Genesis, said the client deserved a special treat after having a particularly bad evening the night before. This is why we contracted with Home Instead and their staff! Awesome group.

    Home Instead and our caregiver, Dawn, are quick and detailed when anything of concern needs to be addressed. They are vigilant about service follow ups and care level needs assessments. We have faith and confidence that every week, a reliable set of eyes, Dawn’s, keep abreast of my parents many needs both physically and mentally. This info is always reported and shared. .

    I want to thank Home Instead for all their help. Everybody from the Caretaker’s to Management have been so helpful, and understanding. I was impressed that during COVID, even though we canceled services at that time, Home Instead continued to call and check on us. I would also like to thank Maxine, for all the time and energy she puts in making my Moms day better. Thank you all.

    My Mom and I have had an amazing experience with Home Instead. My Mom's caregiver is literally a life saver and enables her to continue to live at home and provides peace of mind to me as I live out of town. I don't know what we would do without her. Home Instead staff make the process easy and everyone is a joy to work with. I would highly recommend.

    Home Instead has been a blessing to my family. The caretaker is always on time, personable, and gears conversation toward the client's most liked topics. During a time when extra time was needed for my husband's care, I called the agency and told them what I needed. They immediately confirmed my additional days and everything was taken care of promptly. The staff is caring, capable, and offers a big relief when you need respite care like we needed. They are professionals, and provide several levels of care, depending on your needs. Home Instead has been awesome, thank you.

    The Home Instead staff in Lakeland, FL were a Godsend when My husband & I needed assistance with my father-in-law. When we realized we couldn’t do it all on our own we couldn’t have asked for a more professional, personable & caring staff. Not only was their assistance invaluable to us but we learned a lot about how we could better take care of & understand what he was going through at the time. And when it became necessary for hospice care they were there too offering us a break in the evenings.

    I interviewed this provider

    I contacted Home Instead in Lakeland when we were looking at options for my mom after she was discharged from rehab. Ultimately we determined that Mom needed assisted living. Even though home care didn’t work out, Temi was a wonderful resource. She gave me a lot of information and support. Of the many MANY people I talked to, she really was the most helpful to me personally. I am so grateful.

    On searching for an in-home care for my wife, I had it down to two different ones and Home Instead seemed to be better qualified as far as I was concerned for what I wanted, that's how we ended up with them. They seemed to be more caring than the other one was. I have been using them for four years now. They came out and interviewed me and within that first week almost immediately, I had a CNA out here. Unfortunately, she left because she got a job in the hospital. She was hoping she could do both because she liked working with my wife and I enjoyed her too, but unfortunately we had to let her go. After her, we had one or two people that weren't satisfactory and we told the agency about them and lately I haven't seen them working around anymore, so the agency seemed to take what you say literally and go and do something about it. The current caregivers we have now would come three days a week and all they do is just get her up in the morning, wash her and get her dressed.
