Reviews of Home Instead Senior Care - Lynnwood, WA

I am a past client of this provider
When I was looking for in-home care for my mother, I hired this home care agency to take care of her. I did not know anyone to get a recommendation from, so I just randomly chose them based on their website. The managers in the office that I spoke with were always very friendly and helpful, but many of the caregivers were not so good. My mother never had a consistent caregiver and the agency sent different people all the time. When I asked why this happened, they were never able to give me a clear answer. Many of the caregivers did not have very good English skills and it was sometimes difficult to communicate with them. Because of that, I didn't always feel comfortable leaving the house with just the caregiver and my mother there, which was the whole reason for me hiring a caregiver. On the plus side, the prices were affordable and I don't feel like my mother was ever neglected or mistreated. I ended up hiring an individual woman not associated with an agency to care for my mother and that has worked out well.
