Our mother's experience was a good one, especially given that her needs changed during the 2 + years we were in need of the specialized care that Home Instead provided.

After having gone with another well known company and having a nightmare of an experience I was hesitant to even try another company. I was afraid they were all the same. I have been with Home Instead for a few weeks now and couldn't be happier. They send me the same girl as requested even though sometimes I know that may not be able to happen all the time as things come up, but that will be ok too. It's a plus not having to explain all of his things daily to someone new and wasting an hour of your time. She does whatever I ask and does a great job. The company is responsive and takes care of any needs you may have. I don't have to worry at all when I leave that husband will be well taken care of. This company is the epitome of what it is expected to be and I'm so happy I found it. I also like when the caregivers get to be like family. If you're teetering on what to do you really should at least try them. You won't be sorry.

Anyone with an ageing parent knows how tough it is to provide needed care but also respect the dignity and decision making of that parent. As children of those parents we certainly don't have all the answers and need help. Home Instead in Merrillville, Indiana has been there with us, helping us make decisions, providing care when we can't be there and just being someone that is reliable, dependable and someone we can always count on. Jennifer and Sandi in the Merrillville office have hired loving, caring and responsible care givers that genuinely love our Mom and do their very best to keep her safe and mentally stimulated while making sure all her daily needs are met. With whatever time is available, they will pick up and clean up, keeping her home safe. I don't want to mislead anyone. It hasn't been smooth sailing. There have been and will continue to be challenges, but surrounding my Mom with people that care about her and want the best for her, help us work through those tough times. Jennifer and Sandi are just a phone call away. Always available, always willing to do whatever it takes to help my Mom and our family get through those tough times. Currently, we have caregivers come in twice a day. They get her up in the morning and prepare her for bed at night. They cook for her, make sure she takes her meds, run errands with her, and as mentioned, they tidy up the home, keeping her safe. Three of the four of her children live over an hour away. Home Instead allows may Mom to stay in her home, which is what she wants. Sandi and Jennifer along with my Mom's caregivers communicate with us and alert us of possible difficulties when they arise. Home Instead gives my Mom what she desperately want's ... To stay in her home. We can't thank Home Instead enough for all they have done and continue to do for us.

Home Instead has been so kind, understanding, and helpful when it came to finding care for my mom who has mild Alzheimer's. They put thoughtful consideration into finding the right fit for not only my mom, but for the caregiver too. Our caregiver facilitates my mom's daily routine and also keeps her company (they listen and dance to '50s music, our caregiver kindly gives my mom hand massages, which I thought that was a sweet idea on the caregiver's part, etc.), and the caregiver and I have a good rapport where she'll leave me notes & vice versa, so in addition to the daily report she leaves me, she and I also get to trade conversations or questions about my mom to help us both be in the best place to help my mom. I'm so grateful for Home Instead and our caregiver, Lillie, because I know it takes a caring and compassionate individual to provide such thoughtful care and she has even come to stay with my mom on the her non-scheduled days, so that I may get out for some me time. I couldn't do what I do, if they didn't do what they do, so I'm so grateful.
