    I'm using Home Instead - West Chester, PA for my brother. I have been using it for about a month and a half now. My brother has a certain degree of cognitive skills, so he needs to have someone to sort of watch over him. He needs a companion more than anything else. He needs somebody that will sit with him. I got this service so that I could get away. It's for me more than for him. I'm tethered to him so many hours of the day, I'm his sister and I wasn't expecting to be in this position at this point, I just needed to be able to have a break now and then to be able to go do my thing and do my grocery shopping and stuff like that and not worry about what was going on if I left him. All they're doing is sitting with him as a companion, talking to him and taking him places, and so forth and so on. It's worked out so far. I was very pleased with the gentlemen that they sent out. My brother is a bachelor. He never got married, he never had children, he never had a wife, and I thought he would be more comfortable with a male whom he could talk about sports and so forth and so on. I requested a male, but the company at the beginning said that the possibility of getting a male home care provider was not going to happen because they were so short of staff. However, they found that this gentleman was interested in the hours that I wanted (I'm only having him three days a week for four hours at a time), and he signed up for those hours, and he turned out to be just perfect for my brother. He is educated. He is just a great guy. I like him, and my brother likes him, too. My experience with Home Instead has been great. They're very easy to work with. I would give them the highest rating. I'm very pleased with this gentleman that's coming out. I would recommend them. I would not have been as satisfied if another person had come out, but the gentleman who came out was well-educated. He is easy going, and he's easy to talk to. My brother and he hit it off right away, and my brother is very comfortable with him.

    Aides are great. If our personalities don’t match, the aide is removed immediately. Kindness is both in the office and the aides.

    Peace of mind! The Home instead caregivers bring me peace of mind. They care lovingly for my father (allowing him to live independently) and my mother (in dementia/nursing care bringing extra activity and companionship).

    Home Instead has been providing a companion for my dad for about two years. The companion visited Dad at his assisted living apartment, in the hospital, and now visits Dad's skilled care facility. Dad seldom chooses to participate in activities, so his social contact is limited to meals. Having a male companion allows Dad to talk about things which interest him. Also, as Dad's interest in his surroundings declines, his companion can offer a change of scenery and personal motivation. Home Instead provides qualified, caring workers, always offers a substitute when the regular worker is unavailable, and has a detailed interview process for nailing down needs, wants, preferences. The workers are very respectful, friendly, and good entertainers! The office staff is compassionate, creative, responsive. The whole agency is very professional. I couldn't ask for more.

    My mother was with me for the last three months of her life, the last eleven days in hospice. Two wonderful workers from HomeInstead made my life so much richer and provided her with lively care. As her health deteriorated, our day aide handled the situation with confidence and grace and taught me how to make my mother more safe and comfortable.

    My mother resides in an assisted living facility which specializes in care for people with Dementia and Alzheimers Disease. Mom has lived there for 2 years now, her dementia is advanced, and the transition to this facility was most difficult, for her and for my siblings. We enlisted HISC to provide extra care for Mom, especially during meal times when we cannot be there. In addition to providing basic assistance with ADL, they give Mom devoted attention to keep her active, engaged, and conversational. In addition to the basic skills for these positions, the HISC caregivers consistently demonstrate the additional skills and patience required to care for a person lost in dementia. They are wonderful. On the very few occasions when a caregiver was not a good match, the HISC management listened to our concerns and changes were made immediately. I consider this team to be an extension of my own family, providing loving care to my mother when we can't be there ourselves. I would recommend them to any family who needs this type of assistance. They are top-notch.

    Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care

    • Assistance in establishing a stable daily routine
    • Meal preparation
    • Positive reinforcement
    • Assistance with social skills
    • Transportation to and from appointments, errands, and visits with loved ones

    Care Pros in this role take time to understand clients’ life histories and to focus on the person they were before dementia. Just as with the company’s personal care services, each dementia care client undergoes a comprehensive assessment and is assigned a care plan. This plan is reviewed regularly and adjusted to meet changing needs.

Transportation services from Home Instead can be arranged at predetermined drop-off and pick-up times, or Care Pros can accompany aging adults on errands and provide assistance and care throughout.

    Many aging adults face isolation and loneliness. This is especially true for those who’ve lost a spouse or who don’t have family close by. Home Instead Care Pros strive to build meaningful connections with clients. Companions visit seniors regularly on a schedule that works best for the client. These visits offer seniors a time to enjoy meaningful conversation while engaging in a game of cards, a puzzle, time outdoors, or other activities.

    How Much Does Home Instead Charge for Home Care?
