I currently have Home Instead Merrick helping with my husband's care. They help out with showering and preparing lunch or breakfast, whichever is needed -- but it's mainly lunch. They see that he's dressed properly because he puts on daytime clothes at night and nighttime clothes in the daytime. They check after him and clean up if needed. They also do light housework, vacuuming, and take him for a walk when they can. Today he has a dental appointment, and the caregiver will be accompanying us. It's his first visit to that dentist so I'm going, but the caregiver will be driving us and acting as a companion to help him understand what's going on. They do whatever I ask them to; sometimes it's an errand, and sometimes just getting lunch for him if I don't have anything prepared. It's whatever I need at the time, like washing clothes and folding them from the dryer, and things like that. Whenever I have to speak with the manager or the people at the office, they're always very kind, very thorough, understanding, and easily reachable, so I've had no problem whatsoever. I've only been with them maybe three months, but they have been very responsive. If somebody could not come in, which happened a couple of times, they would let me know ahead of time and determine with me whether or not I wanted a replacement. I have not been with them that long, but I'm very pleased with them.

I have been delighted with the services provided. I have had peace of mind knowing that a well trained, intelligent, resourceful and friendly caregiver is there for my spouse when I am away. She is punctual, dependable and kind. Our interactions are helpful and respectful. I have always found the agency to be responsive to my specific needs, including extra coverage and changes in hours.

We are super happy that we have the same caregiver that we originally started with. The previous agency we dealt with was like a revolving door and changing aids every week or month was really hard in my parents. Home Instead listens to my concerns and addresses them promptly. They make sure their caregivers take good care of my parents; and they must take good care of their employees as well since there is so little turnover compared to the other agency we dealt with.

The whole idea of getting help for a family member is fraught with emotion. Many people can relate their own experiences but you still feel responsible and concerned about doing what’s best. My mother has been fiercely independent in her own home for 70+ years and was resistant to outside help. Home Instead has qualified people to answer all your questions and allay everyone’s concerns. The transition has been seamless and mom is happier than i’ve seen her in a long long time. Her companion is a PERFECT match!
