    All of the caregivers were good. Pamela, the client care coordinator, was very helpful. She came to the hospital to give the contract and finalize our plan.

    Home Instead found us a care provider in an emergency, on a weekend, when other providers would not even try. When we needed ongoing care, we chose them. Our Client Care Coordinator, Pamela, was very thorough and attentive. Our caregiver, Rachel, was very sweet, dependable, attentive, and provided thorough notes about my aunt and uncle's activities and condition during her visits. She is very sweet. When we need care in the future I will call Pamela.

    Home Instead Senior Care provided reliable, safe care for my mom. There people were dependable and competent. My mom was in our home safe and happy and I could go to work with peace of mind. In addition to her broken hip my mom has dementia but they were able to deal with the physical and mental aspects of her care and encouraged and support the rest of the family. The office staff was professional and always available to answer questions or concerns. I have recommended and will continue to recommend them to anyone who needs in home care.

They are always very professional and do their best to work with us so that we have consistancy of caregivers. I work in the home health field in Oakmont and Verona and have the opportunity to see these employees in other peoples homes as well and they are always very professional and reliable.

    Home Instead has been, literally, a life-saver for my father, and a sanity-saver for me. My father has a type of dementia (not Alzheimer’s) that is difficult to diagnose and has no therapy, medication or even awareness of its existence among many medical and psychiatric professionals. Our Home Instead caregiver has gone out of her way many times to help us protect Dad from himself and his dementia, setting up routines, taking him to doctor visits and grocery shopping, and running many other errands with him. She has been my safety net and voice of reason during many times when I felt overwhelmed with the enormous burden of dealing from a distance with all of the details surrounding my father’s care needs and condition. Our caregiver is providing better care than I ever could, keeping Dad among his remaining friends, and maintaining his quality of life as best as it can be with his condition. I have recommended Home Instead to many other friends and family in my “sandwich” generation who are trying to care for (local or long distance) an elderly relative who for whatever reason needs to be at “home instead” of in assisted living or a nursing home.

    I live out of state and hired Home Instead to provide personal care for my 90 year old mother, 3hours/day, 7days/week. The primary care giver, Mary, treated my mother as if she were family. Her actions were far above "the job". We were blessed to have had her.The substitute caregivers were professional and compassionate. The office always kept me informed of changes in scheduling and responded to my concerns in a timely manor. I would highly recommend this Senior Care provider. They gave me peace of mind knowing that my mother was always in good hands.

    In some cases, personal care services may be combined with other services, including dementia or nursing care, depending on the clients’ health.

    Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care

    Home Instead employs experienced, trained Care Pros who are able to provide person- focused dementia care for seniors who are living with Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, or other forms of dementia. These Care Pros offer personal care services, along with the following:

    • 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?

    Home care costs vary based on several factors, including the type of services required, how often one needs assistance, and the timing of the services (i.e., overnight vs. daytime care). Where you live also has a significant impact on the cost of home care, as national chains scale their local prices to the cost of living in a given area.

    When planning for home care costs, keep in mind that the national average cost is about $26 per hour, though prices in your location may be higher or lower. You can contact a Family Advisor to learn more about home care costs and payment options in your area.
