    They have gone above & beyond their stated services for my mother. It was also very easy to adjust to care for mother more often. Delightful dispositions exhibited from everyone I have spoken with. An extra praise for all of Gina's & Peggy's help!

    My experience with Home Instead Senior Care is wonderful. I had a lady here this morning and we got so much done because she is a good worker. Most of them are good workers, but there are a few that are not. They sent me some young girls who are like in their twenties when I first came out of rehab and they didn't do anything but sit. I called the company and told them not to send me those, but someone who has energy and would work and do what I would need them to do. They have ever since. They wash dishes, make beds, do laundry, mop floors, clean bathrooms, and help me bathe if I need it. They're just wonderful help. They grocery shop or get our meds for us, too, but they don't do any heavy lifting and we don't ask them to do anything too strenuous. But they're real great help. I would recommend them.

    Used Home Instead to care for my wife who has Alzheimer’s until she entered a residential facility. I found the care rendered by Home Instead to be competent and caring. Good agency.

    Home Instead cared for our dad on/off for about 3 years as he struggled with various health challenges, including walking. They provided a variety of services such as food prep, light housekeeping, running errands, driving him to doctor appointments, and getting him dressed. Team was dependable, attentive, kind and respectful. If we had an issue with someone (very minor), they addressed it immediately & supported our requests. They gave us peace of mind that he was being treated like they would treat their family. We highly recommend this organization. Thank you!

    My mother has Alzheimer's and Vascular Dementia. She is no longer capable of managing her medication. I am so grateful for the excellent care she receives through Home Instead Senior Care. On the days that I cannot help her, Home Instead does. Mom enjoys seeing the staff when they visit. I now have peace of mind that my mother will take her medication correctly.

    We have used Home Instead for many months, and used several locations due to the fact we move our mom from child to child. We all get time to spend with her. Each location has loving and caring employees.

    I love the flexibility I'm afforded; if I need to get Mom to an appointment or go out of town, all I have to do is call and her care will be covered. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. You understand how difficult this process can be for a dementia patient, and are willing to work within my mother's comfort zone to provide her the assistance she needs to stay in her home. You have been life- and sanity-savers; I could not continue to provide for my mother without your help. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

    I was referred to Home Instead by a family member. They’re outstanding. I had a personal interview with the team coordinator and the owner of the company. I like their price and minimum hours. They have met their obligations based on our agreement. At the end of the billing cycle, they invoice me by email. I like the flexibility and lack of contract, but the minimum hours is what’s really impressive.

    We depend on the local office for occasional "respite" care for mom when we're out of town or working. Mom lives in a retirement community and loves their companion service.

    I like Home Instead Senior Care because its affordable and I like their contract visits. We are using them for three months now. The caregiver is very proficient, caring and professional in every way and she's doing really well. We are using her three days a week in the afternoon as companionship for my spouse just to give me some time off. They are very well together and she's very patient in her activities. They are very good and we hope to continue using them.

    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.
