catherine-ted 2022-05-25 The is an incredibly responsive agency. They do their utmost to make sure their caregivers are a good "fit" for our needs. My husband, who has advanced Parkinson's, requires full assistance in his activities of daily living. The staff always arrives on time. As I retired social worker I know how difficult it is to find good caregivers. I would highly recommend Home Instead to other families who are doing their utmost to keep their loved ones at home. I am a current client of this provider

PMW 2020-07-30 This is the 3rd caregiving company we have worked with over the past year and is definitely the best. Mom has caregivers 4 hours twice a day to help with personal care, physical therapy, making meals, and ambulation. They seem to be an organized office with dedicated staff that cover specific critical areas (e.g., HR, staffing, billing, etc). There is a significant focus on education and training of caregivers for caregiving activities as well as medical knowledge for commonly encountered diseases of the elderly. They work hard to match caregivers to the medical and physical needs of the client as well as personality fit. When a new caregiver is assigned, they always shadow another caregiver so there is at least some introductory crossover. There have been very few issues but when they happen, they are addressed very quickly and compassionately. I am a current client of this provider

Jfar007 2020-07-28 I would hire them all the time but for me the cost is prohibitive. Its so much better than scrambling around trying to make sure the care situation is covered so I can work. I had a grant that covered 60 hours and I was really bummed when the hours were used up. I am a past client of this provider

Pamela J. 2018-09-26 I had a stroke about 17 years ago. It did enough damage to leave me semi-paralyzed. It affected my brain and left me with my left arm unable to move permanently. It was a scary time of my life and thoughts of how I was going to manage my life and try to live as 'normal' as possible seemed almost impossible. Fortunately, someone suggested Home Instead as an option to help me with what people take for granted everyday. They have given me a major part of my life back. My current care-giver is wonderful, professional, and completely understanding and attentive to my needs. Steve and Leslie (owners) have always been there and without them, I don't know what my life would look like-not the same for sure. I have been with them almost from the beginning of my disability. I am extremely indebted. Thank you Home Instead! I am a current client of this provider

Paul V 2017-11-06 When my mother's needs exceeded the care that my wife and I could provide, I utilized Home Instead Senior Care - La Mesa to help us. What a blessing they were. They helped us in so many ways to make mom comfortable. The staff was completely reliable, friendly and skilled. I have since recommended them to help a friend with the care of his parents and he had the same experience. I highly recommend them. I am a past client of this provider

Vernalle 2015-09-17 We hired Home Instead Senior Care because they seemed like they're very interested, it was a small group -- like a mom and pop organization -- and the money aspect as well. They're very caring, and they seemed to love my father. It's not just some formal thing they do. They tend to spoil him. We've been using them for about a year now. Their work ethics are excellent, and I have no problem with scheduling and billing. We haven't had any trouble with them at all. I am a current client of this provider
