Home Instead has provided excellent care for our Mom for several years. Mom worked with us to develop a list of the help she wanted - from fixing meals to laundry to helping with the daily Word Jumble that she can no longer see. The list has grown over the years to include grocery shopping, getting trash to the curb, helping with medications when needed, help with dressing when needed... basically anything Mom needs help doing. The caregivers have all been kind, prompt, understanding, patient and helpful. Home Instead keeps us informed of any concerns they have with Mom's health and are wonderful about adding shifts as needed if Mom is going through a rough patch. They have accommodated every request we have made or Mom has made. Home Instead is the reason Mom can still live at home - where she wants to be. We think they are among Mom's guardian angels. She thinks so, too.

We have used Home Instead for both my Mom and currently my Dad. We have had amazing caregivers. Jeri and staff are willing to listen and help out with suggestions and support, whether it’s minor or major. My mom struggles with Alzheimer’s and at times was not the easiest person to assist. Each of her caregivers except one was a welcome help and showed such patience. My dad has one caregiver right now and she is amazing with him and is very efficient in getting his laundry done as well as taking the time to visit with him and letting me know things she notices. Highly recommend Home Instead!

Home Instead is hands-down the best elder care agency that my family has had experience with, and we have had some stinkers. Highly recommended at a tender time of life for our elders.

We have used Home Instead for over six years. The care given to my parents has gone above and beyond my expectations. One of the caregivers, Mavis G., was with us for the entire time. I loved the continuity for my mom, who with her dementia could not tolerate change. Mavis became not only her caregiver but also her friend, and my friend as well. She was always willing to do all that needed to be done, but more importantly provide a safe, friendly environment for my mom. The companionship was just as important as the care! I highly recommend using Home Instead for anyone who needs care and companionship.

My 95yp mother lives south my husband and me. I was uncertain how she would do with a caregiver. She thinks she's totally independent and doesn't need any help when my husband and I need to go out of town. The Home Instead caregivers are amazing. They let her do what she can and then help with things she can't, like cooking. They're great companions, arrive on time, and give her all the attention she needs and deserves. I highly recommend their services!

I have been nothing but incredibly impressed with Home Instead from the very first contact with the owner of the company, to the kindness, professionalism, and responsiveness of every member of her organization. My mom has had 3 caregivers and each one is incredible in her own way and they all bring something which is so well suited to my mom. And even better, they LOVE my mom, truly. My mom's dementia, in addition to a busy schedule of activities and appointments, often results in schedule changes, which are handled immediately and with understanding. Home Instead has enhanced my mom's life to a great extent and allowed her to remain at home longer. I think the name of the company says it all! Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Jerry & Home Instead!

Our neighbor strongly recommended Home Instead, saying they were great with her Mother. Jerri the owner, personally talked to my family about my dad's needs and the problems we had with the other company we wanted to replace with Home Instead. Jerri hand picked from her staff to meet my dad's cooking and companion needs and address our concerns. Home Instead's hourly rate is very competitive. Her staff is very dependable and arrives on time and really cares for dad. They cook and clean and are focused on him. Home Instead is very professional. Their visits allowed Dad to stay in his home. We would still be using them if Dad hadn't recently had a stroke and gone down hill, now needing a long term facility.

Staff is very responsive when changes in caregivers are requested. The caregivers have been so kind and sweet. The fact that caregivers must have their own transportation is very important to us as well. This provides added security so only the caregiver knows where the client lives. We've used Home Instead services for over three years.

We used Home Instead to help us care for my mom when she was at home in Hospice care. We needed someone to to be with my mom at night so we could get some rest. They sent us Olga. She is literally an angel here on earth! She was so kind, compassionate, caring, professional and genuine. She was only with us for two nights as my mom passed on the second night. Even in that short time she impressed my family to no end. I have no words to express my gratitude to her for the loving care she showed my mom in her last days. This is not the first time we have used Home Instead. They cared for my mom prior to this when she just needed some help getting around, rides to places etc. They have always been prompt, professional and compassionate. They provide such an important service and I am so grateful to them for that. Thank you Olga for helping when we needed it most and Jerry for sending her to us!! Can't say enough about her!

Unfortunately, we only needed Home Instead to care for my Dad for one month, but they did a great job. The owner, Jeri, was always professional, and we were very happy with the two providers who came during the week. They took good care of Dad and he liked them. We never had to worry about him while we were at work, which was a huge help during a stressful time for our family.

Homeinstead is a great company that assisted my Mom for many years. They assisted her in many ways. Someone came every friday to take her to her hairdresser.They did her laundry,changed her bed linens. She also had a cook twice a week which was good for Mom. It was also easy to set up a driver for doctor appts. Great company with her children living out of state. I would recommend this company to anyone who needs help...caring and very thoughtful employees.

Home instead stayed with me when m y daughter had to work after I broke my shoulder before my rehab program was complete. They helped me with personal hygiene, light housekeeping, meal prep, and companionship until my daughter came home from work so that I wasn't afraid to be home alone. The staff was always on time, friendly and caring. The agency is always easy to work with and it was simple to change schedules If I needed to because of my daughters work schedule or doctor appointments for myself.

My aging mother fell for about the fifth time and insisted on being back home to live her life. We engaged Home Instead and could not have been happier with the care they gave. They put together a daily schedule that included grocery shopping, meal preparation, house cleaning and taking her on errands. It gave all of my brothers and sisters the piece of mind we needed to know she was being well taken care of and living life the way she desired. Thanks Home Instead, we will be back. We are all getting older too.

Home Instead has really taken a lot of worry and pressure off of our family, who all live out of state. They ensure our parents make it to appointments, as well as helping them with shopping and doing things as independently as possible. The caregivers are wonderful, understanding, and reliable. You can count on Home Instead!

Everyone that was sent out to take care of Gerda did a fantastic job. When they were with her, they made sure that all of her needs were taken care of. I remember a time the night person was sick and couldn't come and Jerri (the owner) came out and stayed overnight with her. Everyone was compassionate and truly cared for Gerda. This is a company I would highly recommend to anyone who has a loved one that needs assistance. Thank you Home Instead for making me feel so comfortable leaving Gerda when I couldn't be there!

From the initial visit by Geri, the owner visited with us in person for as long as we could think of questions, answering each one fully before going to the next point. From the care by Lorraine, 100% caring, competent, flexible, and taking initiative appropriately.

I used Home Instead Senior Care. They were outstanding and exactly what I needed. I used them three times over the past two months. They provided transportation to and from the hospital following surgery and a pharmacy run. The caregivers are excellent. I’m not using them on a regular basis, but if you need someone to escort you home after surgery and make sure everything is all set up, they’re excellent for that.

By Marion's Family

I am a current client of this provider

Thank you to all of the caregivers and staff. Marion received excellent care. What I really liked was that each caregiver was able to meet her needs differently. She was just getting to know Sue but was grateful for her kind gentle care and liked her very much. She loved the way she's cleaned. She loved how Mary would do her fingernails for her. Each caregiver had a special thing; they did not just follow a care plan.

The owner Jerri quickly responded to our family needs and in one day had in place caregivers for my elderly mother. Very kind caring ladies visited with my mother in her final days. My hubby heard them laughing like young school girls one night. What a blessing for us.

Excellent! Terri was always quick to respond to questions, requests, and need for personal visits. Schedulers were very flexible and never made me feel I was too demanding or out of line, CNAs were almost uniformly capable, cooperative and compassionate.

The Colorado Springs team provided invaluable help, care and support for my partner during the last three weeks of her life along with hospice. They were superb at every level. Office staff was outstanding and very responsive. I would be happy to say more but would prefer to do so in a more private way. A card like this is a little too public.

Home Instead is fantastic. They’re keeping very good track of my mother-in-law and notifying us about issues that they see. I am very pleased that we have them in her home. They’re getting her meals, companionship, minor exercise, and light housework. I took the recommendation from somebody who’s already using them, and just from the care that I’ve seen extended to my mother-in-law, I would be more than happy to recommend them to others.

The company staff from president to caregiver was very professional and helpful. They were there for my mom and provided great care for her until I was able to pick her up and take her to an assisted living facility. I am VERY thankful for them - they were a Godsend!!!

We can't thank Home Instead enough for the quality care their caregivers gave to our mom. Not only did they become our friends, they became part of our family. Because of Home Instead our mom was able to stay in her home for over a year longer than anticipated.

We have Home Instead for my dad. They take him to the gym every day, clean up the house, talk to him, help him dress, and make him lunch. The caregivers follow directions and do what I've asked them to do. My dad seems to enjoy them. One of the things that we had to work on was a way for them to communicate with me about how my dad was doing each day, so we instituted a notebook system.

From the first phone call to do my shopping for a home health care service, Home Instead was very informative and caring. My husband and I gave Home Instead a high rating because: 1.The owner personally came to meet my mother so the caregiver assigned was compatible. 2. We have had two caregivers and whenever I have my mother in their care, I have never worried a minute.

I'm using Home Instead Senior Care for about three months now. They provided us a caregiver as well as a backup person, and that seems to be working well. They are assisting with my mother's meal preparation and shopping. We really don’t have any complaints at all. I would certainly recommend them.

The primary caregiver who worked with us deserves far more than five stars; she is remarkable. She was conscientious, caring and loving. The drawback to this location--and the reason for four stars--is the scheduling. Even though we were long-term clients, the scheduler consistently moved people around on our schedule, thus creating inconsistency and confusion for my mother. When questioned about it, she was not receptive to suggestions. Apart from that, our experience with Home Instead was very positive.

I needed immediate help over Christmas for my 94-year-old friend who had fallen & wasn’t doing well. Mary & Mandy doing well.

Very displeased with their services. Against our better judgement we stuck with them for four months to which each month proved that they are unable to redirect and manage our family member with Alzheimer's.

Provider Response

Thank you so much for bringing this issue to our attention. I'm sorry your experience wasn't what you had hoped for. We work very hard in our office as well as in the field to provide the best quality care. My staff and I researched this matter and were not able to find any discharges in the past 8 months matching your comments. We hire and train all of our CAREGivers with the highest standards in the industry and we have a select team of CAREGivers that provide services for our Alzheimer’s clients. As well as our Client Care Manager has routine CAREGiver supervisory and quality assurance visits to ensure we continue to meet these standards. I take this type of feedback very serious and would value a conversation for feedback. Please call our office.

I highly recommend any other company "instead" of this company. I hired home instead for my grandparents for some basic care and one on one for an Alzheimer patient the CNAS that came to our home did not have Alzheimer knowledge that the owner had promised and were not reliable on set times and schedule. When speaking to owner she was unprofessional, showed no comparison and showed no humanity to my complaints. Company and owner clearly were all about the money would not recommend for your love ones.

Provider Response

We’re sorry you felt you had a bad experience. We hire and train all of our CAREGivers with the highest standards in the industry. We take this type of feedback very seriously and would value a conversation for feedback. Please call our office.

One lady did no interaction with my grandmother she sat at the table and watch violent movies and shows that agitated my grandmother who has Alzheimer's.

Provider Response

We’re sorry your experience wasn’t what you had hoped for. We hire and train all of our CAREGivers with the highest standards in the industry, and what you describe is not in line with the service we strive to provide. We take this type of feedback very seriously and would value a conversation for feedback. Please call our office.

I chose Home Instead because my husband wanted a male caregiver. It did not take long for them to provide the service, it's the insurance approval that took time. They provided bedding and grooming, washing and bathing him. He comes twice a week for about 6 weeks now. The caregiver was very pleasant, polite and respectful which is important. He is therefore a good match for my husband.
