Nicholas has been our caregiver for Max for almost a year & it has been a blessing! He reads to Max. He watches sporting events with him & interprets the plays to him which we appreciate because Max has little vision! He plays classical music for him and is always engaging with him. He makes sure Max is comfortable and has had the amount of fluids required during his shift and feeds him when needed. Max is less anxious & more engaging when Nicholas has been here! Nicholas is a self starter! He sees something that needs done & just does it without being asked! I hope he can continue to be with us during this journey. We are so beyond thankful to have him with both Max and myself. He has been a gift for our family.

Both my husband and I have received care from Home Instead,. The company itself has worked with us to match caregivers with our specific needs. I have a caregiver right now named Debra and she goes out of her way to be helpful, kind and understanding. She is willing to do anything I ask but is not pushy in any way. She is generous, as well. She recently brought me daffodils following the death of my husband and I am very grateful for her kind, thoughtful care!!

My father receives home help at his assisted living center from Home Instead. Jordyn, our care manager, has been excellent. Caregivers Linda, Ramani, and Rayne, as well as numerous others, have been excellent. My family really appreciates the help we receive from Home Instead.

They have provided in home care for my mother for the past 6 years. Without them, she would have not been able to stay in her home. All have been very caring and competent.

Jo has been my caregiver for almost 3 years. We have actually become quite good friends while she has been helping me struggle with my severe depression. She is extremely caring and efficient with whatever household chores she helps me with. She helps me remember things I need to do, anticipates things that need to be taken care of, and is always cheerful. We can and do talk about so many topics that helps me stay distracted. She plays games with me, we go for walks in my neighborhood and she even takes me on short errands in town. I truly miss her on the days we’re not together. I love her positivity, promptness and loving kindness.

I have contracted with Home Instead for over a year, to have Cari visit my sister Carol, 3 times a week. Carol often tells me of how much she appreciates Cari taking her to various medical appointments, restaurants, shopping for necessities and the companionship. As my sister’s POA, I can say that this has been a very good decision to employ Home Instead, and their employee CARI.

We chose Home Instead for our 95-year-old mother last Fall. The first few weeks they sent some younger caregivers, but my mom didn't "click" with them at all. The staff heard our concerns and request for a more mature caregiver and they assigned Jacqueline. She is a very friendly and pleasant companion for my mother. She is always eager to help anytime my mother or I have specific requests to help. I happily recommend Home Instead Fort Collins to care for anyone's loved one.

Home Instead has been one of the most treasured finds in our current lives. Frankly, we could not be in survival-mode without the services their caregivers provide. Of particular note is the amazing Erica. She is an earth-bound angel!! She has an absolute caring personality, not to mention how personable she is. She arrives, as she will this morning, we chat about the week behind us and the days ahead and 'away' she goes. While our house is rarely a mess, by the time she leaves after her 4-hour shift, everything gleams, is put in its proper place, and not a dust mite is to be found. Home instead cannot have a much better caregiver than our Miss Erica. We are blessed to have her and consider her to be a friend. [My apologies for being 'late' with our praise of Erica. I was in the hospital for several days, and recovering for several more.

I have been using Home Instead for over 3 years. My current team of care coordinator Dawn and caregivers Lori, Adriana, Yuliana and Judith do a great job keeping my home clean and safe as my disability has progressed. Without their efforts I would not be able to retain my independence.

I've been using Home Instead since I developed Charcot Foot, the healing of which requires staying off one's feet. Jaalah has been a real blessing! She notices things that need to be done or fixed and is amazing at solving the problems. She is so helpful that she makes life easier than it was when I was doing things myself! She is always cheerful and brightens my days.

Steve provides excellent care for my 91 year old husband! He showers him and helps him with PT exercises. He also takes him outside in the wheelchair to get some sun. We really appreciate his caring attitude and warm conversation!

Rebecca is amazing when working with my dad. She engages him mentally and takes him on walks so he gets some exercise outside. He really enjoys her visits. I feel completely comfortable leaving him in Rebecca's care.

We are thrilled with the care Lauren provides to our mom Kay. She is so hard working. Mom says, "you wouldn't believe everything she cleans!" But I think what really stole mom's heart was her banana bread. Thank you, Lauren - you are appreciated. Another favorite caregiver is Tobie. She is always positive and cheerful. She says her goal is to make mom smile. I say she's done more than that - she can make mom laugh. Thank you, Tobie - you are appreciated!

Jasmine is a dedicated professional who does this hard work to the highest standards. She has rapidly become a trusted member of the family and we are grateful to benefit from her expertise and commitment. We rate Jasime a solid 5 stars! Home healthcare is a high-skil, high-demand profession which has too often been plagued by low respect and low pay. We desperately need to RAISE WAGES for the entire home healthcare field. Our carers deserve better.

We have two CNA who provide services weekly; Veronica and Anna. The are both wonderful. They are pleasant, compassionate, very capable, and always asking for ways they can assist us more. I couldn’t ask for any better service from either of them!

The Home Instead care team has been working with my 92 year old Mother for several months. Ellen, Rachael and Charlotte have been regular caregivers. Zeanne, Cheryl and others have filled in on weekends. These women have provided exceptional care, each bringing their own unique skills, and allowed my mother to stay in her home and remain as independent as possible. We truly appreciate their kindness and support.

All I can say is our caregiver is always on time and does so many little things that doesn’t have to do. We feel very secure with her. Look forward to seeing her every day.

My friend is using the transportation services for the last few years. The care givers are great and on time to take her to her appointments. Carol G. has become a good friend, and they get along great. the Fort Collins office is good to work with, communication is easy and if there is an issue that comes up they call as soon as they can and are willing to see what they can do to help.

We are blessed to have the caregiver provided by Home Instead. He is trustworthy, friendly, and very patient. There is nothing he would not provide with care, and do it with a smile. There’s a strong bond / and friendship he has established with us! We feel very fortunate to have genuine, quality care provided by Home Instead .

Home Instead offers my parents personal care to assist them in getting up and ready for the day and in getting ready for bed. I cannot provide this care myself, as I live 2,000 miles away. The care manager has been super helpful, providing a detailed care plan and keeping me updated when there is a change. The staff arrives on time and are friendly as well as competent.

It is not easy to find someone to care for the elderly, especially when there is resistance from someone that is very much in need of assistance. Home Instead was very helpful in finding someone to help my Mother with cleaning her house. The kind woman that was sent is not intimidating, friendly and efficient. Just what my Mom appreciates. Thank YOU!

The services that Home Instead provides are a big relief for my Mother who is 81 yrs old and a huge relief for her family that is concerned. My Mom has been very resistant to having someone come into her home and help, she fears being taken advantage of. So far the experience has been positive. The caretaker is kind, gentle and responsive.

Our caregiver comes twice a week to help my wife with whatever her needs are in the afternoons. She always arrives on time and does some light housekeeping while she is here. She also helps my wife with making greeting cards and she is very sweet and a good companion.

I appreciate the way the office keeps me up to date on any changes in our personnel or schedules. I recently visited the main office and found a welcoming environment and wonderfully gracious people. It goes without saying the our care giving services are absolutely top notch! Caregivers are well-trained and very responsive to our needs. The caregiving is a definite respite for me as a healthy husband.

My phone conversation with Jo A. today was very helpful, not only in getting a senior care person to take my mother to the market tomorrow, but she also took all the time I needed to discuss other concerns I have regarding who my mother may need to contact for other situations (i.e. her oxygen machine stops working) if I'm not available. Jo A. was truly listening and offered insights as to resources and other important information that should be written down for my mother. Estes Park is fortunate to have this wonderful senior care support system to help out when there is no other family close by.

We have been using Home Instead for about four months. They come into our home and stay while I run errands. We chose it because of their location and the price. There are various helpers who are all good. I will recommend them because they are efficient and effective for the value.
