"I used Home Instead for my husband. It's excellent. We went through a long journey of caretaking and stopped and he was in the hospital and back on, and they consistently helped me when there was a worker that got sick or whatever. Karen, the scheduler, Myra, the case manager, and Jill, who is in the operations office, were all very nice. When a problem came up, they were very helpful in resolving everything. I met with a couple agencies, and I just liked their presentation, liked how they were going to bill out and that sort of thing, and I liked the open-ended commitment from them. Certainly, problems would come up, but we resolved everything very quickly and very nicely. Scheduling was great because we had different caretakers over the many months. It actually extended into a couple of years of working with them. Once I started with them and I was pleased, I just stayed with them."
