"The agency has been first class and endeavors to provide each client with the caregiver that will meet their needs. Currently, we have one caregiver who works from 0900-1700 Monday - Friday. We are awaiting assignment for a caregiver to work the evening shift and weekends. Their response to our need and request is alway positive. It never ceases to amaze me how well they do in selecting compatible caregivers for us. Cindy, our current caregiver is awesome. She is always punctual and works from start to finish eating here lunch between tasks. Her daily performance is the epitome of what you desire and strive for in your organization. I am very happy with the performance of your agency and with the caregivers you have selected for us."

"My mom has dementia and falls down sometimes. It got to the point where I was afraid to leave her alone. Home Care Assistance has been amazing and such a relief! Lolia has really exceeded my expectations. She is very well trained in dealing with people with dementia and is such a great cook! My mom had been eating poorly prior to starting service. I would recommend to anyone needing help! "

"Although these caretakers do everything they are supposed to when spending time with my mom, the service itself is very unreliable. In the past month, there have been four times that no one has shown up at the scheduled time, and we did not receive a call from the agency notifying us of this. This left my mom in a bad situation since she is a fall risk and was then left to fend for herself at meal time. If we had known that no one was coming, we could have made other arrangements. Not a dependable service at all."

"We have been very happy with At Home Preferred. Mom at first needed and wanted part-time companion care- someone to assist around the house, run errands, and even take her to appointments. The caregivers were wonderful, and this worked for a while until Mom's health began to seriously decline. Our caregiver needs changed quickly, and I was so impressed with the company's response. My contact at At Home Preferred is Lea Ann, and she has always been quick to respond, caring, kind, and completely professional.The caregivers are and have been so good to Mom; so caring and patient and willing to help her in any way that they can. Some of the current caregivers have been with Mom since we started, even though the shifts have lengthened considerably, and Mom has really appreciated that. Our entire family is so grateful. "

"They have been great for the past 3 months (give or take). If any new aides come to help, the owner shows up to show them the ropes. The aides have been caring and compassionate. They're on time and respectful. They help out with anything we need. We have been happy overall with the quality of their service. "

Given the high cost of in-home care, many people use one or more forms of financial assistance to cover the expenses. Below, we explain some of the most common sources of financial help for paying for in-home care. If none of these options are available to you, you can reach out to your Area Agency on Aging or Aging and Disability Resource Center to learn about local resources.
There are many free and affordable resources for seniors in Carmel who want to age in place. The city and state governments, as well as local nonprofits, can deliver meals, provide legal advice, schedule paratransit service and offer care management.

Aging can be a difficult process, and loved ones may not always ask for help – often times it’s up to their family to evaluate their need for help around the house. While no two situations are exactly alike, this checklist can help you and your loved ones determine when it’s time to start the search for a home care provider.
If you’ve determined that your loved one needs the assistance of a care provider in their home, it may be time for a difficult conversation. Handled correctly, however, this process can bring a family together and ensure that everyone’s concerns are addressed. Use this PDF as a starting point to help the conversation stay as positive and productive as possible.
