"Throughout the two years we have used Home Instead services, Jennifer and Sandy have always gone above and beyond. Sandy and Jennifer are always available. They call anytime there are concerns or questions about my grandma’s health & happiness. Home Instead provided a spectrum of care from a daily helper to hospice support. My grandma was a little naughty, but her care providers were always thoughtful and patient. When my grandma was having a bad day they would redirect her with kindness. The girls became my grandma’s closest companions while we were not able to visit. They played games, watched tv, and assisted her in daily tasks. They even bathed, walked and took out her dog! They would send food, grocery and supply needs so I could easily deliver for drop offs. While preparing for hospice care, I was finally allowed in her apartment after seven months. Her space was immaculate, clothes were clean and organized, and her living space was neat and fresh. They took care of all housekeeping in conjunction with caring for her health. You want someone to take care of your loved ones like you would and that’s exactly what Home Instead did for our grandma. We will forever be thankful to Sandy, Jennifer and the girls. "

"Home Helpers were local and they went through our local chamber of commerce so I felt comfortable with them. A head person came and met with me and my mom first. They talked over everything, and then the second time when she came, she brought a caregiver with her and spent about an hour with my mom and they started from there. The caregivers are fine. They drive her to and from the local stores or pharmacy. They help her do laundry, housework, make her bed, and take her to doctor’s appointments. The only problem I have is that they called us a few times where they didn’t have anybody to come out because somebody was sick and since she started, they’ve had 3 different people come which I’m not too crazy about.

"I cannot say what a relief it was to find HomeWell Care Services (NWI). I live out of town and my aunt, who lives alone, needed help after a short nursing home stay for rehabilitation. I am able to visit often but due to work, I could not be there as much as I would like. So I knew I had to make another decision. When I called HomeWell, I actually spoke with one of the owners. She was the nicest person and was so helpful. Very knowledgeable. They were able to send someone out to speak to my aunt and myself and were able to start services shortly thereafter. From helping her get up and dressed in the morning, to helping her with meals and tidying her house, doing her laundry, grocery shopping and even monitoring her physically after her rehab stay, it has been fantastic to have HomeWell's help. At first, we were a little nervous about having new people in the home for her care but the caregivers they have sent were kind and respectful. This service was something we should have done long ago for her. We will definitely keep them around. So thankful we found HomeWell!"

"Right At Home caretakers were such good companions and helpers for my mom on a part time basis so that my life could be made a little easier. The staff was willing to work with my schedule and very understanding about the different hours the caretakers were needed. My mom really didn't need constant attention but the ladies helped to oversee what she could do on her own and even helped her with some exercises. Having them here made me feel at ease know she was in good hands when I couldn't be there. "

"As a working man, I am so grateful for the girl who cares for my mom. Her companion Sabrina is very good and I can rest easy when I know she is there. Mom loves Sabrina's cooking and their trips to the grocery store. The owner is truly one of a kind also. She is very caring, and always calls to check on mom and find out how her care is going. We will be with them for a long time. "

Our clients are able to live safely in the comfort of their homes – even with complex medical situations – we evaluate every aspect of our clients' health — medical, functional, psychosocial, emotional and spiritually then implement care consistently and professionally.

Both are important to us and we look to meet the needs of each one. We keep our clients at home and when needed if necessary we provide 24-hour medical homes for seniors at their request.

"We are current clients of this provider. Mike, the owner, and his staff were very prompt and responsive with our initial inquiry about services that they could provide. There were other organizations in the area we had attempted to contact and they were not nearly as responsive. Senior Helpers were very forthcoming with services available and rates for different levels of service provided. They are very fair in this regard compared to other organizations in the area. They did a very thorough job of explaining what types of services they offered and discussed some special situations in which assistance was available- specifically in regards to wartime veterans benefit. He helped to make sure that the providers who started to come out were a good fit with our 98 year old Grandmother of 6. They have been very helpful in organizing these services and the help has been very reliable and have helped to keep our beloved Grandmother functioning safely in her home environment. Mike has some invaluable insight having gone through this process with his own family and I think that this has given him some unique perspective into the situation that families are going through with a loved one who needs help. This organization carries itself with a great deal of integrity and earnestness. Cannot recommend them highly enough. "

"We used We Are Family Home Care for my mom in the past. Their representative came out and we listened to her presentation about the agency; we liked her personality. So that's why we hired them. They didn't have the right caregiver for my mother. We got the schedule that we requested and we had someone available for the schedule, but as far as the replacement for the caregiver that wasn't right for my mom, they didn't have anybody available. So we had to go with another agency. They provide homecare and light housekeeping, although the person that we got didn't do any light housekeeping."

"The hospice nurse recommended Need a Helping Hand. They provided assistance with feeding, bathing, and changing; just the normal things. They would cook if you need them to cook. They were very professional and very friendly. Their scheduling was excellent because I brought Mom home from the hospital on Friday, and they had somebody there that evening for me. I was very happy with them."

"I love the personalized care that my aunt gets. Some of the angels do art projects, puzzles, or crafts with her which helps pass the time. All girls are different in little ways. Some are excellent at keeping the house clean and making meals. The owners are great, getting back to me if there are any issues schedule-wise. All-in-all I am very pleased with their service which we have 24/7 and my aunt can live her senior life out in the comfort of her own home❤️"

For the price of care, I would not recommend it. They are there because I cannot be there. I can't spend all day with her. Some caregivers are excellent and some are not.
