"Home Instead sits with my 98-year old mother so that my husband and I can go to church together on Sundays again. Before finding them, we were taking turns but missing the time to be together on our drive to church and back. They worked it out so that we could also have extra time a couple Sundays to watch a grandchild's soccer game as well. It was a huge blessing to us!"

"Our family had dealt with HCI (Hospice of Central Iowa) both in-home care and the actually HCI facility. Our mother of 93 years of age was told by her doctor that he could no longer handle her medical affairs and she was living her last few months with assistance from HCI in-home nurse and aide. The comfort both the nurse and aide provided us with, was absolutely a remarkable experience! They always had smiles on their faces and were so gentle with Mom and it made us feel at ease (since we thought we were the only ones to give mom the love she deserved). The last month of mom's life, we transported her to the HCI Facility, we could not of been more happier with the way the nurses and aides handled mom. They really made us feel comfortable with our stay there. So gentle, compassionate and caring all of the staff was to not only Mom but all of our family. Since losing mom, we look back and could not have asked for a more comforting, caring and loving place for her last days of life. They prepared us and mom for her end of life and made our lives more acceptable for the loss of mom. I would recommend them to any family in our area to assist in any end of life experience. The whole staff are angels on earth!! "
