I know that the Home Instead staff work hard with me to form a team in supporting my Mom. We’ve been doing this for about 18 months now. It isn’t easy for any of us. Occasionally things aren’t perfect. That is to be expected. The question is, when thing aren’t quite right what happens? Home Instead works hard to rectify difficulties and to insure that they don’t happen again.I have worked with other companies. They don’t compare. My experiences were far from acceptable. I recommend Home Instead for their dedication and kindness. It is clear that the staff are empowered by their management to make things happen correctly. This is important and hard to evaluate except by experience and direct contact. When choosing a senior care firm, regard all media advertising with caution. I consider it "hype". Check references. Be ready to work for a solution. Meet your caregivers first and be willing to pay for the meeting time. If the company won’t let this happen, the wellbeing of your loved one is not their priority.I’d say this process is about 5 times more difficult than finding childcare, after school care, camps, etc. for you children. It’s good to have an experienced, caring firm to partner with. Home Instead is such a partner.

We are using Hope & Fonder LLC, and its been very good. Yvonne, the manager, has been very receptive. Unfortunately, we gone through a couple of health aides, but we have one thats permanent, and were hoping shell stay. We only need her four hours a day for four days a week. Shes fabulous, and my parents are very comfortable with her. She helps my mother with bathing, she cooks for them, cleans around the house, and keeps the house very tidy. She reminds my mother about taking her medication, makes sure she takes them on time, and monitors her heart rate and blood pressure. She has gone to the pharmacy to buy medications for them. I feel reassured if somebody is there. Pricing-wise it’s pretty competitive and its worth it.

Determining Your Loved One’s Need for In-Home Care
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.
Guidelines for Talking About In-Home Care
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.
