"Michael is Joe's caregiver and he is excellent in every way! We are so blessed!"

"Home Instead caretakers have all been reliable, as well as receptive to both my father's needs, and to my requests. The staff on the phone at Home Instead is very responsive and has always followed up very quickly with any questions or adjustments I may need."

"We had to place my mother in an assisted living facility. We did not realize how severe her dementia was. We had to have Right at Home take care of my mother for several weeks until we could get her in a nursing home facility with a Dementia Unit. Right at Home came in every day of the week for about 18 hours a day at the assisted living facility. My mother was scared and anxious. She never could have made through those weeks without the excellent care that was provided by the Right at Home staff. My mother is doing very well now. Thank you Right at Home for helping my mother and family get through those trying times. "

"My sister and I contacted Home Instead in North Andover at a difficult moment, when our father began to exhibit signs of serious mental decline that called for 24/7 assistance, when we each lived some three hours away, in Rhode Island and Connecticut. Within a day or two of our reaching out, the amazing staff had constructed — somehow — a team of caregivers who were with Dad in 6- or 12-hour shifts, consistently, patiently, gently and generously. We frankly were stunned at both the speed of HISC’s response, and the manner with which every aide approached the tasks of being with a very intelligent, private, confused and often obstreperous 89-year old New England Yankee. Everyone to a person has been great: professional, attentive, communicative and able to deal with virtually any issue. We are so grateful. We’ve often looked at each other, wondered what we would have done without this service, and how we might possibly have handled the situation on our own. In a word, we couldn’t."

"Gold Star Home Care Agency has been excellent! Every day the Health aides that come are so kind, gracious and professional. Not only do they take wonderful care of my health needs such as dressing and helping with meals and going with me to doctor and PT appointments and they are enjoyable to be with. We enjoy talking together and sometimes even doing fun projects together. I am very grateful for their experience and their presence each day."

"Home Instead, as an agency, has constantly and consistently pivoted to meet my needs for my father. They have truly been my partner in his care. I appreciate their transparency, heart, inventiveness and work ethic. They have also been receptive and supportive as I spin thoughts off them, in this never ending puzzle. I feel so fortunate to have them. Caregiver capabilities, proactivity and engagement levels vary but I believe that is an industry-standard, and Home Instead does try to place the right fit. Caregivers are always on time and kind."

"Christine (Chrissy) has been working with my mom for nearly 6 months. My mom and Chrissy have become the best of friends and we consider her family. Chrissy is friendly, always arrives with a smile and cares for mom like she was her own mother! Chrissy does homemaking services for my mom which is such a huge help. Chrissy has told my mom that she just loves these visits because they make her day! It's such a relief to me knowing that my mom is in great hands with Chrissy. We are incredibly lucky to have Chrissy as our homemaker. Thank you Right at Home and Chrissy! "

"Our care provider, Felicia, returned after her maternity leave and has been a wonderful aide to my Mom, who is 100 yrs old and in her own assisted living apartment. Felicia is very patient and anticipates my Mom's needs. It is a great comfort knowing my Mom has a caring companion to start her day! "

"We have Senior Helpers Boston North for my mother. They offer light cleaning and companionship. They will come and cook her meal. They're just there with her at night before she goes to bed to assist with anything that she needs like help her change, help her to the bathroom, maybe help her clean up, and things like that. We had this one lady, and she was phenomenal. She just clicked with my mother. I can't say anything but great things about her. She was fantastic."
