"As a client responsible for providing care for members of a residence, I am grateful I called on Home Instead. Since 2011 Home Instead has worked with us as much and as little as we needed to provide the best match for our members. Being able to keep the members of our residence safe and well cared for in their own home has been a blessing. Sincerely, Margaret "

"I've been using Arcadia New England Home Care for a few years now. I have somebody that comes in the house once a week helping me around the house, cleaning the bathrooms and the kitchens, etc., things I can't do because of my health. She comes in once a week from 9:30 to 1:00 for three-and-a-half hours. I love her to death. I had other people before her, and it didn't go as well as I had expected. This new girl works out very well for me. She takes care of my needs. She offers if there's anything she can do."

"I didn’t investigate too many facilities, but Home to Stay had a good reputation. I have a long care term insurance, and they were approved by my insurance company. They provide cleaning help for us, cooking, transportation, help to medical doctor appointments, and they provide anything that I need. The caregivers were all extremely nice, and they’re very kind to my wife which I think is very important. They know what they’re doing -- trained as CNAs -- and I can contact their boss anytime for either a complaint or something to say that they’re doing a wonderful job and she is constantly in-touch with me, so I’m very pleased with their agency.

"We went with Cranberry Home Care. They are excellent and provide my mom everything that a personal care assistant would do, like bathing, laundry, meal prep, and house cleaning. Every single one of them is wonderful. They love their job and really care about helping other people. Cranberry Home Care is very good about working with the family. If the family were to find another agency or private care to come in, they work with everyone that comes into the home, and they work out a schedule with the family. They're very flexible. They really listen to what the family's needs are and provide referral to other agencies that may help, for instance, possible veterans benefits like for my father and possibly we needed elder attorney. They were able to refer us to a couple different names. They have been very helpful."

"The South Shore and Cape teams at Comfort Keepers have been great. Although my parents did not always have consistency of caregivers - all of the ones we did have were great. They do have a rule that caregivers not bring phones or electronics in the home and our caregivers followed this to the letter. We moved out of the area - but if we ever to return I would call them immediately. "

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.
