"RAH was able to fill in caregivers on very short notice. Arrivals on time; even when one had to take an Uber ! I communicated with caregivers on a cooperative and regular basis, in order to make sure we were all on the same page for seamless care. Care was provided for a very elderly, proud and dignified gentleman. His caregivers treated him as such. That was extremely important to me. Light housekeeping, laundry and meal prep as well. "

"My sister-in-law referred us to Home Instead for assistance with my Mom, who lives with me and who needed personal care after a fall and related fracture, as well as companionship as she has dementia and does not like to be alone for any length of time. Donna has been wonderful in matching my Mom with compassionate and attentive care providers over this past year since they started providing care. The agency has also gone above and beyond in arranging weekend care shifts when we've needed that on occasion. Mom's caregiver is kind, attentive, a problem-solver, and always has a positive outlook - my mother really enjoys her company at home and out on errands in the community."
