Albuquerque, NM, is a city with a rich cultural heritage and many popular attractions for seniors, including the historic Old Town and Sandia Peak. With its picturesque views, New Mexican cuisine and temperate climate, it’s no wonder that 14.6% of the city’s 560,513 residents are aged 65 and older.

According to Genworth Financial’s 2019 Cost of Care Survey, the average monthly cost for both in-home care and home health care in Albuquerque is $4,376. These costs are on par with the national averages of $4,290 for homemaker services and $4,385 for home health care.

We’ve been using Interim for a month and a half for my father. They come in four hours a day, and they do meal preparations, light housekeeping, and run errands. He’s been very happy with them; he has one that comes most of the time, and he really likes her. They’ve done very well with scheduling. I’ve been happy so far and would recommend them to others.

During my time with this company, I had to do more work trying to get them to show up and stick to a schedule than I even got help for. They were supposed to come 14 hours a week and on the time clock in on my phone and then out on my phone. They would skip clock out at some times if they even sent me someone. I got a transfer about two months ago after 3 or 4 formal reports against them and their poor treatment of me, the lack of consistency or caregivers showing up period, and other issues dealing with how they were supposed to help that many did not want to do.
The staff showed up late and left early most of the time.
The interaction with the caregivers that did show up was very strange, many I had to report afterward for issues like, not wanting to clean, not wanting to go in the store, simple things they were being paid by my insurance to do.
The agency was almost the opposite of responsive to my request almost as if they would push back even more or ignore me out of spite when I would bring up issues.
This is my review and I would give them 0 stars if possible, I am still looking for a new company because of how poor they left things.
Makes me sad but many people try to get over on me as a disabled individual

This is the most unorganized, unprofessional group of people I have had the displeasure to work with. They pass the buck on billing issues, their employees spend their time texting and not caring for their clients. I stopped service in May and they are still billing me for services and have not returned my deposit! I had to go the bank and deny their auto-pay status. They are more trouble than they are worth. Don’t waste your time, use another company.

I used Homewatch CareGivers last year. One of their workers came on Saturday morning. She got the grocery list from me. She did the grocery shopping, came back, washed and prepped all the vegetables, did light house cleaning like mopping the floor, sweeping, and also did my laundry. It was basically three hours each time. They gave me the standard service. They did relatively decently. I had to change the person that came in because there was quite a language barrier. The first lady that was coming in was from another country, and we were able to communicate for the most part, but for specific tasks, there were issues in communicating. She let my cat out by accident one day. There was an issue with that. Then, they actually switched the person, and the second person was much better.

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.
