"It’s been two years, more or less (at 91years, time gets fuzzy) since I began using Hone Instead services, after an equal number of extremely frustrating years with other companies. Working with such reliable staff and caregivers has been an immense relief. As I no longer drive, some of my needs have been for transportation to medical appointments and so on, but the bulk of them are for care in my apartment: laundry, cleaning, plant-watering, pill box-filling, computer help, etc. Most important, for me at least, is to be comfortable with the person who’s helping me - which I have been with my Home Instead aides - most especially, with my current care-giver, Denise. She’s a great problem-solver and unusually self-motivated; eg: when she’s doing routine tasks, if she notices something out of the ordinary that needs doing, little or big, she just pitches in, on her own. And she’s able to remind me to take my pills or do other necessary tasks in a fashion that’s matter-of-fact, rather than infantilizing or annoying (as has occurred with other caregivers, in the past). In addition, she has a quirky skepticism about life, which I appreciate, and which gives us spirited times together, laughing ruefully at the world around us, particularly, at ourselves. Bottom line: I look forward to her arrival each day she’s scheduled to come, and feel ever-so-lucky to have her in my life, helping me cope with my every-day practicalities and challenges. "
