The 10 Best Home Care Agencies for Seniors in Mentor, OH for 2025

"I needed to hire some home health care help for my dad as he was at home under hospice care, and very frail. Friends at church recommended Home Instead Senior Care in Oakwood, OH and his main Care Professional Diane D. was a kind and capable help to my dad. After he passed I needed help for my mom to keep her at home and Diane D. has continued as mom's Care Professional. She takes great care of mom, is always available and willing and has become a loved and good friend to her as well. I recommend this agency and Diane to anyone."

"We've been using Home Instead for a little over five-and-a-half years now. Every morning, seven days a week, and then Monday through Friday, twice a day, they come out. The service is very good or I wouldn't have kept them for five-and-a-half years. I like it because it's a smaller agency although Home Instead is part of a nationwide company. I know everybody that I need to know there. When I have issues that do come up time to time, one thing that's good about them is that I can pick up the phone and get somebody the majority of the time or email them and get a response very quickly. It's the response and taking care of an issue if need be. Through the years, we've obviously had a few caregivers. We've had one for quite a number of years prior to this. My mom now has severe dementia so her needs have changed from even a year and a half ago, let alone five years ago. Cassandra has been with my mom for more than a year. She's there almost every day, sometimes twice a day. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, she has a morning shift and she has the late afternoon shift or early evening shift. My mother has to be fed majority of the time. The other caregivers are more part time, but one thing good about them is that they're all versed on elder care as it relates to dementia, including hospice because they've worked at different entities throughout the years at different assisted living and with hospice patients. My mom is bedbound. Their duties include bathing her and changing her daily, which is a skillset within itself when it comes to somebody that's bedridden. They're very knowledgeable. My mom also has a Foley catheter that they're very versed on, not just emptying it, but also inspecting it daily to make sure that there's no irritation and there's no blood in the catheter. One good thing also is that Cassandra along with all of them take very, very good notes. They have a Home instead book, not just what they're feeding my mother which includes sometimes puree meal. The notes that they take are excellent. When a sibling comes in or if I come in and look at them or a physician or RN or AP comes in, they can easily go back a week or two weeks and look at notes and get a feeling for everything that's going on with her, including frequency of BM and things of that nature. They're not perfect, but one thing I do appreciate is that when a problem does arise, it's taken care of very quickly."

"We only needed in-home night care for a short time. Reluctantly, Mary and I agreed to give it a chance. Laura was assigned to us and I could hear them talking the first night so I knew we found the right person to be with Mary which allowed me to sleep. We found Laura to be compassionate, caring, friendly and very attentive to Mary's needs. We asked Laura for additional nights and she changed her busy schedule for us. When we no longer required help, Laura asked to come and say goodbye. Mary was no longer responsive but on her own time Laura visited and talked with Mary's three children and talked to Mary while she swabbed her mouth. I can't thank you enough Laura."

"I was very pleased with the caregivers who visited mom over the past 6 months. Each person was very caring, well-trained and professional. They communicated clearly and offered suggestions. Highly recommend!"

"I have been using Good Hands Home Care in Cleveland for about three years now. The caregiver helps in preparing my meals, doing my laundry and minor cooking and cleaning, and bathing certain parts of my body. They come three hours a day, five days a week."

"When Anna came to work for me she started to do things with out being told/asked to do... She has an amazing attitude and is funny she really makes my day when she is here. She will be hard to replace if she ever has to move on.. "

"I am a stroke victim in a wheelchair and In Home Angels are very nice people. They're a very nice group. I have an excellent experience with them. I was with another agency prior and cost kept on mounting and getting prohibitive. So I met Carrie she worked for the agency I used to have her for a short while and she then decided to form her own agency with her 2 other partners. My experience has been quite good with them. The people they sent to help me are all very qualified. They're very patient and nice people. I had no difficulty with any of them. I have been using them for a little over a year now and I'm quite happy with them. Everybody they sent were quite efficient and knows what they're doing. I came back from a nursing home where I ended up breaking my left leg and broke my left ankle too. So when I came back here I was on a hospital bed. Eventually I gotten myself transferred to my own bed but I still have to use a hoyer lift. They're very good about helping me in and out of bed with the hoyer lift. They help me exercise and strengthen my leg and feet. The last time I was able to walk was in December 2nd 2010. "

"The caregiver from Family First Home Care is doing a great job and does the things that we ask her to do. Most importantly, my mother likes her and they get along. I talked to mom on Sunday, and she was in a good mood and very pleased with the caregiver that comes to help her. "

"Last year I hired this company to help care for my dad while he battled Alzheimer's. They stuck with us until the very end. It was a difficult time for my family. The caregiver was amazing. She was always on time, very understanding & she even attended his funeral. If I ever needed this company again I would absolutely hire them. I wish this company well."
