"Lisa and her team provided excellent care to my spouse with Alzheimers for the last 2 yrs. Sandy was so good with him and became a great friend and advisor to me. Her kind gentle spirit and laid back manner were a perfect fit for us . Valerie was super in providing overnight care , I couldn't have managed without her. Dawn was also provided great service and I believe Chuck loved watching animal programs with her! I can't thank them enough."

"The agency takes care of my husband who has had back surgery, broken pelvis, and infection in the break. The caregiver is always on time and usually a few minutes early. We have fallen in love with our caregivers. They share our lives and we share theirs. The agency has been quick to fulfill any requests that we make. We feel very blessed to have been able to work with Home Instead Senior Care and their able staff."

"I refer to Personal Home Care when I get a request for care in Salem. I would like to explain why I think Personal Home Care is the best in Salem. Personal Home Care has been in business for over 25 years. The owner is a Registered Nurse and has been involved Licensure for In-home Care since legislation was first introduced in Oregon. Sharon has served on the committee that helped to write the Rules for Licensure and has also been involved with the Oregon Health Care Association In-home Care Committee. I have been impressed with how Sharon runs her In-home Care Agency and Sharon's committment and passion for helping those she serves. For example, I called to speak to Sharon last December and was told Sharon and some caregivers were cooking Holiday gifts for clients. When I refer to Personal Home Care, I have total confidence that the client will be well taken care of. "

"Interim Healthcare of Salem OR was my first home care provider. They sent me untrained caregivers who could not even do a blood pressure check. Their caregivers provided very poor service. Their scheduling and billing services are very poor, too. All I can say is they have incompetent caregivers. I would not recommend them. "

"I had First Call In Home Care for quite some time and I liked them. I've had problems with leg infections and that's the only thing that made sense to me why they didn't renew coming back. I was supposed to wear plastic adapters on my skin and put bandage on. Some nurse thought she didn't need to do that, and so she put the bandage on and the next time the bandage was taken off, all my skin came off and I was bleeding profusely. I was screaming, and I think I scared the man in-charge of that place. I appreciated the aides and the nurses. It worked out for a while until they just dropped me overnight. They checked my vital signs, washed my leg and put cream on the non-wound part, and they did 3 kinds of wraps on it. I was very pleased with the care."

"Our worker, Theresa F., is very professional and friendly. I trust her with my life and she never lets me down. She gets in and gets the job done yet always has time to talk. If every caregiver at ADDUS were as good, they would be constantly hiring excellent caregivers to keep up with the demand. We think of Theresa as family. "

"I am a current client of FirstLight Home Care of Salem. We love the caregiver that come into the home. They were very flexible, and everything is working out beautifully. They help with food preparation, bathing, toiletries, laundry, and friendship. She does puzzles with my mom, and she's also there when doctors come. She's been very good. We chose them because they responded to me first, and they were able to do the number of hours that we had requested."

"My mother had a caregiver through Mennonite In-Home Care Services for about a year. We were very blessed that the first caregiver they sent was a perfect match. They chose their caregivers based on the interview with my mother. It was really great. They gave her all of the personal care she needed including bathing, toileting, cooking, kept the house tidy, and did her laundry. The caregiver was great."

Given the high cost of in-home care, many people use one or more forms of financial assistance to cover the expenses. Below, we explain some of the most common sources of financial help for paying for in-home care. If none of these options are available to you, you can reach out to your Area Agency on Aging or Aging and Disability Resource Center to learn about local resources.
Seniors who live in Salem can lower their home care expenses through several programs offered by government and non-profit agencies.

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.
