"Visiting Angels of Princess Anne is very good. It's my best friend that they're caring for. The people that come out always look so nice. They're very courteous and clean. They enable my best friend to get out and about for errands. They even took her to lunch the other day because she was meeting me for lunch, so they were able to bring her. They help with bathing, and she always looks so nice. She has a difficult time getting around, so they assist her in and out of the shower making sure that she's safe. Afterwards, she is always dressed to the nines. She's a very sharp dresser. They always make sure she looks wonderful like she always has. They were highly recommended. It's wonderful that they include her daughter in on the billing. They send a copy to her daughter, which is a very nice service. It's very prompt. I don't think she's ever had any problems with their scheduling. They're very accessible and very reachable. They're safe, comforting, and professional. It enables family members to have quality care with their loved ones."

"I have only been with Home Instead for a few months, but am so glad I made the decision, The very first person they sent to me as a caregiver was a perfect fit for our family. She is energetic and so efficient. I was having a problem getting my husband to bath and she gets him in the shower every time she is with him. That in itself is worth it! My stress level has gone down now that I know I have reliable help to get us through this trial. "

"My dad was discharged from the hospital on a Saturday and someone came out that same day to see him and meet with our family. Most of the other agencies I called would not meet us over the weekend. The aid they sent was warm and caring and my dad just loves her. Everyone that has been out is very professional. "

"My brother has a 24-hour caregiver at home with him right now from Moore Comfort Home Care. The caregivers that they send to my house are excellent. Communication is very good. They do everything like cleaning, light cooking, dressing, and bathing, whatever is asked of them. They are very pleasant, friendly, fun, loving, and caring individuals. Their schedules are 8 to 4, 4 to 12 and 12 to 8. They are very prompt and on time. I would recommend them to anybody. They're one of the best agencies that I've worked with."

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.
