"Be very specific about your needs and times you require the services. This may be difficult at first, if you aren't sure what you really need. Communication with whichever home care agency you choose is critical. Everyone at Home Instead was very helpful and accomodating. The care my mother received was excellent (for the most part). There were a few glitches along the way, but that is to be expected with any kind of service. The important thing is that my concerns were addressed in a timely and satisfactory manor. I would recommend Home Instead."

"Currently my husband is in a Memory Care facility and required a 1 on 1 caregiver to acclimate to the home. There have been times when my husband attempted to follow me out the door but the caregiver redirected him and a uncomfortable situation was avoided. They help him with his daily grooming including assisting with shaving, washing his hair and brushing his teeth. They also assist with dressing and make sure he is using the toilet facilities. The caregiver has built up a wonderful relationship with my husband which has been invaluable since COVID-19 caused a shutdown of the home and I was unable to visit. I have met with the caregivers on several occasions and they have always been punctual, respective and very concerned for my husbands safety and wellbeing. They have made sure that my husband is eating his meals, exercise him frequently and attempt to take him outdoors weather permitting. I have received calls from the agency with updates and when I have had questions regarding coverage or billing I have always received a prompt response. They have worked closely with me to adjust caregivers hours in an attempt to reduce costs yet make sure that my husband's needs are being met."

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.
Older adults in West Bend make important decisions regarding their long-term care plans with the help of several local nonprofit agencies and programs.

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.
