Mary's family are so very pleased with the office staff for so delightfully providing conscientious, efficient, capable and kindly loving caregivers. All of the caregivers [ regular and substitutes] come to the house on time, are very attentive to Mary and the family needs and seemed to have bonded well with all of us.Home Instead, Norwood has always been on top of the substitute arrangements so that they are always available in a timely manner. We are pleased with our choice of Home Instead and especially pleased with all of the caregivers.

Home Instead is our guardian angel on earth. We needed to utilize their services during a very difficult time in our mother's life and they were a game changer. Their compassion and attention to detail is something that can't be taught or coached. These were unchartered waters for us and they helped us every step of the way. They seemed to know what we needed and were always helpful with suggestions that would benefit our mom the most. I can't say enough about Brenda in the office - she made us feel at ease and had a gentle approach to handling all of our needs. Her devotion to her job and those she's responsible for is remarkable. She was extremely easy to work with and always met and exceeded our needs. Especially ensuring that she placed the right caregivers to assist our mom. She's someone you'd want as a close friend and her loyalty to her profession and clients is praiseworthy. Shirley was one of our primary caregivers and she is everything that Brenda is - caring, loyal, gentle and experienced. She had an approach with our mom that was soothing and trustworthy. We will forever be indebted to them and Home Instead for helping us during a very difficult transition. My family and I were at peace knowing mom was well cared for. We are eternally grateful.

The staff is well trained and everyone is so nice. The billing is organized. No criticism whatsoever! And that’s from an old lady who knows where it’s at!

I was extremely happy to get to know you folks and especially Carolyn. I would love to continue with Carolyn's help, but none of my numbers won the lottery. Nevertheless, I have many, many happy memories about the time I spent with Home Instead in Norwood. Thanks to all of you.
