I got a gal from Home Instead that comes here three times a week, three hours a day. Leslie is great. We think of her just like our daughter She vacuums the floor, cleans the bathroom, does the dishes, gives me a bath, and helps me make the bed. She helps with general housework basically. I've had no problems with Home Instead.

We used Home Instead to provide a caregiver to my father-in-law. He lives in a small community in Western Nebraska and we were thrilled to find such a high level of service in such a small town. Because of the tremendous care he received, he was able to stay in his home much longer than he would have otherwise. His caregiver became his friend and an invaluable resource for all of us. She treated him like her own family member, always going above and beyond to make sure he was safe and healthy. The Home Instead staff communicated with us often and adapted to meet our family needs. I recommend them highly!

Our dad was able to remain and thrive in his home until his passing. He did not have to leave the comforts of his home and transition to a memory care facility. With every challenge, Home Instead/North Platte without exception always exceeded our expectations. I can't recommend this organization highly enough. We shall always be grateful for the care the good people of Home Instead provided for my day. Extraordinary.

I'm using Home Instead - North Platte, NE. They come to my home a couple of times a week and take care of me. I've been using them for close to five years now. My wife had them for a couple of years and then when she passed, they took on me and kept on me. They clean the floors, the bathroom, kitchen, they vacuum and mop, they do my laundry, and whatever I need done. The caregiver is very good. Billing and scheduling are very good. I'm very satisfied with them and they really seem to want to please you.

Home Instead is taking care of my father with dementia. This agency is very easy to work with. The caregivers are amazing and do everything possible to let him live his best life with his disease. I feel like I can call and let them know any concerns or problems I may have and they do their best to fix it.

My wife is a client of Home Instead. The caregivers give her good care and they're here to see when she has to go to the bathroom or something like that and take care of that. They do housecleaning and they do whatever she needs is done. They don't give any meds. There isn't any med that she takes during the time that they're here. They make sure that if she has to go to the bathroom, she's clean and everything like that. They come from 1:00 to 5:00 in the afternoon and we have dinner at noon and I get supper after they leave. They don't do meals, but it's very important that they be here because there are things that I have to do. We're on a farm, so there are things that I have to do on the farm. I can't really leave my wife and so it's very important that somebody is here, so that I can do some of these other things that I need to get done. They communicate with me and they know that if I'm not available, they can talk to our daughter who is 200 miles away.

I have really appreciated the genuine care for my Mom with Alzheimer’s. Even though Mom doesn’t understand or carry on conversations they treat her and talk with her like she can. They have gone above and beyond to provide services when we needed them. As a nurse I am pretty particular about my moms care. Home Instead has proven their abilities and have helped me trust that they are giving her the best care when I can’t be there!

I was very satisfied with the care my Mom received from her caregivers. I always had good communication with them. My weekly visits I would leave a note for the caregivers about doing this or that for mom. Not once did I get the impression they felt I was coming off as a "Bossy Daughter". I really appreciated receiving a text every Tuesday with a list of supplies for mom. That helped me a lot. I will always be thankful that Home Instead caregivers helped me keep my mom in her own home as long as we could.

They helped with bathing and read to her. All in all, I give them an A+.

Home Instead is doing an excellent job. We're very happy with them. Mom is 88. They help her clean the house, the nooks and crannies, they help her run loads of laundry because it's downstairs. They've been very personable. Joan, from the office, is always available when I have questions. They do have a little extra touch and they always have time to talk if I have a concern.

Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care

Home Instead employs experienced, trained Care Pros who are able to provide person- focused dementia care for seniors who are living with Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, or other forms of dementia. These Care Pros offer personal care services, along with the following:

  • Assistance in establishing a stable daily routine
  • Meal preparation
  • Positive reinforcement
  • Assistance with social skills
  • Transportation to and from appointments, errands, and visits with loved ones

Care Pros in this role take time to understand clients’ life histories and to focus on the person they were before dementia. Just as with the company’s personal care services, each dementia care client undergoes a comprehensive assessment and is assigned a care plan. This plan is reviewed regularly and adjusted to meet changing needs.

Hospice Support

When a senior is nearing the end of their life, hospice support can be there to ensure the comfort of them and their family members. Hospice support Care Pros can help with hygiene, medication administration, and basic housekeeping for seniors, as well as provide nutritious meals and supportive care for family members, enabling loved ones to spend as much time with seniors as possible as they approach their final days or hours.

Transportation services from Home Instead can be arranged at predetermined drop-off and pick-up times, or Care Pros can accompany aging adults on errands and provide assistance and care throughout.

Many aging adults face isolation and loneliness. This is especially true for those who’ve lost a spouse or who don’t have family close by.

These visits offer seniors a time to enjoy meaningful conversation while engaging in a game of cards, a puzzle, time outdoors, or other activities.

How Much Does Home Instead Charge for Home Care?
