Senior Care in Forest Grove, OR

"We've got people from Home Instead Senior Care - West Portland & Lake Oswego coming in six days a week to help her. They clean her up and make her bed and maybe make a meal. They come for four hours a day to help her dress and activities of daily living. I've been pleased with all of the caregivers, they're very kind and attentive. They go out of their way and my mom likes them a lot. The service is so much better than the last agency we used. We've had them for a couple of months now and they've been on top of things. They deliver appropriately, so I've been happy with all of that."

"I like that they are always on time. One of my caregivers does not drive me. She is a little old and has a problem with her hip. She can get me out of bed, though, and we get along perfectly. I spend so much time in bed, so my body is pretty beat up after that and I have to get up. Integrity does a very good job and if anyone is looking for a company they would wise to check them out."

"We started my mom with Home Instead near the end of last year. Since getting Jessi as her caregiver my mom is thriving! Communication is great and my mom feels Jessi truly cares about her."

"My father was in an assisted living facility but needed more care that the facility could provide. Since I live in another state, I contacted HomeInstead to visit him 3x/week for three hours/day over the primary meal period to provide companionship, help with eating, and assisting in moving as needed. All aspects of my experience with HomeInstead was positive, from my initial contact through the wrap-up of their services. Office staff was professional--once they understood what i was looking for they arranged an on-site assessment of my dad's needs. The woman performing the assessment was empathetic, engaging, thorough and very competent. She was able to explain their services to my father and his wife, answering their questions and concerns. She provided more detail to me on billing and scheduling. It took about two weeks to find caregivers who could come on the desired schedule, one for two days/week and the other for one day/week (which we later extended to two days/week). Both caregivers bonded with my father; he was happy to see them. They kept good notes of each visit for me to review, and the case manager would call me at least monthly to review the situation with me. They also noted any issues with the care being provided by the facility and suggested equipment or other actions we could take to make my dad more comfortable. If a caregiver was unable to make their normal meeting, they always let me know 48 hours or more in advance and offered to find a substitute to insure coverage. When my Dad needed to move to a different facility for more care, we arranged to have them continue to come to provide continuity and insure there would be some familiar faces in a new situation. He became very friendly with both and it was a source of comfort for me to have two experienced, professional and empathetic people spend time with my dad. I have no hesitation recommending HomeInstead; all aspects of my interaction with them were positive. I only wished I had learned about them sooner so I could have involved them earlier in my dad's care."

"In home care for not just my father but my entire family. He was so knowledgeable and excellent at helping us understand what was happening and what to expect. He really became a member of the family. We trust him in ways we never expected. Wonderful man."

"Highly recommend the team at Home Instead. Many thanks to Lucena, Selina, Fran, and Sophia, my dad's caregivers for their assistance and companionship. Also, to Riley for managing the schedule at the drop of a hat. And, to Spencer for alerting me to any issues that the caregivers have noted on any particular day. So thankful to all of you and the service that you provide on a daily basis. Keep up the good work:)"
