The team that my family encountered at Home Instead was compassionate, empathetic, and kept my father's dignity as the top priority. I appreciate the service being available to families as an alternative and keeping loved ones in familiar surroundings. It is so important as memory and cognition fades.

The office people are responsive to my needs for my mother’s care, even after office hours. They know my name and keep apprised if my morher’s health. The side who works with my mother is intelligent, lively, and compassionate. I couldn’t ask for a better experience.

The caregivers have been very patient with my mother in law who does not see the need for help. It is very comforting to have an extra pair of hands to handle the everyday necessities and the extra pair of eyes to let us know of any issues as we live over two hours away and making sure mom is ok daily was stressful relying on her self evaluation.

Our caregiver (Irene) is wonderful with our father. She keeps him engaged doing various activities. She watches him going up steps, curbs, etc. to avoid falls. He looks forward to her visits. She is very patient with him as he is often confused, can't hear, may repeat himself, or his words are mixed up if he is tired. She helps him figure out what he is trying to say. We appreciate her traveling extra distance to be here.

Melanie Riley has been a great help and gets along with Tom. We prefer her if extra night help is needed.
