Home Care Reviews for Home Instead - New Braunfels, TX

At the end of March, Home Instead will have cared for my 89-year-old father for one year. I greatly appreciate the excellent level of care the Home Instead team provides; the skill and kindness the caregivers show, and the flexibility and readiness of the staff in scheduling. The caregivers provide not just daily needed assistance with medication and blood pressure reminders, dressing, feeding and bathing, but also the interaction, conversation, and activities that my Dad is hungry for. This includes driving him to his physical therapy appointments and short errands. Dad and I are happy with his growing abilities due to the excellent care he has received! Likewise, my independence has grown knowing that Dad is well cared for. You will be confident in knowing your loved one is receiving the best care when you can't be there.

Home Instead has been a lifesaver for our family the last two months. The caregivers are professional, friendly, and go above and beyond to be helpful. Their kindness is like none we have ever encountered with other service providers. The office staff is always available to answer questions and scheduling is easy. The online family tool lets us see our schedule and review caregiver notes. The cost is extremely reasonable for the excellent service provided.

We had the opportunity to work with Home Instead in my grandmothers' final days. The owners answered all our questions and made the signup process seamless. Having Alzheimers and being bedridden, she was extremely fragile. The caregiver Home Instead sent was a godsend. She was knowledgeable and skilled at meeting my grandmothers' daily care needs. She showed kindness and patience to both my grandparents who've been together for the past 70 years. Having her in our home was a blessing. Thank you Home Instead for providing quality care so that my grandparents could remain together in their home.

This agency provides excellent in-home care for your loved one! My mother had a serious fall and is now in a wheelchair. Home Instead has provided the necessary caretakers to help her stay in her home. They have been incredibly flexible with schedule changes and needs and truly want to help the client in any way possible. Their staff is professional, caring and responsive to their client's needs. The caretakers' help my mother with meals, transportation and physical therapy appointments. This has certain challenges when the client is in a wheelchair. I would recommend them to anyone!

We've been very pleased with the service. We're using Home Instead for more like companionship. We're not using any of the other, like housekeeping, cooking, because we don't need it. This is so that mostly if I have to leave and he's by himself that there's someone here in case he needs assistance. So in that regard, there's no problem whatsoever. It's been over a year now. We thoroughly enjoy, especially the lady that helps us right now. We have not had a bad experience with them.

We contacted Home Instead a little too late... thinking we wanted to wait until we absolutely needed care - that was our regret. We should have used their services sooner as they were a blessing to our entire family.

I am the daughter-in-law of a wonderful woman who has stage 6'ish Alzheimer's. We wanted to have her and my father-in-law move into assisted living near us, but then Covid hit. We needed help for my father-in-law fast since he was becoming exhausted caring for her by himself. I did some research and found Home Instead. OMG!!! They have helped her on so many levels - nutritionally, hygienically, socially, and emotionally. BUT they have provided him with the care she needs so that he can have a day off here and there, saving both of them. We are SO very glad that we found them! The caregivers are wonderful and have treated my mother-in-law with nothing less that complete dignity, respect, and love. It is a vocation to be sure, and we are so thankful for them all.

We contacted Home Instead to see about providing companionship and transportation to help our increasingly isolated mother, who can no longer drive and is drifting from mild to moderate Alzheimer's. We were immediately impressed with the caring professionalism demonstrated by Home Instead. An employee comes 3 days a week for 4 hours a day and takes our mom to walk in the park, to the grocery store, to get a shake at Sonic, and stuff like that. The employee, Carolyn, is extremely kind, attentive, and caring. We couldn't be happier. Our mother's quality of life has improved significantly since Carolyn has been coming, and we are very appreciative of this service. We weren't sure what to expect when we began, but we can safely say that we are thoroughly impressed with Home Instead and we recommend them highly.

The home helper selected for our family is a very sweet woman. She provides compassionate care (most important to us) and is open to various small housekeeping tasks (least important to us). My only criticism of the company policy is that we cannot directly communicate with her, only either through the company or through the messages in our home log. I would definitely recommend this group to a friend!

I am very happy with the services being provided and the level of care given for my mother-in-law. They are providing toileting assistance, meal assistance, light cleaning, reading, conversation, and company. They keep notes throughout the day to assist me in knowing what has occurred during the day. I have not had a problem with coverage during the times I need a caregiver there, and they have been very friendly, on time, and responsive to her needs. I have no complaints at the present time..

Home Instead, New Braunfels, provided 24 hour care for my mom for 3 months in her home, as she had cancer and dementia. The Home Instead managers listened to my concerns and was able to meet my mom's physical, social and emotional needs during this time. Even with challenges on the weekends, as staff changed, Home Instead was able to provide consistent staff who came every weekend. I was able to contact them and receive prompt replies with any questions I had. I appreciate their staff and their integrity, as my mom would not have been able to stay in the home she loved without their care. I would recommend Home Instead, New Braunfels to anyone who desires consistent care for their loved one.

Home Instead was the one my parents picked, and they’re very comfortable. Right now, they’re not doing a whole lot. They’re only doing the cleaning, but my parents like the idea that they can add more things if they need it. I haven’t heard anything negative said about them. My daughter and I were doing the cleaning for them for quite a few years before they decided that they didn’t want us having to come out there all of the time. Plus, there’s too much cleaning because it’s three floors. I did a search for home help companies, and they’re charging the same thing that we charged, so it’s working out for them really well. I would recommend them, and I’ve heard good things about them from other people, too.

I had the time to help a friend find someone to help his Mother. She did not qualified for assisted living as she had mobility issues, but didn't want to leave her home. Home Instead Senior Care of New Braunfels was the answer he was looking for. They provide the transportation she needs to places she wants to go and help around the house. Her main need there is with meal preparation so she doesn't have to stand to cook. Home Instead provids the care and support needed to keep her life at home to a norm, yet allow her the flexibility to still participate in things she enjoys. Thank you Home Instead! You've been a lifesaver for all of us.
