Our experience with Home Instead Senior Care has been good. We're using them for about a month now. I use one regularly at night, and she takes my husband to the bathroom because he can't walk. The ones in the day basically do the same thing. Bathroom duty is the main thing, and every now and then they'll do lunch. The caregivers have been good, friendly, and professional. Scheduling is good. They usually call me with who's coming, and they've never not filled a slot when I've asked them to. I would recommend them.

Annie D., the primary caregiver that Winchester Home Instead selected for Mom is fabulous...and a perfect match! Not only is Mom safer with the added layer of guidance and supervision, she is also happier. She looks forward to visits from "her Annie" and genuinely enjoys Annie's companionship. I could not be more pleased with the services from Home Instead. From my first call to Home Instead, I felt very confident about the help that Mom would be receiving. Every staffer at every level of the Winchester office has been a delight to coordinate Mom's care with, and the peace of mind provided is priceless. I am a very experienced Registered Nurse so I have rather high standards for patient care. Home Instead came highly recommended to me from my many peers in the Winchester medical community, and has consistently exceeded my expectations. I am very appreciative of their support, and hope to be able to keep Mom in the comfort of her own home - as she so dearly wishes - for the rest of her life.
