Home Instead has been wonderful at caring for my mom. Maria in particular is knowledgeable, kind, and experienced. I really appreciate them being there for us so we can take care of everything else that comes with caring for an aging parent.

Home Instead has been helping our family for a couple of months now and we are so appreciative of their staff, Annie. She has been very patient and supportive as our family member gets accustomed to having a caregiver/companion. She recommends outings, offers food suggestions, offers general suggestions to help our family member manage the day to day. Her patient and kind nature is very comforting.

I have in home care for my Mom. She has the most wonderful care giver. Jamie, treats my Mom like family. We all just love her. She is so attentive to my Mom's needs and even anticipates them. I tell her all the time that we have adopted her. If you can't be with your loved one, someone like Jamie is what you hope for.

Provider Response

Hello Lorie, Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback! This is what it's all about, building connections, anticipating needs, and providing peace of mind. We are so grateful to have Jamie on our team and providing much needed care to our seniors. Thank you for trusting us! Symphony Krueger Owner Home Instead

Homecare for my husband Dan. He has mobility issues, muscle weakness, some short term memory issues,and other care concerns. Sarah has been Dan’s aide for several weeks now. She has helped him immensely with a range of care that clearly shows her experience, training, and adherence to Home Instead’s guidelines. We both think the world of her and sincerely hope she will continue to work with us for as long as we need her. Moreover, the agency has been very accessible and responsive to our every need. We are so very grateful to have chosen Home Instead to help us in our own home.

Provider Response

Thank you for your kind words, Ginger. We love hearing that you and Dan have created a beautiful bond with your Home Instead Care Pro and that our office team has been there to support you along the way. This is what it's all about! Providing great care for Dan! Have a great day!

I have care for my husband 5 mornings a week. They assist him as needed with meals and bathroom needs. They do some light house cleaning if I ask them.

I've been with this company for over 20 years. They have given me excellent, safe, comforting service after my stroke for many, many years. Anna, Karla, and Elena have been extremely caring and supportive through my progress. We will absolutely be continuing with this company and service probably for the rest of my life or for as long as my needs require. Thank you HomeInstead. You are appreciated. Pam

Home Instead is an excellent home care provider. They are flexible in meeting my needs to have my schedule adjusted to meet my needs. Caregivers are professional, dependable, caring, and easily adapt to my needs and my home Billing is accurate and timely. Office staff is exceptionally friendly, knowledgeable, and professional.

We have two caregivers that are each at our home two days a week. They have different styles and personalities but both are committed to making the best of each day with my wife. They are professional, engaging, and are both bright spots in our lives. They not only provide caregiving while here, but have helped me see ways in which I can be a primary caregiver when they are not here. Working with Home Instead has made a big difference. They are responsive to our needs, and check back in on a regular basis to see how things are going. They are a source of suggestions for strategies and activities to deal with the ever-changing life we are experiencing. The experience and insights of both the caregivers and Hone Instead help us deal with our life challenges.

Provider Response

Dave, thank you very much for taking the time to post a review. It means so much to me and our team to know we are supporting you as you care for your wife. Your journey is not an easy one and I love that our Care Pros are able to help you with some suggestions. Please let us know if there is anything more we can do to help. It is an honor.

I have nothing but the highest praise for the La Mesa Home Instead office on Jackson Drive. The entire office staff is highly professional and they went out of their way to ensure that my caregiver needs over the past year were met using exceptionally well-qualified caregivers. They were extremely flexible in modifying my schedule on a number of occasions in order to accommodate short term caregiver changes I had to make due to such things as appointments and overnight guests. But the best feature of all in dealing with this office is the quality of the caregivers themselves who are sent out to take care of my wife, an Alzheimer’s patient. They have all been highly professional and work with her on activities to help keep her as mentally and physically active as possible. For example, they’ll take her for walks, play simple games and work on a wide variety of craft projects. My wife considers them her friends and enjoys each of their visits. I have never hesitated to leave the house with a Home Instead caregiver here because I’m confident my wife is receiving the care and attention she needs.

Provider Response

Richard, Thank you for such a wonderful review. The Care Professionals care about you and your wife and have so much fun with her. It makes me happy that you feel the confidence to leave while we are there so that you can take a break and take care of yourself as well. My favorite story is when our Care Pro Deanna baked you a cake for your anniversary and you told her the cake was missing something. Deanna said you left the room and came back with your original wedding cake topper to place on the cake. The photos were wonderful to see. The love you both have is inspiring. Thank you for letting our team be a part of your lives.

My mother needed a companion and helper. She needed someone to help remind her to take her meds, eat and help her with her personal grooming needs. Our family wanted someone friendly and caring. Her caregiver does all that and takes her on walks to help her with her mobility. It is such a relief knowing we have someone we can count on to nurture our mom when we can’t be there.

Home Instead has had quality caregivers and they support their own staff. They go out of their way to make sure my mom is happy with the care she’s getting. A bonus my mom can be difficult and on occasion has liked the personality of a care giver and Home Instead was very professional in handling the situation, bottom line not all people are a great match so it can make it awkward but they handled it wonderfully and right now my mom has 3 different staff and looks forward to when there at her house it keeps her busy and gives her different people to talk too. I would recommend Home Instead to anyone that want quality care for a loved one. Deena Stevens

Provider Response

Thank you for the kind words of recommendation. We truly love what we do and making the right Care Pro match with our clients is so important. When it does not work, we do make the change so everyone is comfortable. It is an honor to help you care for your Mom.

The is an incredibly responsive agency. They do their utmost to make sure their caregivers are a good "fit" for our needs. My husband, who has advanced Parkinson's, requires full assistance in his activities of daily living. The staff always arrives on time. As I retired social worker I know how difficult it is to find good caregivers. I would highly recommend Home Instead to other families who are doing their utmost to keep their loved ones at home.

Provider Response

Thank you Catherine! We are very happy to help support you as you take the most amazing car of your husband yourself. You also are so easy to work with and communicate with as well. We really appreciate working with you and your husband too!

This is the 3rd caregiving company we have worked with over the past year and is definitely the best. Mom has caregivers 4 hours twice a day to help with personal care, physical therapy, making meals, and ambulation. They seem to be an organized office with dedicated staff that cover specific critical areas (e.g., HR, staffing, billing, etc). There is a significant focus on education and training of caregivers for caregiving activities as well as medical knowledge for commonly encountered diseases of the elderly. They work hard to match caregivers to the medical and physical needs of the client as well as personality fit. When a new caregiver is assigned, they always shadow another caregiver so there is at least some introductory crossover. There have been very few issues but when they happen, they are addressed very quickly and compassionately.

Provider Response

Thank you so much for this wonderful review. Our team is so proud that their hard work translates into happy clients and family members. Reading this just affirms why we love doing what we do. Thank for the honor of allowing us to help you care for your Mom.

I would hire them all the time but for me the cost is prohibitive. Its so much better than scrambling around trying to make sure the care situation is covered so I can work. I had a grant that covered 60 hours and I was really bummed when the hours were used up.

homeinstead has been a lifesaver for me. I c an count on them not only being here on scheduled days they are willing to cover days that I might need extra help. My dad's reg caregiver is great she is not only professional she is also great w/ my dad. Without their willingness to work w/ my work schedule I don't know how I could continue working. from the owner, office staff, caregivers I have received excellence service

He is reliable and almost always on time. If there is a delay in his arrival I always am notified in advance! I truly look forward to spending time with this friendly and caring individual and highly recommend him to anyone seeking a care giver.

I had a stroke about 17 years ago. It did enough damage to leave me semi-paralyzed. It affected my brain and left me with my left arm unable to move permanently. It was a scary time of my life and thoughts of how I was going to manage my life and try to live as 'normal' as possible seemed almost impossible. Fortunately, someone suggested Home Instead as an option to help me with what people take for granted everyday. They have given me a major part of my life back. My current care-giver is wonderful, professional, and completely understanding and attentive to my needs. Steve and Leslie (owners) have always been there and without them, I don't know what my life would look like-not the same for sure. I have been with them almost from the beginning of my disability. I am extremely indebted. Thank you Home Instead!

When my mother's needs exceeded the care that my wife and I could provide, I utilized Home Instead Senior Care - La Mesa to help us. What a blessing they were. They helped us in so many ways to make mom comfortable. The staff was completely reliable, friendly and skilled. I have since recommended them to help a friend with the care of his parents and he had the same experience. I highly recommend them.

We hired Home Instead Senior Care because they seemed like they're very interested, it was a small group -- like a mom and pop organization -- and the money aspect as well. They're very caring, and they seemed to love my father. It's not just some formal thing they do. They tend to spoil him. We've been using them for about a year now. Their work ethics are excellent, and I have no problem with scheduling and billing. We haven't had any trouble with them at all.
