They made the patient very comfortable and were of help to me. When necessary, substitute care givers were provided. The periodic visits of the Nurses were also helpful. Home Instead went above and beyond my expectations when it came to caring for my terminally Ill father.
Working with Honor, serving Home Instead families
My mom needs physical help to walk and very close complete care in order to shower. Our caregiver has always made my mom feel comfortable and safe. Life at home truly is possible for both my parents, thanks to Home Instead.
Home Instead was very responsive to any concerns I had, including always having someone available to answer the phone 24/7, and having a nurse who could make a quick visit if needed. I would highly recommend Home Instead to anyone looking for caregivers for their loved ones. After my Mother's knee replacement surgery we needed assistance with most of her ADLs. Working from home it was going to be difficult to manage her care. Home Instead provided homemaker services for my Mom and they worked diligently to ensure we had the right caregiver for our needs.

Professional growth and training
We have had an extremely positive experience with Home Instead. The lines of communication were open and Chelli was very flexible with our changing needs. After a fall, my mom needed to go from part time care to around the clock care immediately. Chelli worked tirelessly to get the shifts covered. Mom's regular caregiver Amie was phenomenal and stepped up her hours when we needed her.
My mom said again and again how gentle and reassuring she was with her. That positive attitude contributed immeasurably to my mom's recovery. The caregiver had to coordinate many interim medications from the hospital, and visiting services from the hospital. She had to be supportive to my dad, who was very worn down from my mom's illness and hospitalization.

The staff that worked with my dad was kind and followed the detailed list I gave them. Home Instead has been wonderful through my now 91-year old father's tenure with them. The relationship began in 2016 with 4-8 hours a day after Dad got out of rehab following a UTI infection. In 2020, that care quickly shifted to 24x7 after a UTI-triggered hospitalization that had Dad coming home bedridden and with a diminished self-care capacity. Home Instead “stepped up” beautifully and allowed everyone to breathe easier. The change in care is simply a shift based on Dad’s changed needs and the family’s goals.
All of the caregivers provided for my mom have been caring and competent. There is a tremendous sense of relief knowing she has someone with her on weekdays when we daughters have to work. Home Instead was receptive to my Father's needs and my own. The first contact I had with them by phone was very positive and helpful. They are patient with the family members, explaining everything that they do, and a staff member always brings a new caregiver to the home to introduce.

Office staff are always available to help with any issues and one-off requests. Finding a good in-home care service had been a challenge before I found Home Instead. The caregivers are dependable, well-trained, and caring. Gina Sheffer joined Home Instead Senior Care in 2004, and has been an important member of our team throughout the years. She has worked, and is knowledgeable in all areas of the business including Recruitment, Client Services, and Operations Management.
Over the years, we have had different needs and Home Instead was always there to help us sort that out. All the caregivers have been kind, caring, trustworthy, and very professional. Since I live some distance from my mom, it has been hugely reassuring to know that I can count on Home Instead. Having a caregiver who not only attends to my mom’s needs at home but also helps her schedule appointments and accompanies her to the appointments is a special plus. My primary contact there has been my extra set of eyes and ears when it comes to my mom’s care. It has been invaluable to have someone to trust and, in fact, a whole team to trust as my mom has needed assistance.
