Home Instead Senior Care

What you should know about these agencies: it’s really a mixed bag. Essentially, these operate like temp agencies for home health workers who often sign up for more than one agency to make sure they get enough work. And they may be working more than one job every day. Out of the money you pay, the worker may be getting between 33% to perhaps 50% of what the agency is charging you. Most of these agencies are for profit, individually owned franchises.
You will find a truly mixed bag of workers. Some may be great. Some will not. My advice is not to keep on anyone if they don’t meet your standards. Through this particular agency I found one really fantastic, trustworthy person. Of the others, one was good, and three were marginal. Make sure the worker and the agency fully understand and meet your needs.

Home Instead Senior Care is a wonderful agency and is highly recommended by me. The agency is attentive and provides excellent care.

My mother needed assistance of a caregiver when she began dialysis a year ago. Although it took some time for my independent mother to accept the fact she needed assistance, and have a stranger in her home; a perfect match was made. In time my mother and her caregvier became companions then friends. The care given was suberb and given with compassion.
I am highly recommending Home Instead Senior Care to my friends and family.

Several years ago my family was in crisis when mom came home from an unexpected trip to the hospital and needed immediate full-​time care. We called Home Instead very late that evening, and by next morning there were several caregivers at mom’s. They saw her through some very dark days, treated her like a queen, cooking, cleaning, making sure she got her meds. One of those women ended up being mom’s main caregiver for over three years.
Home Instead took the worry away from us at a time when we had no idea what to do. Over the years they have worked with us in emergencies, supplied part-​time caregivers when necessary, and have been there when we could not. The office staff is also genuinely caring and supportive, and goes the extra mile for you.
Our experience with Home Instead has been great, and we highly recommend them. Linda H.
