My father is 92 and needed someone there for a few weeks to assist him in his daily routine. We both were very happy with Home Instead. Before services began, the supervisor came to the home to talk with us and assess our needs. My father does not like anyone coming into the home to help him, especially if he does not know them. Both he and I were happy and my father was put at ease. Every time we called for something, the representatives were friendly, warm, and attentive. The caregivers were attentive to my dad, provided great care, transportation, and some light housekeeping. Also, Home Instead was one of three referrals that I had. I called all three and HI was a few dollars cheaper per hour. Doesn't sound like much, but it adds up. Dad had services for a few weeks and then we decided that he is okay by himself. We both agree -- our experience with HI was a good one and I will recommend it to others just like it was recommended to me.
