    Christina is a wonderful caregiver who goes to my mother's home three times per week. She plays games with my mother, engages her in conversation, reads the newspaper with her and also assists her with many needs. I am so impressed with Christina's professionalism, but mostly with her care, compassion, love. My mother absolutely loves her and as she puts it, "Christina is a nicer than nice person!'

    Provider Response

    Thanks so much for the wonderful feedback! Our Care Pros are the best! We pride ourselves on providing families with peace of mind and it warms our hearts to hear such kind words. Have a great day!

    We have been very pleased with the care Mom has received from Home Instead the past five years, which has allowed her to stay in her home. Leslie and Marcela have been very accommodating with our schedule needs. Terri always goes above and beyond, and Ruby has stepped up, taking on extra shifts as needed. We appreciate all of them.

    We have been using Home Instead. My dad has dementia and they help him with his everyday living, like bathing, food, laundry, and cleaning. They're pretty well educated on this. They are like specialists for dementia patients, so they know how to take care of them, respond to them, and get them to do things. They're doing the best they can, and dementia patients sometimes can be very difficult. They work with whatever I need, which is really good. Whatever hours I need, they're flexible on that. Their billing is normal. It's a typical dollar amount that they all charge. The main person in charge was a very nice person. I would recommend them.

    Home care provided to my mom has been a great experience both by the caregivers and the office/management team. Requests are met with a positive "can do" attitude. Home Instead has proven to both flexible (i.e. care hours, grocery handling) and reliable (i.e. on-time, appointment companionship) to meet her needs. Communications and coordination of care activities is made easy which is a comfort as I live in another state.

    The caregivers were very loving. They not only provided the necessary care and support but also supplied companionship. I was especially thankful for everyone's flexibility in adjusting changes in care needs and schedules.

    The vast majority of caregivers with Home Instead have been outstanding by being attentive and interactive with my brother (has both Down syndrome and Alzheimer's). We have a unique circumstance with IHSS hours and regional center hours, and they have been extremely accommodating.

    They worked with us to have the same caregiver come each day (twice a week) to provide some continuity for my parents. The caregiver was very compassionate and understanding towards my mom who has Alzheimer's.

    Home Instead staff are very responsive to my mothers' need. I can easily change the scheduled visits based on her health and events. Each of the care givers treat her with respect, care, and have become her friends.

    My husband and I shopped around for a few different caregiving agencies before we found Home Instead Senior Care to find a caregiver for his mother. We found the website for Home instead Senior Care and after looking around their website for a while we decided to contact them. I was really impressed by the professionalism and the way they got back to us on the same day we sent an email contact them. Leslie acted as if she knew us for many years. We were so impressed by her knowledge and professionalism. You can beat their prices but you can't beat there professionalism but the bottom line is the care that we got for mother is the best we think we could ever find. I would highly recommend Home Instead Senior Care to my friends and family to find caregivers. Laurie came out to meet both of us and we signed up that very day. Using an agency made it all so easy for Mother and we wouldn't have it any other way Thank you Susan P.aho

    I needed to find a care provider quickly and fortunately found Home Instead in Whittier. They are knowledgeable and well run. While it was not possible to have a single caregiver, there were a couple that my elderly mom really liked. They were also responsive to our concerns about nutrition, and when emergencies happened they were able to handle it. Thanks for making this difficult time much easier for all.

    Home Instead has been helping my mom or a couple of years now. I like the way the office runs so smooth. Leslie does a great job with my parents needs. She goes out of her way to accomadiate the needs. Our Caregiver Veronica is great with mom, Dad gets along very well with both the Caregivers. He like the fact that he can go to sleep and not worry that mom will do something crazy. Thank you Home Instead for giving us our peace of mind. We know that our parents are in good hands.

    Home Instead has been a lifesaver for us this year. My mom fell and broke her hip in January and life changed for all of us at that point. My husband and I do what we can (65 miles away) to take care of my parents but Home Instead is always there when we need them and we sure need them. Leslie is always friendly and finds someone to watch both my mom and 90 year old dad. She is good about placing a caregiver with my parents who have already been there to help out and know them. Home Instead is definitely a blessing for our family, always dependable!

    I interviewed this provider

    Home Instead Senior Care-- Caregivers cared for my mom for a little over 2 years. Although my family had our ups and downs, Home Instead was always consistent. We had great Caregivers, we used home instead 16 hours a day at times, we always had consistency when we called the office, we were always greeted with respect and they would have a caregiver at all times. My mom was never a happy person she would give grief to every caregiver and they would smile and go on with what needed to be done. She would throw things at them and still they never got upset with her. I’m writing this because I was asked by a friend who is looking for services for her mom and thought that I should tell my story. Laurie, Lessley, Barbara, Denise thank you for your help. I was never easy to work with and for that I am truly sorry. Thank you for all you did for our mom

    After my mother's stroke, my family was daunted by the process of making arrangements for her care. Fortunately we were referred to Home instead Senior Care. it was the dedicated to finding excellent caregivers for us. Laurie met with my family at our home to discuss the type of care my sister and I wanted for our mom. She listened to our needs and found caregivers suited to our situation. My mother's caregivers, Jeannine, and Deanne, Leslie are experienced, compassionate and committed. Under their care, Mom has improved in significant ways. In particular, Leslie has given us caregivers who are devoted not only to seeing that she is well cared for, but also helping her to recover. I want to recommend We're been so pleased with working with Leslie, Laurie, and the CAREGivers Jannine, Deanne

    Our Mom passed last September and I have not had the time to write here. But I would like to express my deep gratitude for what we received from Home Instead, especially from a wonderful Angel name Barbara. Her heart is beyond what you could hope for. Her compassion and open mind helped us immensely to go through that difficult journey. It would not have been the same without her. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your great spirit, compassion and genuine generosity! Leslie, you do an outstanding job listening. even when we are complaining about our life and pains our mom is going through. You seem to really care what needs to be done with your clients. You really care about your clients and it shows. Again thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the care you gave to our mom!!!

    Home Instead is a fantastic loving and caring business with a personal touch. I highly recommend Home Instead Senior Care to anyone looking for what I consider to have that family touch to care for their loved one. Laurie, Leslie you rock!!!!! You always made mom feel good about herself even though she was dying of cancer. They came thru the Caregiver that they sent was Awesome always ready to lend a helping hand or two.... When my mom needed more care it was them that talked to me and gave some advice on what to do with her when entering hospice, and what questions to ask. I am so pleased with the way that they help me and mom. Thank you Home Instead Senior Care!

    This is a franchise operation and if the personnel I have been in contact with are any indication of the standards of care for all of their franchises I couldn't be more pleased. Everyone is completely professional and more importantly kind and caring toward my father who has Alzheimer's. Remember you are the employer and anyone you hire should have no problem with ANY questions you may ask. I could not recommend Home Instead enough to anyone who has in-home care needs!!!

    How Much Does Home Instead Charge for Home Care?

    When planning for home care costs, keep in mind that the national average cost is about $26 per hour, though prices in your location may be higher or lower. You can contact a Family Advisor to learn more about home care costs and payment options in your area.
