All of the caregivers were good. Pamela, the client care coordinator, was very helpful. She came to the hospital to give the contract and finalize our plan.

Patty was a delight to work with. Always on time, no requests too much and most of the time she did everything before I could even ask.

Home Instead found us a care provider in an emergency, on a weekend, when other providers would not even try. When we needed ongoing care, we chose them. Our Client Care Coordinator, Pamela, was very thorough and attentive. Our caregiver, Rachel, was very sweet, dependable, attentive, and provided thorough notes about my aunt and uncle's activities and condition during her visits. She is very sweet. When we need care in the future I will call Pamela.

Home Instead Senior Care provided reliable, safe care for my mom. There people were dependable and competent. My mom was in our home safe and happy and I could go to work with peace of mind. In addition to her broken hip my mom has dementia but they were able to deal with the physical and mental aspects of her care and encouraged and support the rest of the family. The office staff was professional and always available to answer questions or concerns. I have recommended and will continue to recommend them to anyone who needs in home care.

Lynn and staff provided the utmost professional care for my father, who was battling cancer. He required 24-hour care, so he spent all day with the aides. Highly recommend Home Instead.

She is one of the best we ever had. The house looks great as she gets the job done the right way. Also she goes out of her way to make sure things are done. She does not hurry so she can't just sit like the others.

We have been using Home Instead for my mother for about 4 years. They started with her in the toughest of times when she could not care for her self needs at all to now when she needs basically supervision and companionship. They are always very professional and do their best to work with us so that we have consistancy of caregivers. I work in the home health field in Oakmont and Verona and have the opportunity to see these employees in other peoples homes as well and they are always very professional and reliable. I recommend them often

Home instead provided care to my father for around 1.5 yrs. He had severe strokes and many hospital/rehab stays. All of the caregivers were wonderful and reliable. The staff who read Oakmont Home Instead were absolutely genuine. They were always able to help me last minute. I never hesitate to recommend this agency.

Home Instead has been, literally, a life-saver for my father, and a sanity-saver for me. My father has a type of dementia (not Alzheimer’s) that is difficult to diagnose and has no therapy, medication or even awareness of its existence among many medical and psychiatric professionals. Our Home Instead caregiver has gone out of her way many times to help us protect Dad from himself and his dementia, setting up routines, taking him to doctor visits and grocery shopping, and running many other errands with him. She has been my safety net and voice of reason during many times when I felt overwhelmed with the enormous burden of dealing from a distance with all of the details surrounding my father’s care needs and condition. Our caregiver is providing better care than I ever could, keeping Dad among his remaining friends, and maintaining his quality of life as best as it can be with his condition. I have recommended Home Instead to many other friends and family in my “sandwich” generation who are trying to care for (local or long distance) an elderly relative who for whatever reason needs to be at “home instead” of in assisted living or a nursing home.

I live out of state and hired Home Instead to provide personal care for my 90 year old mother, 3hours/day, 7days/week. The primary care giver, Mary, treated my mother as if she were family. Her actions were far above "the job". We were blessed to have had her.The substitute caregivers were professional and compassionate. The office always kept me informed of changes in scheduling and responded to my concerns in a timely manor. I would highly recommend this Senior Care provider. They gave me peace of mind knowing that my mother was always in good hands.

Responsive, flexible, reliable, professional. Caregivers were excellent; Mom became good friends with one of them. They went above and beyond for us. We had an issue with the first caregiver, and it was dealt with immediately. The office stayed in touch frequently. I recommend them highly.
