Home Instead has been helping me care for an elderly family member "M". All of the care giver's have been great, ESPECIALLY Karen. We were in the hospital this week and Karen was great with questioning the doctors, understanding the situation, and keeping me posted through text and phone calls. Karen with Home Instead has gone above and beyond to make sure "M" was taken care of, had what she needed, and understood what was happening. Hats off to Karen! Thank you Home Instead & Karen, Shawntel Kerr

Home Instead provides in-home care for my 90 year old father. He cannot take care of himself without assistance, the agency makes sure he is up, clean and dressed and that his medications are taken in the morning and evening, They prepare his meals, keep the house clean and orderly, do his grocery shopping and bring him to his doctor appointments. They have provided a tablet that allows the family to make video calls with him and this is now the only device that he answers and uses. The staff is timely, communications are great and they are responsive to my requests. Been using for three years now and I highly recommend their services.

we really appreciate the high quality of service that mom receives while we are at work. We feel that moms well being is promoted with the daily interaction with caregivers, gives her a chance to visit with someone outside of the family. Home Instead is outstanding as a complete team, the office staff is always so helpful. Shae and Kathy are true angels, we feel fortunate that mom has them as her friends and caregivers. Home Instead is such an excellent choice over a retirement center, I have no doubt that we have made the best choices for moms care.

It's a bright moment when my caregiver arrives. Not only do I look forward to seeing her, my dogs sit by the front door waiting for her. She encourages me in my recovery from surgery and points out ways I am getting stronger. She's professional, shows initiative and is willing to do anything I need help with. I am happy I found Home Instead Senior Care.

I don't have family here and feel like my Home Instead caregiver is family, and the office, too. I don't remember as well as I used to and they keep track of my appointments and reminds me to take my medications. When Home Instead says they're going to do something they do it. I can trust them.

I have been with Home Instead Senior Care almost a year and it's made a difference in my life. My caregiver has become my friend. She provides companionship, light housekeeping and laundry assistance, making it easier for me to stay in my home. She takes me grocery shopping, to doctor appointments and takes me other places. I don't know what I would do without her!!

We started with Home Instead senior care to help my wife go through things and organize. Our caregiver is a hard worker and made big difference in our lives. She cooks as well so I have meals for several days. Life wouldn't be as easy if Tonya wasn't here.

Home Instead is good at matching caregivers with their clients. Our caregiver understands our needs and has helped us in a compassionate way. She has been quick to change and adapt, as our requirements have. When she arrives she is always in a good mood and happy; that means so much! We enjoy joking around and having fun while she's there. She's a breath of fresh air.

I hurt my lower back. Instead of getting better, I got worse. I live alone and my family urged me to get help. A friend was using Home Instead Senior Care. We called them. They helped me with house duties, meal prep, transportation and companionship. I wish I had contacted them a couple of weeks earlier! I am doing much better and getting around on my own. Thank you Home Instead!

We couldn't do life without Home Instead Senior Care. Being a caregiver for my wife takes a lot of work. Having our Home Instead caregiver several days a week allows me time to run errands and have time to myself.

Caring for my aging parents was going to be, and is, difficult. There is no way around it. But there are better choices to be made when we have to go through it. Home Instead has proven time and again that it was the right choice for my parents. HI is more customer/client oriented and so very well-managed, that it does make a difference in my workload. I have tried a couple of other home care companies. They presented more problems than solutions. We're very pleased with Home Instead!!

I was in rehab and wanted to go home because I would be more content recuperating in my own home. I knew I would need someone who could help me with light housekeeping, laundry, cooking, errands and taking me to doctor appointments. Since I wasn't fully recovered, my daughter had heard good things about Home Instead Senior Care from someone in Fort Worth and was pleased to discover there was once in the Waco area. I've been with Home Instead since March 2017 and couldn't be happier. I consider my caregiver to be a gift from God and she couldn't be any better; we are very compatible! I highly recommend Home Instead Senior Care to anyone who wants to stay in their own home and receive excellent care.

My mom has had caregivers in the past from other sources who weren't reliable and didn't provide good service. When mom found Home Instead Senior Care two and half years ago all that changed. She loves Home Instead; says her caregiver is like another daughter! Their service is great and they are dependable. People have told us they know caregivers who would be less expensive, but I told them we tried that in the past and learned you get what you pay for. Home Instead Senior Care provides good value and takes great care of my mom.

Dorothy, my caregiver, is really kind and friendly. She helps me with my home and pets. She takes me to grocery shopping, to doctor's appointments and the dog park so Pookie can run. I don't know what I will do without Dorothy.

We used another well-known agency in the past and now that we have been using Home Instead we will not use any other agency. One difference we found is that Home Instead caregivers care about how they look when they come to help us and are clean and well groomed. They are very kind and helpful and are like family to us.

My caregiver is so wonderful! She is good about communicating and she really cares. She really spoils me. She looks for things that need to be taken care of and just gets them done. If I am feeling a little depressed, she is great about cheering me up. She is very good-hearted and stands out like a star! She is really my stability. It has been a perfect match. My family says so too and we wouldn't change a thing.

We feel very fortunate to have Home Instead supplementing their care with what my mother is receiving at her independent living apartment complex. My mother says, "I really look forward to my caregiver's coming. She has my heart. She is more like my friend. I don't ever want to loose her and if I did, I wouldn't want to stay without her." Home Instead is keeping her happy and active, which are the most important to us.

Everyone from Home Instead has always been nice, accomodating, and helpful. I really enjoy my caregiver a lot and really look forward to her coming. Our caregiver is such a wonderful fit. I just couldn't live without her. My daughter also thinks that she does a great job. My daughter could not be more pleased. The communication has been wonderful too. My daughter said that she can go to work and not worry!

Using Home Instead has been a wonderful experience all the way around. All our caregivers have been professional but very personable. We all really have enjoyed listening to one of our caregivers and my dad always cutting up and bantering with each other. It was very special to both my Mom and dad when she was with them when he passed away recently. Another one of our caregivers we would adapt if we could. The office always keeps everything running so smoothly. Home Instead has allowed my parents to remain at home. Which we are all thankful for! We highly recommend them!

Our caregivers have all been so very encouraging, supportive, patient and all around good. We really appreciate their communication not only with their office, but also with each other which has been so very helpful for continuity of care! They have even been great about asking the therapists questions and learning how to best help with exercises the rest of the week. The office staff is easy to work with too. We would highly recommend Home instead to anyone.

We have been using Home Instead for 2 years now. We have been so pleasantly surprised to never have an issue all this time. All our caregivers have been so very good, even the few times we have had a fill in. They have all been so very congenial and willing to please. The office staff is great about communicating as well. It is and has been an amazingly positive experience. We would recommend them to anyone!

I believe Home Instead is a great organization. I have total trust and confidence in our caregiver and Home Instead. Love (caregiver) she is very well organized, reliable, responsible and proactive. I appreciate how she takes initiative and knows exactly with assertive kindness, how much she can encourage and push my wife to be as active as she can with her Parkinson’s, which can be different each day. She is truly wonderful and I would give her the highest marks. I would be happy to recommend Home Instead to everyone.

Home Instead is perfect! We love how the caregivers take charge when they need to and let my dad be as independent as he can be at others when appropriate. It is a wonderful balance. They are so sweet and accommodating. The communication between staff, caregivers, and family is so great it really makes us feel connected. We sleep so much easier at night now! We could not be happier with Home Instead Senior Care.

I wish we could clone our caregivers for others to have. We consider ourselves so blessed to have Home Instead and our caregiver in our and our Dad's lives. Our caregiver is resourceful, creative, patient, and really quite a wonderful woman. The office staff is also wonderful, kind, great about communication, and have also been a positive, happy influence in our Dad's life. He tells us he just loves his caregiver and doesn't know what he would do without her. Home Instead gets rave reviews all the way around from us!

We would recommend Home Instead to anyone and everyone! All the caregivers we have ever met have exhibited the utmost professionalism and empathy. Our regular caregiver is very responsible and tuned in to my mom. She picks up on everything, no matter how small. The transportation our caregiver provides is invaluable. Having the extra pair of eyes and ears waiting over my mom really gives us incredible peace of mind.

Even though I am not yet considered a senior, I have had some health situations arise to where I would not be able to stay at home without help. Home Instead has been a miracle and a life saver for me and my family. My caregiver is very hard working. She is always looking for things to do. She has become a great source of friendship for me. The most important thing is the companionship she offers as well as getting the tasks done. We couldn't be happier with Home Instead!

We definitely got the best possible match!

Home Instead is terrific! They allow me to keep my independence while simply offering assistance. I feel like I can bring up anything with my caregiver. She is very polite has a pleasant personality and is always looking for things to do. I appreciate her sense of humor and we tease each other a lot. I really look forward to her coming and can't say enough good things about her. Shes not only my "assistant" she is my friend. It is such a relief to know . I don't have to move.
