Thanks to Sarah, the Team and wonderful Caregiver for your incredible service and compassion!
Ps I.
We were incredibly fortunate to have such wonderful personal care workers supporting our father. During a time of crisis for our family, they were a steady, compassionate presence who helped take some of the pressure off our shoulders. They communicated openly and clearly every step of the way, which gave us peace of mind. They company took the time to get the right PSW fit in. The PSW's took the time to understand what worked best for our dad, keeping him active, engaged and involved in ways that suited him. Their care was thoughtful and tailored, and it made a real difference in his comfort and well-being. On top of that, they were just genuinely lovely people to have around. We were so grateful for the support they gave our father and our whole family. Highly recommend.

Outstanding Care from Home Instead--A Truly Compassionate and Professional Team ------- We are incredibly grateful for the exceptional care that Home Instead has been providing for our father ,Zafar Sheikh in Mississauga, On. As someone living with dementia,our father's needs are both complex and sensitive ---and Home Instead has consistently exceeded our expectations in every aspect of care. A special mention goes to Jennifer Piluke,whose dedication ,empathy, and professionalism are truly commendable. Jennifer is not only kind and helpful but also has one of the best support teams we've encountered. She carefully matches PSW'S based on each clients physical and mental needs,ensuring the most suitable caregiver is assigned every time. Every PSW assigned to my father has been knowledgeable, patient ,respectful, and kind---which is especially important when dealing with a dementia patient.They are always punctual, handle every situation calmly, and prioritize both safety and privacy with utmost professionalism. I would also like to highlight Ugwvoke Osita, He is an exceptionally courteous and professional caregiver.Osita is attentive energetic,and genuinely compassionate in the way he provides care -both during morning and evening shifts. I'm really impressed with how he handled any difficult situation during dealing with our father suffering dementia,which is really not an easy task to deal with.i must say Osita really is a valuable asset to the team, by Home Instead.His professional skills are incredible.My father loves the way he treats him with respect and kindness.He really is awesome!! Bhayani Bhavya, one of the weekend PSW's, has created a meaningful connection that greatly improves my father's comfort and engagement .since he shares the same language background as my father.He is doing such an amazing job with his professional attitude and kind help that my father is showing improvement in his behavior and day to day routine at home.His quality of work is outstanding.He is too polite even when my father gets restless & irritated because of dementia. Home Instead has truly made a positive difference in our lives,and I highly recommend their services to anyone seeking trustworthy, compassionate and professional care for their loved ones. Many Many Thanks, Saira Zafar d/o Zafar Sheikh

Most of the caregivers from Home Instead are of high quality. They helped my Dad in post hospitalization recovery process. For the most part they are punctual no matter what the weather is and the company made sure there were replacements when needed. We had nothing but great experience for 4 months. We consider most of the caregivers from Home Instead as part of our family - particularly Tenzin, Shefaa, Liz who were with us from the start. Shout out to Harpreet, Manpreet, Tanveer who are all great too, but joined later.

Still unsure? A care consultation is a great place to start. We'll listen, answer your questions, and help you explore your options—with no pressure or obligation.
Here's when home care might be the right step:
- You're juggling caregiving with work, family, and your own well-being
- Your loved one's needs are growing beyond what you can manage alone
- You're noticing signs of burnout, frustration, or fatigue
- You want a consistent, trusted partner to rely on
Home Instead Care Pros provide support that fits your routine—not the other way around. Whether it's meal prep, a walk, or help getting to appointments, our care is designed to enhance—not replace—your role.
You don't have to wait for a crisis. Most families who start care with us say they wish they had done it sooner.
There's no one-size-fits-all answer—but if your loved one wants to stay in their own home, in-home care can be the most personal, flexible, and reassuring option.
In-home care vs. assisted living
Assisted living can be great for those who want a communal setting and are ready to relocate. But if your loved one wants to stay at home, in-home care offers:
- One-on-one attention in familiar surroundings
- A flexible schedule that fits your lifestyle
- Support with meals, mobility, personal care, and companionship
- Help from Care Pros who get to know your loved one—building trust and routine
In-home care vs. hiring a private caregiver
Hiring an independent caregiver can seem less expensive—but it comes with risk. As the employer, you'd be responsible for payroll, insurance, and coverage when they can't show up.
With Home Instead, we handle everything:
- Professional hiring, training, and supervision
- Background checks, insurance, and 24/7 backup support
- Personalized matches and no long-term contracts
In-home care is all about helping your loved one stay independent, comfortable, and safe—right in the place they know and love. From simple companionship to specialized dementia support, our Care Pros are here to help make life easier.

It's care on your terms. Ready to get started?

- They're trained and trustworthy. Each Care Pro goes through a thorough background check, reference checks, and extensive training—including how to support Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and chronic health conditions.
