Jenny S.
I am incredibly grateful for the support I received from Home Instead during a very vulnerable and difficult time in my life. From the very beginning, everyone I dealt with was so kind, thoughtful, compassionate, and genuinely caring. I had the opportunity to meet and spend time with several different care workers, and every single one of them brought something special to the experience. It was always a pleasure having them in my home, and over time, I was able to build genuine relationships with some of the people who cared for me. When you’re in a position where you need help with things you would normally do for yourself, having someone come into your home and treat you with dignity, patience, and kindness means more than I can put into words. The care and companionship I received made a difficult period a little easier, and I will forever be grateful for the people I met along the way. Thank you to everyone at Home Instead who supported me through my recovery. I truly appreciate everything you did for me and would recommend your services time and time again.

Home Instead Calgary exceeded my expectations. From the very beginning, the 45-minute discovery session set the tone for an organization that is intentional, organized, and committed to excellence. The team was thoughtful, supportive, and respectful throughout the training, creating an environment where Care Professionals feel valued and empowered. Home Instead is truly people-centered, demonstrating professionalism and a genuine commitment to both its clients and Care Professionals.

We had an outstanding experience with Home Instead in which they provided a Home Care Attendant to assist my 89 year old mother for a full day during my daughters wedding last week. Alexandria was very kind, professional and considerate in helping my mother get in and out of her wheelchair during change of clothes, bathroom activities, dinner reception and wheeling my mother around to wherever she wanted to go. Thank you again Alexandria!

I really felt a lot of peace of mind with this company. I was so impressed with Elizabeth who thought outside the box. She dusted my fathers paintings and organized his closets. She took an interest in baseball his favourite thing to watch. She said she learned from him. That’s the kind of people you want around your family. Thank you.for your kindness toward my father.

Here's when home care might be the right step:
- You're juggling caregiving with work, family, and your own well-being
