Shelley S.
Home Instead was very accommodating to our needs and my Mom’s first experience with in-home support. We contacted them to have help for home care, cooking, cleaning, laundry, shopping, driving and other incidentals. Staff and administration were very reliable. Staff were professional, friendly and responsive to questions or changes that we required. Home Instead was a good solution for us and very responsive to our changing needs. Thanks for everything you did to help us manage our transition.

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.

This Calgary team is built around experienced people — including owner and Director of Care Debbie Franchuk, a registered nurse with decades inside Alberta Health Services. She guides a client-focused approach while more than 25 support staff back Care Pros in the field.

About 415 Care Pros and roughly 25–30 key support players serve Calgary and surrounding communities. That scale helps the office match personalities, cover same-day starts and maintain a protective sick policy so Care Pros do not work while symptomatic.
The office hires selectively — fewer than 2% of applicants — and introduces every new client/Care Pro relationship in person so the first visit is not a cold handoff.
Yes. Nurse Directed Services are trained on site with the nursing team, and specialized home care builds on day-one and day-two training (16+ hours) plus introductions or buddy shifts. Overnight and 24-hour care, dementia support and personal care are common local needs.
The team also serves rural farms and acreages around Calgary that many agencies cannot reach, often responding the same day to assess and set up care.
The office is an approved vendor for Alberta Health Services' Client Directed Home Care Invoicing program (CDHCI), facilitated by Blue Cross. Eligible clients can direct funding to a vendor of their choice so they can stay home instead of moving prematurely.
Beyond Calgary, the team regularly supports surrounding communities such as Strathmore, Okotoks, High River and Airdrie. Having Care Pros who live across those areas makes same-day starts and rural coverage more realistic.
The franchise supports organizations including ACCA, the Parkinson's Society, Agape Hospice, the Alzheimer's Society, the ALS Society and Meals on Wheels. A local TV campaign featuring reporter Gord Gillies also helps families recognize the brand across the region.
