5-star review - By Jim W.
The wonderful caregivers at Home Instead cared for my mom, who lives 900 miles away, for nearly a decade. Mom's health and ability changed over time, and Home Instead kept me informed of her status every step of the way. They were always thoughtful in respecting her wishes, suggesting constructive ways they could assist her while maintaining her dignity and safety. Mom would have not been able to stay in her home for as long as she did, without each of these caring, compassionate, and observant individuals. We are truly grateful for our experience with Home Instead and the peace of mind they gave to our family over the years.

We experienced some great care while using the Home Instead services. Krista McGee is top of the line in her caring approach with Mom. She asked good questions in her effort to understand Mom's habits & routines. Her care notes were well written so we all knew the type of shift Mom & Krista had together.

I highly recommend Jacksonville Home Instead! The entire staff was caring and courteous during the final week of my father's life. The evening shift allowed my mom to get a good night's rest knowing someone was awake with dad if needed. The caregivers were prompt and timely. In fact, i called to ask for help for the first time Thursday morning and a caregiver was at my parents' home that very evening! Excellent!

The communication is very open in giving detailed information about happenings during Caregiver visits. This is a plus+. Staff members are very accessible and most responsive which is a great comfort level to the relatives who live in other states. I highly support Home Instead services.

The scheduling team works to accommodate my requests and are always pleasant to talk to. We were able to get through the pandemic and keep my mom safe. I have a consistent caretaker in Crystal and I really appreciate her and how she handles my mom. I feel very comfortable in leaving her in my home. I also appreciate Candy and her kind approach as a liaison for your company. The other care givers have been very good as well. Thank you for your service and hope to continue working with the company to provide my mom the best care!!

We entered into a contract in June 2020 with Home Instead to provide assistance as needed for a relative. Home Instead has provided this care in a very professional manner. The assigned caregivers are most reliable and cooperative. They give the person their full attention. The Management Staff has been very helpful and is always available to address any concerns. I highly rate this establishment with a 5-star rating and commend their efforts with a traditional "WELL DONE'".

Home Instead, Litchfield branch, exceeded all expectations from initial inquiry to performance.

The staff who performed the service in our home were personable, courteous, always on time and met our needs every visit. I strongly recommend Home Instead.

Home Instead is very good and taking care of my mother. I do not live close but I feel that they are always looking out for her best interest. They are always calling me to let me know if things are not going well. Keeping me informed of how she is doing. I feel that I can always call them if there is something I need them to do or take her to a doctors appointment.

Home Instead gave me much needed support at a highly stressful time. My mom was being released from the hospital and needed more care that I could give her. Candi (care coordinator) was a lifesaver to me. She was kind, supportive, and explained everything patiently. She met me at the office at 7:00 on a subzero evening and treated me like she had all the time in the world for me. A delightful caregiver came 2 hours after I brought my mom home the next day.

After spinal surgery, I needed help at my home for one month. Home Instead provided me with 2 wonderful caregivers who were kind, supportive, understanding, and compassionate. Having no family close by, Home Instead was able to come to my aid very quickly. I am so grateful for the professional care they were able to give me. I don't know what I would have done without them.

My grandmothers team, which consists of Danielle, Faith and Emily, have been nothing short of amazing. They have become apart of our family and have shown such empathy and love for my grandmother as if she was their own. Tiffany the Team Leader, is always keeping me in the loop and checking in on everything, almost daily. I am so lucky that I found Home Instead to care for my grandmother during the day while I am in school. I can never thank them enough for all of their kindness and I truly appreciate each and every one of them!

We found Tiffany to be an excellent primary contact and leader - she was/is both highly caring and very responsive. The caregiver team’s leader for our father was also excellent, Shane did a super job overseeing Dad’s care, coordinating shopping, and was super responsive as well. We had a good experience with Home Instead of Jacksonville.

My sister's & I used Home Instead in November after our mother had major surgery. We were very pleased with the care she received & relieved that we didn't have to find help, worry about scheduling help & didn't have to do background checks. Everyone was polite, patient & caring. Hopefully we won't need the service again but will certainly contact them if the need arises.

Excellent! My parents are cared for by a group of 6 caregivers, each of whom brings something different to the table. As a result, Mom and Dad can stay in their own home. I was very skeptical at first, but Home Instead has been excellent and I would recommend them to anyone.

Home Instead is a wonderful company. The care and compassion the Caregivers have for their clients is admirable. The staff will meet with family at no cost, which is especially important in the beginning when you’re trying to determine how many hours of care you are going to need. They stay by your side and make sure your Caregivers match your personality. Kim and Kristen set up the schedules and they are understanding and very easy to work with. If you need in-home care, I highly recommend Home Instead.

Home Instead come 2 afternoons a week to care for my 85 year old mother. Mom lives with my family in her own attached semi apartment. One day a week transport her to the beauty salon. Every 3 months they take her to the foot dr for toenail trim. They go out for lunch and get a special coffee each day they are with her. They change her sheets, paint her nails, do lite exercises, lite house cleaning, work on memory games, go for short walks, take her to visit her sister. They are timely, pleasant and work hard to meet my mothers needs. I leave a list each day of things I would like them to do for/with mom-sometimes they have todo a lot of encouraging to get her to work on exercises or eat enough. They are never harsh with their words nor demeaning when she forgets or needs help with something, The home staff leave me notes of any concerns about mom or any appointment scheduling changes. Occasionally we have needed extra shifts, the office staff have worked to fill our needs.

I wanted to know the exact service that could be provided. the amount of time in days or hours per month, the cost of service. All those questions were answered by the knowledgeable staff member that came for a first visit. It was explained that the care-giver/companions who would come were thoroughly trained for service.
