    I regret to say that Home Instead staff are not very good at following up, and their online care portal is not reliable or functional. I cannot leave TO DO requests and in order to get some feedback to the posts or communication that I can add, I am forced to call in to the office. In addition, when it comes to the care of my father, caretaker changes have been made without any notification ahead of time. This confuses my father and does not make it easy for him to build trust with the caregivers who have been assigned working with him. Finally, the staff tend to be on their phones while they are there to give care to my father. This is a NO-NO! What if something unfortunate were to happen while they are busy on their phones? Thus far, I cannot recommend this service in the Quincy, IL area.

    Incredible service. I found myself in need of sitting/companionship services for my mom at a local Memory Care unit after an incident necessitated 1:1 care, and Home Instead was at the ready on a Saturday morning to help me secure care by Saturday evening. The staff went out of their way to help me on a holiday weekend and I could not be more grateful.

    We’ve been working with Home Instead for nearly two years to take care of my 95 year old aunt. They’re always on top of her doctor’s appointments and daily cares. They communicate changes in her mental status, discomfort, or needs. They keep me informed on what the doctor says when I can’t make the appointment. My aunt is a dear but she’s set in her ways and I know she’s a bit of a handful sometimes. She has them there 15 hours a day. They are great about trying to keep the same staff with her to help with her confusion. I cannot express how much we appreciate not having to worry about her safety. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone.

    The best people, they took great care of both my mother and father. I'd give them my top rating. They are the best. Bryan Dirks

    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.
