Keyonna Washington met my mom about a year and a half ago. For 5
nights/week ever since meeting her, Keykey, as those who know her well call her, has been
helping my mom with her activities of daily living, getting her ready for bed, helping with the
bathroom, getting her up and dressed in the morning, along with so many other simple but
critical tasks of daily living. KeyKey allowed my mom to maintain her dignity, and along the way,
they got to know one another very well.
My mom trusted KeyKey. She depended on KeyKey, and KeyKey never let her down. And as
time passed, I realized the friendship she’d forged with KeyKey, and I realized that she loved her. We couldn’t be more grateful for having KeyKey in my moms life.

Approximately one year ago we were approved to receive in-home care for my husband and we chose Home Instead. The Veteran’s Administration approved two days a week for six hours a day. Sami made an in-home visit to assess our situation, placing Tim with my husband. It was a perfect fit! Tim is very kind and helpful. He assists with personal hygiene and caregiving. He is quite pleasant and very dependable. It is a huge relief to be able to run errands, attend doctor’s appointments, etc. and leave my husband in Tim’s care. I never have to worry.
Our entire overall experience with Home Instead has been very pleasant. We have and will continue to refer our friends needing your services.

Office Advocate Gina was wonderful to work with. We fell in love with Caregiver Missy who started day one until we had to place Dad in an extended care facility 2 years later! Shifts were always covered when we needed extra time.

Talk about AMAZING Group of individuals who understand what you are going through when needing assistance for yourself or a loved one. They take care of EVERYTHING -- Just make the call and they will guide you through the entire process with easy to understand descriptions and arrangements.
In my case, my father fell ill rather quickly and was unable to do anything for himself that just a day earlier was very capable.
They came the same day as the phone call, patiently and empathetically explained all levels of assistance they can provide and helped me make the best decisions given the needs of my dad.
As issues and questions arose, the entire team at Home Instead were so kind from the individual answering phone calls, to Sammy, the patient care coordinator to PulCheri who spent the overnight hours making sure my dad was well taken care of.
They are honest, upfront and definitely a group you should call without hesitation.
