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.

Professional, Excellent, and Helpful in-home care for my aging father. After a January fall and 3 week hospital stay in Lincoln IL,
I was connected with Springfield's locally owned and operated HomeInStead team to aid in transitioning my father back into his home. The friendly staff and easy terms made all the difference during this critical time for our family and my father's care. Our caregiver was helpful and friendly and I can happily share successful in providing the needed additional help to my mom and family to make important adjustments to care for my dad.
Thank you Home Instead !! Blake W.

Samantha came to visit/interview to care for my father. She was quick to judge the cleanliness of his house, he was taken by ambulance to the hospital and had not returned home yet. I reside out of state, so my sister met with her and Samantha called me after. She hymn-hawed around to the point of me finally asking her to come out with it. Samantha proceeded to tell me the house smelled of animal urine and she was unable to find a clean place to sit down. My sister had left the hospital to meet with her and hadn't had a chance to straighten up yet. When we told her we had a professional floor to ceiling sterilization cleaning done 3 weeks ago and she didn't believe us and said we were lying. My father is 86 years old, sick and showing dementia symptoms, of course his home needs some attention. The man needs help, which we were trying to accomplish after being severely taxed by the urgent need for care in his home. It is my strong belief that this girl may need to find another vocation if she is not prepared to tackle these assignments.

It is with pleasure that we had a super person to help to meet the needs of my wife. She readily fit into our family .and was a vital part of her providing and caring for her needs. They quickly bonded and she readily responded to the activities with excitement and willing to do her best. She was the angel that was sent at a time of uncertainty. We miss her and wish her well .
