I first joined the Home Instead family in Merrillville in 2019 as the Home Care Consultant and Marketing Liaison after speaking with our owner, Sandi, while seeking support for my own parents. That experience allowed me not only to learn about home care, but also to better understand the many services available and how to navigate the often overwhelming process of caring for aging loved ones.
My father passed away in 2020, and from that point on, my mom’s care journey continued with Home Instead by our side. I am deeply grateful that we were able to honor my mom’s wish to remain at home until her passing last month, made possible by our Home Instead care team and the truly amazing, compassionate, and dedicated Care Pros who touched her life. Many of them even took the time to attend her wake services, which meant more to us than words can express.
Home Instead has truly been a Godsend to my mom, to me, and to my family.

My wife and I wanted to take a moment to thank Home Instead, and their dedicated staff, for all of the care they have provided to us over the years. It is without a doubt that Home Instead is the only reason we have been able to maintain our independence, and quality of life, while remaining in our own home. Thank you Home Instead!

I first met Sandy from Home Instead 13 years ago. I can speak first hand on their experience, care, professionalism and support in senior care services. Focusing on individual care and needs is key for this population and they work with clients and their family to tailor a plan to help keep clients in their homes. I would not hesitate to highly recommend their professional, compassionate services to any client/family in need.
