- MNMary NisbetOct 15, 20255.0For those looking for in-home care for a loved one, you need look no further than Home Instead. When I lived in South Carolina, my mother moved close to me in a senior community. Sadly, her health issues made it impossible for her to remain in her independent living apartment (which she loved). After many interviews, we found Home Instead. My beloved mother enjoyed her apartment until she passed away, with me and her kind, compassionate Home Instead caregiver by her side. Many years later when we relocated to Kirkland, my mother-in-law followed, leaving her home in Michigan. She had two lovely years in a senior community and her health issues put her in the same position as my mother. We knew who to call. Home Instead gave her a wonderful team of caregivers who provided around the clock support. She has remained in her apartment, where she wants to be. Thank you, Home Instead, for making it possible for our mothers to enjoy their final years. Means the world to us.
