  I reached out to Home Instead Seattle when I was looking for caregiver/companion service for my mother. She was in an excellent assisted living facility, but as with most of those organizations they are chronically understaffed even with my being there 3 days a week. Kevin came to meet my mother and me and made the effort to connect and get to know us in order to find the right person on his staff to fit personality, needs and interests. That attention to detail down to what kind of music Mom enjoyed and the compassion that prompts it came across and that truly matters. As it turned out the timing was fortuitous because my mother went onto hospice care shortly after we made arrangements. What I found out (and many other families do) was that even between excellent hospice and the assisted living there still wasn't much coverage. The Home Instead caregiver, Shania was extraordinary. I cannot imagine a better person to be with me and the hospice nurse on the day my mother passed away. She was calm, collected and it was like we'd been friends for years instead of just meeting. What Shania brought was beyond expertise. It was extraordinary kindness and immediate connection. I am sure it would have been a very different experience without her and that sort of care. My mother passed away peacefully and comfortably. Shania was critical in helping her and helping me when grief hits hard. She even took care of helping to organize the assisted living staff while I was dealing with the loss and contacting the rest of my family and even finding the right funeral home. I simply can't thank Home Instead enough and of course, I will always remember what they provided. It was truly a gift.
