He was always easy to reach and quick to respond. There was never a time that I ever felt alone. The team he put together was magnificent, kind and caring!

Meredith, the owner of this company, was my beloved grandmother's private case manager towards the end of her life. I suggested my dad hire a private case manager as her dementia was getting worse and my dad was having a hard time coping and managing her medical and emotional needs. Meredith coordinated doctors appointments, coached my dad through dealing with dementia, helped arrange for and provide caregivers, and offered moral and emotional support and guidance for my grandmother and the whole family. My grandmother passed away peacefully at home, and I don't think it would have gone as well as it did without the help and support of Meredith and her team. Meredith was very patient with my grandmother who was wary of new people and afraid of relinquishing control as her dementia progressed. She also handled the tense family dynamics of end of life care very well and was almost like a family member during that time, we knew we could count on her. Thank you Meredith!

From the case manager to the nurse, physical therapist, and occupational therapist, everyone has been professional and attentive. I am especially grateful for the occupational therapist, Joelle Lin. She is experienced, knowledgeable, and highly professional, and she genuinely cares about her patients' well-being. She is truly exceptional.

Under PT Xu, Ben, Nurse Annie, and OT Debbie's professional guidance and instruction, my older family member has already been making remarkable progress and now can throw/kick balls/balloons, do sit-to-stands, sing & speak loudly, brush teeth, comb hair, and spends most of the day mentally & physically stimulated & engaged in activities rather than sleeping on the bed. Our older family member's progress would not have been possible without their expertise, support, and perseverance. Nurse Annie is incredibly compassionate, smart, and detail-oriented & improved our family member's lung function and bedsore treatment/prevention. Debbie & Ben are diligent and creative with their PT/OT approaches, tailoring it to each older adult's interests and abilities. Stephanie is meticulous in cleansing and taught us all sorts of techniques to more feasibly do regular cleanings. We are grateful for amazing and experienced healthcare personnel like Dr. Xu, Ben, Debbie, Stephanie, and Nurse Annie who go the extra mile to take care of their patients. Each visit from these staff members is filled with cheer and new learnings. Thank you for making a positive difference.

    I recently contacted Alice Home Care for some advice as I had used them for my uncle during the…read morepandemic. I needed advice about help I needed in an area that Alice Home Care did not service and Alice was very helpful with a referral and also helped me with concerns I had with that other agency. The direct care I had with working with Alice Home Care was over the top. We were in the pandemic. My uncle had fallen and had Covid and needed home care. Alice met me at the house and we proceeded to get information from my cousin about what was needed for his father. Then my cousin fell ill during the talk. Alice saw the severity of the situation and brought in help within a couple of hours. This was amazing. And so badly needed. Eventually a longer term solution was found by Alice and the care was used for several months until my uncle moved to assisted living. Alice Home Care came to the rescue, brought in care that the family appreciated, and was very open in communications.

I had help from my family for the first week but did not know much help I would need after that. At 84 and living alone in a house with many stairs, I anticipated needing some care. I called Alice after the first week, seeking help with a range of concerns - I could not easily ice the wound on my own. Cooking and even minimal housekeeping were. still impossible. Having support nearby when I began showering felt essential. Alice listened carefully to my needs and hopes and set up a caretaker beginning just two days later. I could not have been more satisfied, my helper was organized, efficient, and very responsive. I felt cared for, the house felt clean and well stocked, she cooked and cleaned up as needed with minimal direction. Highly recommend.

The meeting went so well that we cancelled our other information meetings. As Director of Care Management, Victoria is superb at building rapport, assessing our needs, and communicating effectively. Our caregivers, Connie L., and Sophia De la C., are just plain wonderful. We knew we had a good team in place when our 96-yr-old Mom, who had fiercely resisted home care, is regularly laughing with Connie or Sophia, who are kind, energetic, and bring good ideas for engaging with Mom to the table. Our Mom regularly says "today was a good day" after her caregiving shifts. We know alot goes on behind the scenes to ensure good people are hired, trained and matched so well, so thanks to Karen R. too -- and especially so for responding so speedily to get us home care when we had a personal emergency, and couldn't leave Mom alone. For a business that is all about people, Home Instead runs a first-rate home care agency. Kudos.
