    Every health aide was professional and thoughtful. Andrea, my 9-5 helper from M-F is an exceptional…read morecare giver. She always does everything and anything quite well. She genuinely shows her respect and caring for both myself and my husband. Cheryl, my weekend 9-1 helper, goes out of her way to please both my husband and me. Her energy & personality brighten our days. She is very helpful and caring.

    My sister and I (both out of state) have been trying to set up home care for our 102 year mother,…read moreshould she need it. Sounds weird, I know, but she is independent, has a part time caregiver and Hospice. We researched all home care companies in the northern Indiana area and decided on two different companies, Home Instead being one of them. My sister called and talked to Eric at Home Instead around Christmas. She explained that we wanted to set up an account should their services be needed for our mother. Eric told my sister that they were short staffed (holidays) but that someone would be out to meet our mother and get something set up. A lady did meet with our mother (and Hospice) to determine her needs. Eric had indicated that he would call my sister back to get financial information to set up an account. My sister called back today because she had not heard from anyone at Home Instead. When she talked to Eric, he couldn't find a file, thought our mother lived in another city and he was generally vague with my sister, telling her he'd research it and get back to her. When he called back, he stated that our mother had refused to sign any paperwork for them. My sister reminded him that she had told him in the beginning that we have POA, and that the visit was just one to set up an account should we need their services. Eric was confrontational with my sister and after much conversation with him, she told him she didn't have a lot of faith/confidence/trust in Home Instead at that point. Eric told her she should find another company to help out our mother. When my sister said she was going to do that, Eric said "Good Luck" and hung up on her! No apologies for the lack of follow up, lack of remembering/understanding what our needs are, and then to be defensive and hang up on her? Not a good solution or resource for us.

    Used to be good--but NOT NOW!…read more I hired this company in 2019, wanting my husband to be able to age in place in a safe manner. I entered this relationship after this company cared for my father the previous years. I wanted to offer my husband safety, comfort, and dignity in his own home. With hospitalizations over the last 2 years of almost 2 months, skilled care was required to ensure his safety at home. I am a working professional. Due to my husband's critical health issues and fragility, in 2023 alone, we used this company for just under Five Thousand Hours (in 2023 alone---not including 2022, 2021, 2020 or 2019 hours) During my husband's hospitalizations (never planned, always critical health issues) I always kept and paid the day help and offered to pay the night help even though I wasn't using them, due to short notice which they gladly accepted. Despite that history, on Friday 2/09 late morning, knowing I was out of town, ( I had emailed them January 3 of my travel for the next 3 months) they sent me an email (NOT A PHONE CALL, NOT EVEN A TEXT) saying they did not have anyone to fill the schedule for Sunday 2/11. (THIS SUNDAY--less than 48 hours away). And that they were discontinuing services with us! I was completely shocked---a company I had trusted to care for my husband for over 5 years. They left a very ill vulnerable person with NO CARE AND LESS THAN 48 hours' notice, on a Friday afternoon! This certainly created unnecessary complications and increased risk for my husband's health, well-being, and safety. My husband is NOT a difficult case. His caregivers liked him and did a good job, when they knew him. Having new people regularly was difficult for all of us, which happened more frequently lately. Discontinuing service, after 5 years (and at least 1 year prior with my parents, so over 6 years) without so much as a phone call really is not a standard of care one would expect. Additionally, when emailing on a Friday (knowing for 5 weeks that I would be out of town that day) that services were being discontinued on Sunday, certainly that gives us no ability to ensure a safe transition of care is in place and put my husband's well-being at risk. This has been a very disappointing ending to a 5-year relationship. If you decide to use these people, I suggest you check your emails several times a day and have contingency plans in place--to use immediately!

    My experience with Senior1Care was pretty awful. Although about half of the attendants, who came…read moreto my elderly relative's apartment were good, the other half could not be trusted. Supplies in the apartment disappeared. My main disappointment, though, was with the administration. We received bills totaling many thousands of dollars with no itemization. When I asked about this, I was told that it was too time-consuming for the billing department to itemize! Once, when I was visiting, the care management consultant came over "just to meet me and say hello," and then charged us for the visit. I'm so glad we switched to another group.
