Home Instead

Help with exam NAB would be great. I need all the help I can get. I have struggled on mu own without passing

I do not know how we would have survived my moms hip fracture without homeinstead and the help they have giving us for the past year.

These people twice now have scheduled a interview that they didn't even call me for if they are this unprofessional and forgetful imagine having your loved ones in here don't do it and look somewhere e else.

Never hire someone you do not know without a background check. Homeinstead has done all of the research for us and we would have been lost without them.

They have a wide variety of people you can hire. My recommendation is to try a few of them out before settling on one of them. It was our third person that was the best for us.

We initially hired an aid from a craigslist ( I know that was stupid) she stole money from my mom. We have then went with homeinstead and have been happy ever since.

The DeKalb IL location sent us caregivers who stole from us, used our washer and dryer to do their personal laundry, ate us out of house and home, and one caregiver did not even realize my mother's oxygen was not properly hooked up and she was without oxygen for 8 hours (was supposed to be on oxygen 24/7). And they fired ME because I complained about these issues and was therefore, "too demanding."

Home instead is a great resource for your loved one's home care needs. They can help find a care giver in your area and are available for advice on common conditions such as depression, alzheimer's, and arthritis.

I know homeinstead is like a chain or something like that but our homeinstead has been great and the caregivers have become a part of our family.

For starters (this was years ago, but has rankled me EVERY time I see their ads) - the R. I. branch had an outgoing message to potential caregivers stating, in essence, that we were basically unskilled, thus could only expect their paltry $7.00 an hour.

I thought, what the heck, let's see what it's like, they hired me for an adversarial Alzheimers dementia client who HATED me being there. I went twice and called the agency before I was needed the third time and said I wasn't coming. I could have said I was sick and lied about it, but I chose to tell the truth, that I felt forced to find another job.

The message didn't get to the family and the man was left alone. The owner called, yelled at me and hung up when it was THEIR error!

Then I see on a local afternoon television show with a spot about Home Instead and the reps. Are stating how they train all caregivers in Alzheimers care - I received NO training whatsoever! Bad experience across the board.

I applied for a job in Largo. I was told 3 days in a training class (no pay). You pay for your drug test. They don't guarantee work. They want everything done their way. I wasn't interested in this company.

I called Home Instead to get a quote for a home caregiver for my great uncle in Southern California. And man was Home Instead expensive. I know they talk about screening their employees and all that but is it really worth DOUBLE what other people are charging? I'd love to hear anyone else's stories, but Home Instead should be called Poverty Instead.

This is just a very expensive service. There are better supports out there. This is just a company trying to profit off desperate home care takers.
