I broke my foot badly and realized I needed extra care to live independently while I healed. Home Instead, which is based in San Rafael, came to my home and explained their services. They were amenable and flexible to a schedule that met my needs and my budget. All of the caregivers they sent to my home were outstanding. Cleaning, cooking, driving, wellness assistance at any level. My elderly Mother also uses Home Instead in another region of California, so they have a good track record. If you get a caregiver who isn't a good fit, you just call the Home Instead office and they immediately find another caregiver. Licensed, insured, and highly professional, I can recommend Home Instead for caregiving. I also find it comforting to know that if I have a health emergency in the future that requires caregiving at home, I have an established relationship with Home Instead for quick service.

I can only assume they are not used to people seeking clarity about the details of their contract. People are usually too devastated about their family circumstance to have the energy to get everything done and focus on every detail.

Which wasn't only rude and unprofessional, but mean. But I'm glad I know now before they ever had a chance to get near my loved one. It's sad.

The caregivers they matched us with were exceptional -- professional, kind, and genuinely caring. They quickly became part of our family, treating our loved one with the same warmth and respect they'd show their own. The entire process was seamless, and the team went above and beyond to find the right fit. We were truly thrilled with how everything worked out and couldn't have asked for better support.

Recently when a friend fractured her foot, she really needed a special boot to allow her foot to heal. With no medical insurance (no job), paying for something outright would've been tough.

HomeCARES is an amazing nonprofit which recycles gently used & new medical equipment to those who need it at no charge. Their hours are only Wednesdays, but if you or someone you know can wait to check to see if they have what you're seeking, it could be well worth it. It doesn't get better than FREE. I saw numerous commodes, crutches, wheel chairs & so much more. If you have medical equipment to donate, this is the place.
