This just happened yesterday, 11/8 /22 so I am still upset. I did wait a day to post, cooled off,…read morebut still angry enought to post. My sister was bedridden with chemo, my mother had just gotten out of the hospital, 2 patients and I work full time. 1st care giver quit the Home Instead company entirely after a week. Having to re-train the 2nd care giver, and 3 weeks later my sister passes away. 1 week after she passed, Home instead re negotiated the 2nd care giver to 3 days a week, which was o.k. 2 Days later they said we could only have her for 1 day a week. What? Offering me a 3rd care giver AGAIN? Taking away the care giver my 90 yr old Mom had grown to love, while she was grieving the loss of her 3rd daughter!! Home Instead is manipulative, raised their rates by 4K a year also.. They have unacceptable conditions on contacting the care giver.. they are so bad with taking messages, they told the care giver that my mother had passed away and my sister was coming home.. They got the message ENTIRELY backwards, it was my sister that passed.. As the customer you have to call the office, then they call the care giver with the message. THAT wasn't the first time they got the message wrong.. The Company doesn't care about the heartache to the 90 year old customer who is grieving the loss of her 3rd daughter and needs the care? What kind of business is this? I fired them right then and there.

Office staff seemed GREAT! Really appeared to listen and find us the "best" caregiver..... The one…read morethey sent seemed genuinely to care and be a good fit..... BUT..... 2 weeks in, she dropped my husband on the floor/bedframe while transferring him to his WC. Things happen as you learn your client and they learn you, so no injury, we moved on. However, my husband is elderly and highly subject to suggestive comments. We found ourselves fighting all the TIME when this caregiver was here. Apparently, it became so bad that I was reported as being verbally abusive... And the company decided my home was too volatile for them to be comfortable sending in another caregiver.... They never asked me why these accusations may have been made, although she was being paid to basically sit on her bottom - vape-play slots on her phone, check her RING cam, and look at ME when he needed assistance! YET..... Once this certain caregiver was gone from my home, it was realized she was "suggesting" to him that I was abusive, he would be better off without me, I was just trying to put him in a home, he could get 24/7 care in home (false) through the VA, etc.... Since this agency is no longer involved, my home is peaceful & serene again, I have competent caregivers, and there have been ZERO complaints from my husband, the new agency, caregivers, the state, etc..... This agency could have been a godsend to my family, but they need to also realize their employees are NOT the only voice that should be heard.... By the way, not sure why they say I on California, but I am reviewing the Olympia, WA location......
