"I am honored to work with Home Instead because:
Home Instead understands that a good fit between the client and the caregivers is crucial. An introduction is provided, and experienced caregivers overlapped their schedules with mine to train me and provide a smoother transition for the client.
Many other home care agencies are strict about what transportation services we can provide when working with a client. Such as trips outside of the home are limited to shopping and medical trips. I have had clients ask me to take them to church, to go visit family and friends, go for a drive, etc. Now I don’t have to say no. What is important to the client is important to us.
Shifts are always at least four hours giving ample time to meet the clients needs and wants without creating an environment that is rushed.
With client centered care the course of the day can be directed by the clients. Activities that they enjoy, making choices for themselves, of course gentle nudging and reminders for completing essential care as well.
Companionship!!! Yes this is not only allowed by Home Instead , it is standard. I love this part. Can you tell? We listen ,talk, watch programs, listen to music and great life stories. Art, cooking, you name it, if it is important to my client it is important to me.
When its snowing or your car isn’t working supervisors drive us to and from our shifts.
I can’t say enough about this great organization and how much I appreciate them."

"When I started working for Home Instead I was working for a care facility and wanted to have more one on one time with clients. After starting work I loved the way my schedule was flexible and how when I needed something I always got a quick response from the office. Also, my husband and I travel to Mexico frequently to visit family and when returning they have made it easy to come back to work. I also work for another care company and I will have to say that working with Home Insteads system is much more convenient and safer for both me and my clients. It helps me be more accountable without the hassle."

"It has been a privilege to work for this company that people and other caregivers are amazing, Thanks for the opportunity to make peoples lives better"
"As a new resident of the State of Washington, and requiring work, I chose Home Instead initially because I had been a caregiver in Idaho and enjoyed the work that I was doing. I applied to Home Instead because it was close to Port Angeles where I live and because of the flexible work hours. Aside from needing the income, my past experiences working with the elderly were revelatory. I worked almost exclusively as a companion and caregiver to women 85-97 years old. The rewards were great. Each has a story. Each has been isolated either emotionally, physically or socially effected by the era in which they were born and raised."
"In addition to the pleasure I receive in the of type of work I am seeking, I am impressed by the professionalism of the Home Instead organization. The training is over the top! I received none at my last job. The staff is aware, knowledgeable and responsive. I believe that those qualities will continue to be demonstrated as I move forward."

"Home Instead has supported me every step of the way. The clients I have helped give me a sense of pride and I'm so grateful to be part of the team."
"Support from the office staff; no matter what the need, someone is able to help!! Thank you!"
"How rewarding to help the aging. To help them feel comfortable not only in their homes, but in their own skin! What a blessing!"
"Home Instead is very organized. They help us and they listen to our concerns.
I like working as a CAREGiver. I can't heal the client, but I make sure I make them comfy and happy for the rest of their time left in this world!"
"I joined the Home Instead team of caregivers at the urging of my daughter who was already working for them. I hesitated because, frankly, I was burned out from caring for my in-laws all the while raising my large family. But I gave it a chance and I am so glad I did. Transitioning from being a family caregiver to a Home Care Aid was better than I could have imagined. Even though I was burned out from caring for my in-laws, the support and training I received from the office made all the difference and were there when a particularly difficult situation came up."
"Now after almost 5 years in the field, I was offered the position of Training and Engagement Mentor which has turned out to be the closest thing to a calling for me. I get to meet all the folks we care for and get to work with our super CAREGivers as well. I am just so glad I took the chance so many years ago!"

"I started with Home Instead 5 years ago as a CAREGiver. I had not ever been in the field prior to moving to Sequim but it didn't take me long to decide I absolutely loved it! The flexibility of the job, which was new to me, made all the difference in my life. Prior to coming to work at Home Instead I was working the typical 9 to 5 office job. The best part of my new career was all the people I got to meet. Great stories, great company, just an all around awesome experience. Are there bad days, sure, but the good days far out way those.
When I was offered a position in the office I decided to take it so I could continue to learn more and grow in this industry. I still get to help the CAREGivers who in turn are helping our seniors. Honestly, this is the first time in my life I not only like the company I work for, but I also LOVE what I do!"
