Home Instead - Lake Charles, LA
4.3

We chose Home Instead Care because they were the only agency up and running in our area following the hurricanes. Overall, the experience has been pretty good. I gave them 4's because I know that they are there to help take care of my mother, but I think it would be helpful able do other things in addition that fall back on me. I would recommend them to others looking.

Our experience with At Home Care of Louisiana has been wonderful. Our interaction with the management team has been excellent, the care and communication with the care givers has been excellent. Everyone is very personable, and we have been very impressed with everything. They really stepped up during the pandemic which we really appreciated. The value for cost is great with everything they have to offer.
