Home Instead Senior Care of Hunterdon and Warren Counties, based in Washington, has been selected as a “Caring Star of 2017” for in-home care service excellence.  In ratings and reviews from family caregivers and cognitively healthy older adults, Home Instead Senior Care earned a 5-star consumer rating (the highest possible score) within the last year, while also having a high volume of positive reviews and meeting other qualifying criteria for this national honor.

“We strive daily to deliver the highest quality in-home care for our clients, and this award helps validate our delivery on that promise,” said Tracy L. Fazzolari, CSA, Home Instead Senior Care franchise owner.

Americans are increasingly seeking insights provided by online reviews to help guide important senior care decisions for aging or ailing loved ones.  In multiple Caring.com research studies, the majority of family caregivers have indicated that they turn to the Internet and consumer reviews when researching home care agencies, and have relied on these perspectives more so than in-person recommendations from geriatric professionals or medical personnel.  The Caring Stars annual list helps consumers reliably narrow senior care service options for their loved ones to the most-acclaimed providers-particularly as they gather for the holidays and discover increased or urgent senior care needs.

“Congratulations to Home Instead Senior Care for achieving this award after earning accolades on Caring.com from clients and their loved ones,” said Karen Cassel, Caring.com CEO.  “This important milestone speaks volumes about the positive difference Home Instead is making in serving older adults, and we celebrate their accomplishments.”

Some of the positive feedback that led to Home Instead Senior Care being a Caring Star of 2017 includes:

“You were there for me when I didn’t know where to turn for help in taking care of my husband.”

“When mom’s caregiver is there I am relieved! She is well-trained and so caring. Mom looks forward to her coming.”

“The kind, compassionate, gentle, and nurturing care that our dad’s CAREGivers provide for him gives me comfort, a peace of mind, and a gratitude that I just don’t have enough words for.”
