In 2007, Lan Berry opened the Home Instead Senior Care in Dothan, Alabama. Since then, we have been devoted to the highest-quality care for your loved one in the comforting atmosphere of home. Senior home care is personal to us, and we are there to give you the peace of mind that comes from knowing you and your family members are in the best possible care. Home Instead CAREGivers are experienced in providing the utmost quality senior care and have a passion for helping seniors live safe and fulfilling lives in their homes.

Mobility Assistance
Companionship and Home Helper
Meal preparation
Medication Reminders
Accompany to doctor visits
Grocery shopping
Laundry and linens
Socializing
Alzheimer’s or Other Dementias Care
Managing behavioral symptoms
Assist with activities of daily living
Keeping seniors safe
Transitional Care Services
Transportation

Home Instead Senior Care's mission of caring for older adults extends not only to seniors and their families, but to the company's CAREGivers as well. "We like to talk about a holistic approach—caring for our CAREGivers' minds, bodies and spirits," says Owner Lan Berry. "When you care for the CAREGivers, they in turn are better equipped to create meaningful relationships with their clients."
"We refer to that as the 'CAREGiver Experience.' That means valuing CAREGivers and addressing their needs to allow them to do what they do best-help seniors remain independent for as long as possible."
Much of that mission is accomplished through training and support, Berry explained. "Home Instead CAREGivers complete a multi-phased safety and caregiving education program that features case studies, senior illness information, stimulating activities, nutritional recipes, and tips for coping with stress. This is the cornerstone of our training program," he said. The CAREGiver Experience is what makes caregiving more than "just a job" for our CAREGivers.
