Meet the Agency
Home Instead is a franchise location of Home Instead, a national home care brand. This office is based in Lake Charles, Louisiana and serves the surrounding area.
They are a non-medical personal care agency — not a medical home health agency. Caregivers help with everyday things like bathing, meals, and company. They don't give shots, change wound dressings, or do anything a nurse would do.
About Home Instead

Home Instead was founded in 1994. Today the brand has 594+ offices across 51 states.
