HomeCare

We all need a little help at one time or another. As we age, keeping up a household and performing physical tasks can become more difficult.

HomeCare Assistants can help you maintain your independence by:

  • Providing in-home, non-medical support temporarily or long-term due to injury, surgery, disability, or aging

  • Assisting with personal care (bathing, grooming, dressing), house cleaning, cooking, laundry, shopping, or errands

A little help or a lot, long-term or just for a while—we're here to help you stay at home safely and comfortably.

  • Licensed by the Illinois Department of Public Health and certified by the Illinois Department on Aging
