You or a senior loved one may prefer to receive assistance with activities of daily living (bathing, dressing, transferring, walking, eating, toileting), running errands, grocery shopping, transportation to medical appointments, laundry, and light housekeeping in your own home rather than moving to a community. There are licensed, non-medical home care agencies that will send a private caregiver to provide assistance in the home. There are other types of caregiving arrangements available, such as an unlicensed, independent contractor. However, a licensed home care agency will act as the employer and assume the responsibilities of its caregivers or employees. We can assist you with screening the appropriate non-medical home care agencies in the Chicago metropolitan area and ultimately choose the best caregiver by:
A thorough screening for the appropriate agency needs be conducted as there may be differences in what is within the scope of their business. For instance, the definition of what constitutes "light housekeeping", does differ from agency to agency. The calculation of the bottom line costs can also be tricky. We are here to help you find the best non-medical home care agencies in the areas of Cook, Du Page, Will, and Lake County, Illinois.
