Chicago - West Suburbs, Schaumburg and Surrounding Areas Senior Home Care Services

Do you worry about the health and well-being of your parents, grandparents or senior loved ones? Perhaps your Mother gets confused and can't keep her doctor appointments and medications straight. Or maybe your Dad seems depressed and doesn't enjoy fishing anymore.  Worse, maybe he is driving erratically.  Maybe your grandmother with Alzheimer's needs someone to help her be safe while you're at work. That's when Home Instead Senior Care in Elk Grove Village can come into their home and be a resource for you.

Home Instead Senior Care can help you provide care for a senior in your family that requires greater care than you can provide. Many of our families have considered a nursing home or other senior residential facility, but maybe your loved one is simply not ready for that.  Or maybe your senior never would or could leave their home. 

The role of the sandwich generation today is more critical to seniors than ever.  Boomer parents are raising their families and / or spending time with grandchildren.  Perhaps they are planning for retirement, or maybe are enjoying retirement.  But now an ever greater portion of the Boomer generation must also meet the growing care requirements of aging parents.  The stresses of being a family care giver can be overwhelming. 

Often the family care giver does not even know how engrossed they have become.  Possibly your parent had a stroke or fell and your life changed overnight.  Or, perhaps, your parents changed gradually, becoming ever more dependent on you for errands, household chores and support.  This journey can be a downward sprial for both of you until something changes - either by finding more time in your day or finding another resource.  Please learn more at www.caregiverstress.com. This is a comprehensive website where you can find resources and even take a test to help you understand where you are on your journey relative to others in a similar situation.

If you can relate to these circumstances, Home Instead Senior Care can help.  We provide compassionate, caring CAREGivers who assist seniors with activities of daily living, such a laundry, meals, errands and transportation, even bathing assistance and incontinence care.  Our in-home care services are provided in your loved one's home.  We strive, in everything we do, to help seniors live safely and independently at home.

We are very flexible and will design a care plan that works for your loved one. We start with a thorough safety assessment of the home and examine your senior's physical and cognitive capabilites.  Together with the family we then design a schedule that accomodates your family's schedule and your senior's routines, focusing on the key daily activities with which you need assistance.  We can design a schedule of as little as one hour per day (even per week!) up to live-in care 24 hours a day, 7 days per week.

All our CAREGivers are thoroughly screened, extensively trained, insured and bonded.  They are matched to your preferences and are professional and reliable.  We also conduct regular quality visits in the home to ensure everything is the way you and your senior loved one wish.  If you would like to switch your CAREGiver we can switch at no cost to you.

We have a wide variety of services available.  We also have CAREGivers with experience and training in Alzheimer's and dementia care.  We are in the business of providing personalized service in private homes.  If you do not see your need listed below, please contact us.  Perhaps we can accomodate you (remember, we are 100% non-medical).
