When you find yourself on your own to attend to an elderly parent or family member who is needing support or struggling, Home Instead Oak Park and Tia Harrison understand and go the extra mile. I was overseas while the pandemic was gripping the world and Tia was helpful, experienced, and with a great understanding of what to do.
