Crystal Lake, home to 40,000 residents and a senior community that makes up 15.4% of the population — slightly less than their national proportion of 16.5% — is sought out by retirees for its low crime rate and access to community-based services and programs. It’s located within the Chicago metro area and is close to some of the best hospitals in the state, including the nationally recognized Northwestern Medicine McHenry Hospital and Good Shepherd Hospital, both of which are within 10 miles.
The city supports its older residents through numerous home care agencies. These agencies enable many to age in place by administering nonmedical services such as help with personal care and light housework. They charge approximately $5,672 per month. This is affordable compared to home health care, which includes skilled nursing services.
Below we’ve compiled a comprehensive directory of every home care provider in Crystal Lake– complete with services offered and reviews from families who’ve actually used the service. In addition to our in-depth provider listings, we’ve compiled resources to help seniors and their families to access all the tools they need to age in place safely and gracefully.
