The 10 Best Home Health Agencies for Seniors in Downers Grove, IL for 2025

"The caregiver that I have from Wellspring Healthcare is wonderful. I have no complaints at all, and I wish she could be here longer, but it is all we can afford. The agency could use some work in their overall service, but I have no complaints about my caregiver. There were times when my caregiver couldn't come one day or another, and I asked them to please send someone else and they couldn't find anybody. There were days when it was just me and my husband and nobody here to take care of us. "

"Nancy from Bright Star is an exceptional and caring caregiver who helps us with my Dad. My Dad still lives in his house of 70 years and he’s so happy. It’s because of her great care that at nearly 93, he is doing so well. She keeps him engaged with games, movies and fed with meals he loves. He always looks nice each day. I have such peace of mind when Nancy is there."

"We are going with Residential Home Health & Hospice - Lisle. They have come out and are trying to get more assistance for my mom, like Meals On Wheels and stuff like that. We have been using them for three months now. A nurse comes in and evaluates my mom. She takes her blood pressure and temperature and sees if she has sores or anything like that. My mom has an occupational therapist and a physical therapist. They gave a lot of recommendations. We just recently got my mom the thing that goes around your toilet to help her stand and give her support. We also got her walker. Then they're doing the actual physical therapy and occupational therapy, trying to strengthen her core and stuff. The occupational therapist and the physical therapist come every other week, so it's twice a month. It's not a whole lot, but it does help. The nurse comes once a month. Medicaid pays for all of it as far as the billing goes."

"I was very satisfied with Independence-4-Seniors, and the caregiver was good and took good care of my husband. "

"Employees seem to be not very well screened. I had several homemakers from this agency and they were all terrible. I had things stolen, was threatened, and none of them did the work they were supposed to do. The agency didn't care - they just sent a body -and did nothing when I complained. I wouldn't recommend this agency to anyone. "

"I love the service from Midwestern Healthcare. The caregivers come out to give my medicine and see if I am doing well. They have been really good in checking on how my health is going. I was diagnosed of being anemic. Since then, they made sure that I get my blood tests from the clinic. They caregivers are really friendly to anybody who is in the house. "

"My brother was on Home Health services with Family and we were so pleased with Nursing and Therapy. The nuse was so caring & Kind. She treated my brother as if he were a family member. She had such a big heart. If she was going to be even 15 minutes late she would call to let us know. They even provided a telehealth machine that gave all his vital information that was monitored by a nurse every day to let us know if something was off like his blood pressure, weight gain or oxygen levels. I would definitely refer Family Home Health to my family and Friends. The Therapist was so involved with his care and i could definitely see a change for the better with his strength. Thank you for all the great work you do! "

"My husband used Interim. We used the daily in-home health, and the CNA comes out and takes care of him. They came out four hours in the morning and four hours in the evening. They did light housework, bathing, dressing, and meals. The caregivers are absolutely wonderful and I was amazed. My husband was very comfortable. The billing was wonderful and I had no problems. They billed us once a week. It was way beyond what I ever expected. It was a godsend and a blessing to have them."

"I have a very good nurse from Avesena Home Health that would come in three or four times a week to take care of my legs. My legs are now getting better.

Their whole attitude, they're kindness, they're just wonderful people to meet and even spend time with. They work for us whenever we need them. They try to help to the best of their ability. I've been a stroke patient for four years and I still need more therapy. We've been working with them for well over a year now. "
