The 10 Best Home Health Agencies for Seniors in Oak Lawn, IL for 2025

"My mom moved in with me after suffering a severe stroke and no longer being able to live independently. Interim Home Health Care was recommended to me by a social worker assigned to helping us with the transition. The day after my mom moved in, a social worker from Interim Home Health Care, March, was sent to my home. March was great. I'd already been introduced to many social workers and had lots of services recommended to me. However, March was different. March took it upon herself to contact these services for us and gave recommendations that saved us a lot of money. She knows what resources are out there and she will do anything to help you get them. Interim Home Health Care also provided a Physical Therapist and a nurse for my mom. The nurse assigned to us was Mary Catherine and she too was wonderful! She is very knowledgeable on nutrition and her caring, patient personality was one we looked forward to. The Physical Therapist, Howard, was also wonderful. When my mom arrived to my home, she was not able to walk or even stand on her own. Howard's patience and expertise got my mom's legs strong enough to stand, walk with a cane, and even go up stairs! He got her to a point that made our situation easier and safer. We love Interim Home Health care and would recommend them to anyone. "

"Very caring especially my Nurse... Office staff are respectful and accommodating... "

"There was a nurse that came in from Parker Cromwell once a week and a therapist twice a week. The therapy was really good. My mother had a lot of improvement. We used them for about a year; the last time was about two years ago. "

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

"I tried to refer a patient who needed home health care services however the whole experience was terrible! The person answering the phone was rude to begin with she told me to send fax over referral then they would call me back. I never received a call so I called them the next day to ask if they had sent someone out to see our patient but Ms Ryan answered and told me no to re fax referral then she said no they could not service my patients area and hung up on me. Very rude! I would never think to ever use their services again! "

"Home health services provided to my mother were amazing! Communication was on-going, staff arrived on time. Caring and knowledgeable staff that did a great job getting my mom back on her feet. Highly recommend their services. "

"The nurses really care about how the patients are doing, that was my biggest like because these days everyone is such in a rush. "

"My wife was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and I have PSP (progressive supranuclear palsy). We have Amedisys serving my wife and they’re great. They have a nurse coming in to change her foley catheter on a monthly basis. They are very good and are on time. My wife is very happy with them. It is definitely a positive experience. We’ve been a client for more than 5 years. They are truly professional, highly efficient in the healthcare department, and reliable most of all. Their staff is knowledgeable of the very difficult situation and have good attitudes. They’re the right people and good people to us. They are a good match for what my wife needs. "

"Ashley M. has demonstrated the willingness and ability to do a great job. She's been bubly and thorough with the tasks I need help with. She's definitely a valuable employee by my standards. Thanks so much. "

"My experience with BrightStar Chicago has been amazing (and comforting). As I was trying to establish in-home care for my mother, BrightStar was attentive and engaging from the very first phone call! Linda K. spoke to me and explained their services and the start-up process in detail. I had so many questions, but she was patient, professional, and compassionate about the situation. She even provided information that I didn't even know (or think) to ask. Once our services started, we were paired with Cora P. to provide the in-home care. Cora has been such a blessing and takes care of my mom with understanding and a genuine kindness. She always keeps me in the loop on things I need to know about my mom's day and her physical/emotional status. She also cooks very well!! :-) Whenever Cora needs to be away, BrightStar always gives us advanced notice and offers to have someone come to provide continued support. Additionally, whenever I have questions or need to speak to someone, the entire management/administrative team is easily accessible and helpful. I am grateful for how they treat us as "people" not just another "case or customer". I highly recommend them!"

"My mother is 77 years old who had about 12 brain surgeries. She was fine for years, but after the last two she had in December she can't walk and she's in diapers now. We worked with OMNI for two months after she came out of the nursing home. They sent two different guys, Chris, a physical therapist and Kingsley an occupational therapist. The nurse, Val, would come in and check mom's vitals while Sheila, the CNA, would help me with bathing mom twice a week. They were wonderful. I bought them Christmas presents because they were starting to become part of my family. They were perfect. "

"We have used Alternative Home Health for two months for our parents, but we're still having language issues with the caregivers. There are two caregivers, one who is very good and trying to learn how to cook; unfortunately, he's only there three days a week. The other one we're trying to replace because she can't cook, and her language skills are atrocious. She helped with my father quite a bit, but we need somebody to follow Dad around, like a babysitter, and help him with his bathroom needs and dress him. My mom needs help in the shower and with cooking. I think the cost is expensive. They live there 24/7, and we're housing and feeding them. They're one of the least expensive ones out there."

"Gateway Health Systems is excellent. I love it. The nurse comes to see my mother and my husband. My mother was crazy about the nurse. She's here every week, does her blood pressure and she goes an extra mile. I would certainly recommend them. "

"The name of the home care is Larlin Health Care. It's probably been going on for maybe two years now. The caregiver is very good and tolerant. She does care a lot, and my mother-in-law likes her. My mom is a very difficult person to deal with because she has dementia. But this caregiver just goes with the flow and just goes with her mood which is very good. "
