The 10 Best Home Health Agencies for Seniors in East Chicago, IN for 2025

"Tremendous! Maryanne and Lynette are such good nurses to work with. They have eased our workload, and taken a lot of stress off of our minds because they provide so much that we would have had to do ourselves. The staff is very courteous and helpful to us. Karen and Cathy are such a help. We think the world of Eric, and he has been a Godsend to the two of us. We would recommend Adiel to anyone who needs care without a doubt! "

"We used Compassion Home Care of Illinois for my mom post hip replacement surgery. Compassion Home Care of Illinois replaced a company that could not provide reliable care coverage, and they really stepped up to the plate! I called them the day before a holiday weekend, in the evening, and at 11AM the next morning we had replacement care givers. We had the same two care givers the entire time we used their service, and they could not have been nicer or more caring. They put the other agency to shame with the amount of work they did with and for mom in the short time they were there – they never slowed down! I can highly recommend Compassion Home Care of Illinois for anyone needing live-in care. We will definitely reach out to them again if we need more assistance. "

"We used Option Healthcare for over a month, but it did not work for us; a lot of the time, they didn't have anyone available. They kept my mother clean, and my mother was comfortable with the caregivers, but the availability was poor; maybe they don't have enough people. There were certain times that we needed, and they had to find someone to come out. We need something concrete. There was one problem with the billing with them. We had sent them a check, but it was lost and we had a big problem with that. We mailed the check, and they didn't get it, so they pretty much said to us we will discontinue the service because they didn't get the check, which is sad. "

"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. "

"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. "

"wonderful staff!!!! "

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

"We hired the services of Anchor Home Health Care for my father because my cousin also used them. My dad used them a couple of times a week while he was on chemotherapy. He also had physical therapy with the agency. I wish they improved their customer relations which included answering the phone and making follow-ups. "

"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! "

"When we were looking around for an assisted living for my grandmother after we found out that she had alzheimer's, we took a look at Little Mary's. We really liked, as did my grandmother. The staff were friendly and happily answered our questions. My grandmother really like the people since the really made her feel like family. The unfortunate part was that they are still rather small and while my grandmother was willing to live at home with a care provider, since their home base was so nearby, the lack of the medical facilities she might need caused us to look elsewhere. The staff was friendly and competent though, and if the conditions had been different, my grandmother would have happily worked with them. "

"I have had a caregiver through the Emily Agency for several months now and so far I am very pleased with their services. I am my mother's primary caregiver, however, work full-time during the day, so I needed someone I can trust to take care of my mother. I feel that this agency has caregivers you can trust to not only do the job, but provide a sense of companionship for my mom. I am very particular about who cares for my mom and expressed that to Harriet from the agency and I feel that she took my needs/concerns as well as my mom's into consideration when assigning caregivers for my mom. My mom has dementia and is very forgetful so the caregiver is great at reminding my mom when to take her medication, help prepare and serve meals, and assists with toileting needs. Thus far, this agency is reliable and I would recommend their services to others in need of elderly care. "

"The PT and OT were excellent, they were professional, gave me their time during treatment and got me back on my feet!"

"I have been using Medcare Home Health maybe for two years now. My primary care physician recommended this home health care. The reason I opted for them is that my doctor works with them directly. They're very supportive of what I need and want. That's what I like about them. They don't make all the decisions in closed room where I'm not part of it. All the decisions they make are with my input and they pretty much respond to my inputs. I have an RN once a week, a CNA twice a week and physical therapy two times a week. I can also have occupational therapy after physical therapy. They also gave me a very good folder with a lot of relevant information and a toll-free number where I could call if I'm dissatisfied or have any questions or complaints. "
