Very professional, and helpful. Cindy K. did a great job of helping my Mom move from a very poor assisted living situation to one where she can be happy. Cindy took the time to assess my Mom’s situation, and then made placement recommendations based on what my Mom and her family needed.
Based on assessment data, Cindy found four AL vendors for Mom to visit. Cindy setup the appts, and attended the tours with Mom and family. She made sure that what she exposed Mom to was within her ability to pay, and were places with good reputations for care/services.
Once Mom chose a vendor, Cindy kept tabs on the process and even followed up after Mom was moved into her new home.

Aurora Home Care Resources
Home care services are only one of the pieces needed for seniors to gracefully age in place. There are many services and programs that are low-cost or free, that enable seniors to enjoy an independent lifestyle in the comfort of their own home, such as help with home modifications, meal delivery services, and more. Below, we’ve compiled a few of the most helpful resources in Aurora:
Seniors’ Resource Center

It’s also open to elderly people with dementia.

Volunteer helpers arrive to change linens, clean ovens, clean windows or floors and perform other home cleaning tasks. Elders who apply must be 60 or older and meet income guidelines to be eligible. Chore services for outdoor yard work and major external home cleaning are also offered.
