The 10 Best Home Care Agencies for Seniors in Fulton County, IL for 2025

"They provided excellent in home care for my dad, I am so thankful to have them. Caring, dependable, knowlegeable and trustworthy. My dad was able to be independent a lot longer thanks to the CNAs from Right at Home. I would use them again and would happily refer them to anyone needing home assistance. They cared for my dad, did light housekeeping, cleaning bathroom, laundry, taking out trash, giving meds and making sure he had the groceries and supplies he needed. Absolute God send!!"

"I am using Interim Healthcare of Peoria for my mom. She needs pretty much everything because she can't walk. She had a stroke. They are doing everything for her, like helping her get on the toilet, go to the bathroom, get her into bed, cook, clean, and help her bathe. They've been wonderful."

"I have multiple experiences with six local agencies (3 hospitals and 3 independents) over the course of eight years. Spoon River was the one who listened the best. None are perfect, but listening to the client, being receptive rather than defensive and an attitude of seeking solutions rather than explaining or blaming go a lot farther than lip service. In home care is largely dependent on accurate assessment, diagnosis, and appropriate personalities and skills to handle the task at hand. Spoon River brought all these into our house consistently, and whenever there was a concern, they were quick to resolve it, learn from it and stay the course. I'd have them back in a minute, and know I could depend on them listening, hearing and performing accordingly. It is so very important to communicate your thoughts, fears, concerns and needs. They listen! They performed services over a course of 9 months, everything from wound management, blood draws, smile deliveries, and prescription management/advice. "

"We have been using Visiting Angels. They're providing experienced caregivers, some of whom are CNAs, and others are not. The management has struggled to get us consistent people to staff the shift, but after three months they've gotten it done. So, I applaud their efforts to do that. It probably took all of two months to get consistent staffing. What we're using them for is help with mobility, supporting my father when he has to walk to the bathroom, helping him get up in the morning, helping him get ready for bed at night, helping my stepmother, and also helping with occasional snacks for him; no real medical care. I think it's $28.50 an hour. It is expensive, so there's no question about it. If we didn't have the VA, we would have to find some caregivers. I have found caregivers for $10 an hour, CNAs that would be happy to come in, but I've left it with Visiting Angels because the VA is covering it. And having it with Visiting Angels, their people manage schedules, they handle all the invoicing to the VA, and they handle all the details."

"It's been about a 2-month period. So far Helping Hands has been good. They assigned us a young man and he gets along with my father well. He's there three days a week from noon till about 4:00. He does different things around the house and he also drives, so they're getting along quite well. They seem to hit it off right away. "

"Right now, Help at Home is providing a person to come over and help my dad with his medication, making sure that he takes his medications. That person also fixes breakfast and light lunch for my dad. We also have someone coming in in the evening to help with dinner and make sure my dad takes his evening meds. They also have a person that has a vehicle that can take him to appointments when we can't go with him. So they also take him to doctor's appointments. They also help with assistance in bathing him, getting him dressed, and helping him clean up the house. They do the chores that he can't do like washing dishes, laundry, mopping the floor, keeping the bathroom and kitchen, and everything is clean. Their coordinator who makes sure that they send the right people out and match them up to the person is pretty accurate and very helpful. We've been fortunate because we haven't had too many staffing issues. There's one person that I wouldn't recommend, and I spoke to the coordinator about her because she called off too many times when my dad needed assistance. So the coordinator agreed with me that that person wasn't a good fit because she wasn't reliable, and we needed that reliable person. So, she took care of the situation and got a replacement."
