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

"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."

"I fell and broke my ankle. My caregiver Summer was the best thing that happened to me while I was recovering. Even the owner Jen would call and check in on me. They treated me like family."

"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."

"My social worker told me about Circle of Life in Peoria. Their care is very good. I have not been with them very long so we're still getting acquainted. You have to look at them for their vantage point for the patient and they are patient oriented. And I know the one taking care of me now will fall through if the need comes up. The manager is wonderful and that's very important, that they listen to your needs. If a change needs to be made, they don't drill you or give you a hard time. They accept you with a lot of respect and they're very kind. That's my experience with them so far and I've only been with them a couple of months. I would recommend this to everyone. "

"The caregivers that Snyder Village Home Care sent to our home were just great. We were happy with them. They would fix my father-in-law's breakfast and lunch, they would bathe him twice a week, and just kept him company. I didn't have them do housework or anything, but I think that when you hire them, they're available to do that for someone, we didn't need that in our situation though. We had three different caregivers and they were very prompt. They would leave a note each day and let us know what had happened throughout the day. They were actually in our home three days a week. The money we paid was all worth it for someone to come in and care for him. We didn't even use them to the full extent, but they did some housework and laundry and kept asking if there was anything else that they could do. So, I would recommend them."

"Good in everything she does for me! She also builds up my morale! Cleaning is great since I have a right hand that I can't use also the right arm. "

"Called and got the exact help I needed from Lanasia! She was very thorough with her explanations of care and questions. She got me set up with a Care Assistant quickly and explained the services they provide. Definitely going with Synergy for Long Term Care and services because of her!"

"OSF Home Care Services was what was prescribed for my mom by her doctor. My mom was very pleased with the quality care they've given her. I was really disappointed that they tried to discharge her and did a couple of times. I still have a problem with that. She's ninety-two. They should improve on calling especially if they're coming in the next day. "

"I needed short term care for my Dad and they were fantastic. The manager came out within the hour and our care started the same day. It was the best decision my brother and I have ever made. We were able to spend time with my Dad without being stressed. "

"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. "
