"My parents are using Home Instead Senior Care-Northbrook. We are able to get a caregiver from them for just a week who does light cooking, light housekeeping, and takes care of my parents. They come on time. If somebody cancels, the agency works hard to match the right caregiver to my parents, and they do a good job. They are very caring and find people who really care about my parents. They are serious and treat my parents very well. "

"My parents are using North Shore Compassionate Care. The caregivers are very good, attentive, caring, and conscientious. We chose them because of their flexibility with hours, because it's a smaller company, and their accessibility of reaching people. They pay their workers a little more."

"I heard Home Helpers had a good reputation, so I told my mother about them and she hired them. Her friend had Alzheimer's and needed 24/7 care. They provided good people and good health care. They were living in the house with my mom's friend. They would do the cleaning, cooking and some light house keeping. Looking after him and make sure he got his medication. He couldn't be left alone so they also watch him over at night. It's practically round the clock care. We always felt very comfortable with them being there. We were very happy with their service. They were great. "

"I am using ComForCare Home Care - Park Ridge IL. The service has been good, but I've only used them twice. They require a minimum of two hours a day. They provide light housekeeping and run some errands, that type of thing. I'm pleased with it. I'm glad that I've hired them. They're sending out qualified people, and they do their jobs well."

"The skilled nurse and care givers they provided were wonderful. They were vigilant and helpful with my very sick best friend and as POA, I was looking for round the clock care. Broad street went above and beyond to deliver that care with little advance notice. My friend could no longer stay at home, but these people call to ask how she's doing all the time."

"My mother had vertigo that required hospitalization. After leaving the hospital, she needed 24 hour care (two 12 hour shifts) until she did better. My mother wants to be independent, but we needed someone to be there until she got better and gets checked out by the her primary care doctor. In doing so, we greatly appreciated the diligent care given to my mother by Right at Home North Suburban Chicago. All who have come have done a good job. The 24 hour care was very successful. We will leave it up to my mother as far as how much help she needs going forward (and give her space to decide whether she wants to be alone), but we know that RAH is available to help us to do what we can to support her."

From the very beginning, we wanted to keep things simple. We wanted to provide the most personalized service available, so our clients could stay at home comfortably for as long as they choose. After taking a look at how home care was structured both at home and around the world, we found one resounding theme among home care recipients: people want consistency and customization. For this reason, we implemented our One-Client One-Caregiver Concept and assigned each client to their own Care Coordinator. We went a step further by keeping case loads for Care Coordinators as small as possible, so that they have ample time to get to know all of their clients. In line with our mission to provide the highest degree of personalization, all of our Care Coordinator are available to clients, their families, and caregivers 24/7. They manage and update each client’s ever-changing care plan, communicate with caregivers, and make home visits as frequently as ne cessary. Our One-Client One-Caregiver Concept is an extension of our emphasis on customization and consistency. After an initial assessment and caregiver placement, we focus on keeping the same caregiver or team of caregivers in place. In this manner, the same, knowledgeable staff is ever-present and random caregivers are never sent. Should there ever be a change in the regular caregivers for any reason, the Care Coordinator or Primary Caregiver will personally introduce the new caregiver to the client. Our client’s comfort is our top priority and we believe home care should not be characterized by a revolving door of providers.

"I found this company via a Google search when I was looking for help for home with mom. They had good reviews so I figured I'd give it a try. From the moment I sent a request for info online, this company was responsive and attentive. They contacted me in under 24 hours, followed up when they said they would, if anything changed with appointment times or anything else...they notified me immediately. Nevena, the care planning manager was awesome. She came to our home to meet the family. She was respectful, knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable in knowing that mom would be safe in their care. Nevena knows her job, provided answers to our questions and made us feel at ease. In a time when customer service is lacking and there are many choices in companies, I would recommend Home instead to anyone looking for help with their loved ones at home. Thank you Nevena and Home Instead Senior Care!"

"We were a client of All Help Health Services. I had no problem with them. It is just the industry overall. They're short-staffed because people come, and they leave. It's just the state that we're in. They were all competent, experienced, and compatible with caring for my mom. Their billing needs to be updated. Scheduling was fine but their billing was not ideal at all. They provided us with basic home care, and it was a positive experience. The owner and the office manager were very responsive. They always came out for an interview with potential candidates. They just need to update and automate their billing to make it online. They just do it via U.S. mail and that's not cool."

I would like the caregivers to know how to use the Hoyer lift. Overall, the caregivers are decent. I would like the caregivers to do exercises with Edward and converse more with him.
