"The caregivers from Addus Healthcare were very responsive to my mom's needs. They monitored her well, they did what we asked them to do, and they treated her with respect and kindness. They did a great job. It's just that mom didn't think she needed it, so we cancelled. "

"R. Angell's Homecare provided daily care to my husband. He had a number of strokes so he needed total care. We needed to get him out of bed with equipment because he couldn't do any for himself. We had to care for him, feed him, dress him, take him for walks in a wheelchair, transport him by the wheelchair van to doctor's appointments and things like that. Rhonda was our main helper. She came daily, five days a week. Billing and scheduling was always very good. The billing was straightforward. We knew ahead of time what the fee was and so that was fine with us. Rhonda was always available. She was always willing to help us in our own scheduling so we knew we would have someone here helping take care of my husband. I chose R. Angell's because I was familiar with Rhonda's help. She has helped us once in the past. When she was available again and we needed help, I called her first thing because she is so great. She really knows her business and knows what she's doing. She gives excellent care. She's very observant of what's going on, gives good suggestions and works well with the family and is very good with the client/the patient. Rhonda helped us for two years. It was long term commitment. We have a good experience and a good time to evaluate. As soon as I saw her competent and her ability to take care of what the issue was, I knew she would be a good person to have. She was VERY professional, reliable, comes on time and highly skilled. We were very happy."

"The caregivers from ResCare HomeCare would accompany me to doctors' appointments. They are friendly. They always come promptly like they're supposed to, but they need to hire smarter people. I have my things all arranged so it is convenient for me to access it, but a caregiver comes in and re-arranges it to suit herself."

Given the high cost of in-home care, many people use one or more forms of financial assistance to cover the expenses. Below, we explain some of the most common sources of financial help for paying for in-home care. If none of these options are available to you, you can reach out to your Area Agency on Aging or Aging and Disability Resource Center to learn about local resources.
Seniors in Urbana have access to several local agencies and programs that provide in-home assistance, home-delivered meals and recreational opportunities. The following table includes contact information for resources, such as the local senior center and the Area Agency on Aging, and can help seniors find services to supplement paid in-home care.

Aging can be a difficult process, and loved ones may not always ask for help – often times it’s up to their family to evaluate their need for help around the house. While no two situations are exactly alike, this checklist can help you and your loved ones determine when it’s time to start the search for a home care provider.
If you’ve determined that your loved one needs the assistance of a care provider in their home, it may be time for a difficult conversation. Handled correctly, however, this process can bring a family together and ensure that everyone’s concerns are addressed. Use this PDF as a starting point to help the conversation stay as positive and productive as possible.
