The 5 Best Home Care Agencies for Seniors in Winnebago, IL for 2025

"They strive to provide consistency in caregiver coverage. Staff actually knows you & your needs.. Attentive scheduling without mistakes, very helpful in emergency or last minute needs of family. We mostly used them for overnight coverage . They employ caring & well trained caregivers who arrive consistently! They will log ADLs in your notebook as you request."

"My caregivers are phenomenal. They go above and beyond for me. The management team at Heal to Thrive gave me great rates so I can stay home for an unheard of price with my own personalized CNA. I hated the nursing home and my family couldn’t have picked a better agency!"

"So far, Taking Care Of Our Seniors has been wonderful. The caregivers are great, here 24/7, and perform well. I have two girls who alternate. They're really friendly, and my husband seems to appreciate them. They've given me a chance to rest and do my thing. "

"We have people coming in from Visiting Angels twice for eight-hour shifts everyday, and that's working out at the moment. It's a very positive relationship that developed between my mother, and the two different caregivers. They do take her on errands, drive her to her appointments, they do prepare her food, they go to the market together and shop. They help her with some of the housecleaning when she needs help or things that are a little bit more than she could do, and just giving her company. They are very dependable, very kind, and very caring. "

"We are using Community Care right now. They are not doing a good job; not one that I’m satisfied with, at least. My mother needs care four days a week, and they send someone three days a week. On the fourth day, she is left alone. I am not pleased with that. I am actively looking for another agency in the area. Their scheduling isn’t good, but their billing is OK. She gets her bill paid through Medicaid. The quality of the people they are sending is not that good. They supply her with someone for about five hours, four days a week. She has early Alzheimer’s, so they are there to make her food, do her laundry, clean her house, take her where she needs to go, and help her shower. The couple of people who they sent have been OK. They sent a young man out and my mother said that he was very good. He went into the basement and did the laundry and folded it and she thought that was really nice. I talked to a couple of the ladies on the phone who told us what they were not going to do. They weren't asked to do anything out of the ordinary, but she asked one of the ladies to vacuum the stairs and she said she was not going to do that because she thought that was dangerous."

"A friend who has worked with Comfort Keepers recommended them. I interviewed them, and we have been very happy. My mother-in-law has help coming in for a couple of days a week. That's working out for what she needs right now. I was impressed with the background check, the things they do for their workers, and the training they provide them. Their workers are very friendly and cheerful, since Mom has been dealing with depression. They've been very encouraging to her. They also tried to match a person to her. My mother-in-law is very religious and they tried to take that into account. A couple of women who came seemed to share it with her because you could tell that they are Christians. They would comment on things to her, and it made her feel comfortable. She had basically the same person for quite a while before the person left the agency. For now she has a new young girl who is very sweet and is a hard worker. If Mom asks her to do things this way, she accommodates it. Mom is actually doing better now. "
