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

"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. "

"I have been using Compassionate Care Services - Rockford, IL for three weeks now. They are very good. They're doing some personal care, laundry, and companionship for my mom. She's in a facility where she gets some supportive services, but I have Compassionate Care basically as a supplement. They come in for three hours a day and two days a week. The first caregiver didn't work out, but the second one could be a good choice. The management has been great."

"I am using Help at Home and it's very fine. I have a very, very good caregiver. I have 20 hours and she works with me all week except for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. She does light housekeeping, we go to the groceries, doctors' appointments, and shopping. I've had them since about five years, and four of them is with my current health caregiver. She is a great person. She is very caring. You can never get through on the phone with them though, but one time my caregiver had a day off, and they wanted to know if I was OK. And my gosh, I had a lot of people that day here, so I had some help as well."
