Who Is In-Home Care For?

Home care from Homewatch CareGivers of Elmhurst is for anyone who wants to stay in their own home and needs a little help, or a lot of help, to do it safely. That includes seniors aging in place in Elmhurst, Lombard and Villa Park, adults recovering from surgery, illness or a hospital stay, people living with chronic conditions such as heart disease, diabetes or Parkinson's, individuals with dementia or memory loss, veterans, and adults with a brain or spinal cord injury. It is also for the family members who have been carrying the load alone and need a trained partner.

Problems Home Care Helps Solve

Families in the western suburbs call us when the everyday things have become hard. Bathing and dressing safely. Cooking real meals instead of skipping them. Remembering medications. Getting up the stairs, into the shower or out to the car for a doctor's appointment. Staying connected when driving is no longer an option and the days feel long and quiet. Managing the confusion and worry that come with cognitive decline. And the exhaustion of an adult child or spouse who has become a full-time caregiver without ever planning to. Home care addresses each of these at the level your family needs.
