Chicago Home Care Agency for Seniors and Families

We provide care wherever home may be. In addition to providing care in private homes, we also provide supplemental care in rehab facilities, independent living, assisted living, and skilled nursing communities.

What Our Caregivers Help With

Our senior home care in Chicago supports older adults with the daily activities that make staying in their own homes possible. Every client begins with a personalized care plan built around their care needs, and a caregiver is then strategically selected based on those needs.

For families managing memory loss, our in-home dementia care and Alzheimer's care focus on safety, routine, and quality of life. We also provide respite support for family caregivers who need a break, along with companion care for connection and daily engagement.

As a private-pay home care agency serving the Chicagoland area, we offer flexible hourly care and long-term support, with ongoing care management so the plan adapts as needs change. Every caregiver is chosen for compassionate, reliable care in the comfort of home.

Why Families Trust Our Caregivers

Inviting a caregiver into your loved one’s home is a decision built on trust, so we are careful about who joins our team. Every Private Home Care caregiver is thoroughly screened before they ever step into a client’s home:

  • Background checked and reference verified, so you know exactly who is caring for your loved one.
  • Interviewed and selected for reliability, compassion, and professionalism, not just availability.
  • Carefully matched to each client’s personality, routine, and care needs for a consistent, lasting fit.
  • Supported by ongoing training in personal care, home safety, and conditions like dementia, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s.
  • Overseen by a dedicated care coordinator who stays in regular contact with your family and adjusts the care plan as needs change.

With years of experience serving Chicago-area families, our goal is simple: dependable, compassionate care from a caregiver you can trust, in the comfort of home.

Frequently Asked Questions About Home Care in Chicago

How do I start home care services for a senior in Chicago?

Getting started is simple. Contact Private Home Care for a complimentary in-home assessment. A care coordinator meets with your family, learns about your loved one's needs, and builds a personalized care plan. We then match your loved one with a consistent caregiver, usually within a few days.

Are home care services in Chicago covered by insurance or Medicare?

Medicare generally does not cover non-medical home care, only skilled, medical home health under specific conditions. Non-medical home care is usually private-pay, though long-term care insurance, certain Medicaid waivers, and VA benefits may help cover costs. We are happy to talk through your options during your assessment.

How do I choose the best home care agency in Chicago for my loved one?

Look for an agency that screens and trains its caregivers, provides consistent one-to-one care rather than rotating staff, builds a personalized care plan, and stays in regular contact with your family. Ask about experience, caregiver background checks, and how they handle changes in care needs.
