The senior citizen population is growing quickly because of the baby boomer generation, and many of this new generation of seniors are choosing to age in place instead of going to a retirement home or assisted living facility. Aging in place gives senior citizens more independence and control over their own lives, but they may still need some assistance. Daily tasks like cooking and basic housekeeping may become too difficult for some to manage, and others may need help with matters of personal hygiene as well. At Assisting Hands Home Care – Chicago, we can help senior citizens and adults with disabilities in Oak Brook, IL remain in their own homes with our in-home health care services.
Families provide care for elderly or disabled family members by hiring an independent caregiver directly, choosing a family member to be an informal caregiver, or working with a home care agency like Assisting Hands Home Care – Chicago to assign highly qualified caregivers. Hiring a direct caregiver or choosing a family member to provide care are the more cost-effective options, but there are added benefits to working with a care agency. The caregivers of Assisting Hands Home Care – Chicago are licensed, bonded, and insured which gives you more protection than with an independent caregiver, and we screen and train each of our caregivers to ensure that they provide excellent care services. We will also choose a caregiver who we believe will provide the best care and companionship for your family members.
We provide a range of in-home health care services for senior citizens and adults with disabilities in Oak Brook, IL that include the following:
