Good Afternoon,

A little over eleven years ago I lost my dad to cancer. I didn’t know much about caring for anyone at that time but knew I had to learn quickly. I cared for my elderly dad until he passed away in 2004. It was then that I felt a need to continue to care for the elderly and continue to do this as a career.

I did private home care for an elderly woman for almost 7 years after the death of my father. Not long after caring for this woman, I had the misfortune of learning that my mother was diagnosed with cancer. I took care of my mom with my other siblings until she passed away about 4 months after her diagnosis.

I knew at that time that caring for the elderly was a passion growing inside of me. I knew than- that homecare for the elderly was to be my calling. I began applying to homecare providers to continue this field of work. Unfortunately, no company would hire me because I had been working as a private home care provider. A friend mentioned that she saw something on the internet about home care providers and I followed up on it. This is how I came to learn and apply to Home Care Assistance. HCA gave me the opportunity that I longed for. They took me in and what was to be a temporary position has turned into a little over 4 years (and counting). They gave me the proper training and extra tools to continue to do what I love.

HCA cares about their clients and their staff- making it a great place to work, as well as a happy environment for their clients. A happy employee gives great attention to detail and works harder to make everyone happy. HCA stresses the importance of the clients and how we should treat them as if they were our own family.

I appreciate the opportunity HCA gave me by opening their door and trusting/believing in me. I will forever be grateful- Thank you Home Care Assistance!!!

Regards,

Judy Rodriguez

A faithful and happy employee

I had a problem. My dad just had a stroke and I was just starting at a new job. I could not take off of work and my mother past a few months earlier. I did not know what to do. I had heard of live-in care but I did not know which company to use. I started to call around and right when I got off the phone with Home Care Assistance and knew that they were the right choice. Home Care in Chicago was great. They were with my dad at home and made him great meals. They took great care of him, better care than I could ever do. Thank You Home Care Assistance Chicago for taking such great care of my dad.

Home Care Assistance in Chicago helped my family. My dad has dementia and we all live out of state. I called Home Care Assistance Chicago because my mom was not sure it was the right choice. After getting off the phone with Home Care Assistance I knew that it was the right choice. My mom still wasn't sure. Then Home Care Assistance came to their house for a free consult and my mom was sold. She was so excited and could not even wait for the caregiver to start. Home Care Assistance in Chicago helped my mom and dad live the rest of their lives to the fullest.

When I first called Home Care Assistance in Chicago I knew nothing about the business. I had no idea what they did. After I got off the phone with them I knew that I made the right choice by calling. I knew that Home Care Assistance in Chicago was the right thing to do for my dad who had a stroke a few weeks earlier. He needed someone to take care of him and Home Care Assistance did that and more. I went to the office just to see how it looked and the people in the Home Care Assistance office on Green Bay Road are very friendly and nice. It made me feel even better about my choice of calling Home Care Assistance in Chicago.

Home Care Assistance in Chicago is the best of the business. Home Care Assistance Chicago has helped my family feel free again. I don't feel like I am tied down to my house. I trust their caregivers to stay at home with my mother, so that I can have some time to myself. My mother has Dementia and she is not allowed to be home alone. With Home Care Assistance I can feel safe leaving my mother so that I can take care of my own kids. I definitely recommend Home Care Assistance.

Home Care Assistance is amazing! I needed help with my mother and Home Care Assistance came to the rescue. They don't just send someone to the house to sit and watch TV. Their caregivers took my mother out for walks, to the mall, and made her gourmet healthy meals. They did above and beyond what I had imagined. I definitely recommend Home Care Assistance!!!
