For seniors and adults, the ability to perform activities for daily living (ADL’s) is crucial for remaining independent at home. Recognizing this need for personal care services can be challenging, especially when accepting assistance might feel like a threat to independence. At Home Helpers, our trained personal care assistant professionals provide these vital personal care services with the utmost respect and courtesy. They help your loved ones complete daily tasks, ensuring they maintain dignity while embracing essential support tailored to their needs.
Daily hygiene routines play a critical role in reducing the risk of illness and promoting mental health. Our personal care assistant specialists assist in activities such as brushing teeth, bathing, and bathrooming, whether that means escorting a client to the bathroom or offering assistance while they remain in bed. Home Helpers is dedicated to making every experience as comfortable and safe as possible. By focusing on preserving your loved one’s dignity, a personal care assistant helps maintain strong, positive relationships within the family and keeps the client in control of their own care.
Movement is a vital aspect of a senior’s health, as it improves blood flow, reduces muscle stiffness, and minimizes the risk of falls. A personal care assistant can support mobility by helping seniors move from room to room, accompanying them on gentle walks, and providing assistance in navigating tricky areas like stairs. Their guidance helps preserve independence and enables seniors to continue enjoying the activities they love. By offering recommendations on how to best set up the home, a personal care assistant ensures that personal care services are aligned with each client’s unique mobility needs.
Home Helpers also offers innovative Direct Link® monitoring services designed to detect falls and automatically contact emergency services when necessary. This advanced support system ensures swift assistance and peace of mind for both seniors and their families. Our personal care assistant integrates this technology to further enhance the effectiveness of personal care services in providing a secure living environment.

Read MoreMy Dad was really against a caregiver – “Why do I need a caregiver I’m only 88?” he would ask. We knew he was having difficulty with many issues and finally worked with Tom and Joy from Home Helpers of Northeastern Illinois to get him to give it a try. We started out as a few hours a week and it’s now evolved into 24 hour care. Thank God we found Home Helpers! The caregivers are the nicest people and have that ability to put my dad at ease while still performing professionally. Tom and Joy have stayed on top of my dad’s situation and despite his challenges; he’s still at home where he wants to be. Of course, my Dad recently told his Doctor “Why do I need a cane I’m only 90?” - Some things never change!
Read MoreI heard Home Helpers had a good reputation, so I told my mother about them and she hired them. Her friend had Alzheimer’s and needed 24/7 care. They provided good people and good health care. They were living in the house with my mom’s friend. They would do the cleaning, cooking and some light housekeeping. Looking after him and make sure he got his medication. He couldn’t be left alone so they also watch him over at night. It’s practically round the clock care. We always felt very comfortable with them being there. We were very happy with their service. They were great.
Read MoreMy wife and I were facing those life challenges that no one expects. Last spring Doris was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. I thought I could handle her care on my own. After a few months, my own health started to go downhill and we decided to hire a caregiver. Tom and Joy came out to meet us and left us reassured that life would be easier with their help. After using their services for the past three months, I do not know how we would go on without their guidance and especially their caregivers. Instead of being a caregiver for my wife, I am again her husband. While life still has its ups and downs we have a wonderful support system with Home Helpers.
Read MoreThanks to Tom and Joy at Home Helpers, my 85 year old father has had safe and reliable transportation and companionship on his recent doctor’s appointments. Thanks also to Regina, his "driver"/caregiver, for all the kind attention and patience she has given to Dad. While he initially resisted being helped, he now looks forward to the companionship. My brother and I are glad that he is not going to the appointments alone."
Read MoreOutstanding! Home Helpers took wonderful care of my 88 year aunt upon her return home after being hospitalized for a long period of time. Mary and Moren were her overnight caretakers. They were so loving, caring and professional and were instrumental in helping my Aunt make a smooth transition back to her home. I was able to sleep at night knowing that my loved one was so well cared for during the night. I highly recommend Home Helpers. If I could give them 10 stars I certainly would. Thank you Tom, Mary,Moen & Xavier
