Illness Recovery Support at Home
In-home help for seniors and adults recovering from an illness: meals, fluids, personal care, housekeeping and errands while you rest.
Being sick drains your energy, and recovering is harder when you're also trying to cook, keep the house going and run errands. Our illness recovery support brings a caregiver to your home so you or your loved one can rest.
We help seniors and adults with the everyday tasks that pile up during an illness, and we can start quickly, with same-day and short-notice options.
Who it helps: Seniors and adults recovering from the flu, an infection or another illness, and families who can't be with them all day.

Illness Recovery Support questions
What is illness recovery support?
Illness recovery support is non-medical in-home care while someone gets over an illness. A caregiver helps with meals, fluids, personal care, light housekeeping and errands so the person can rest.
How soon can a caregiver come?
We accept same-day and short-notice requests and respond as soon as possible. Call (847) 693-8669 as early as you can.
Can you pick up prescriptions and groceries?
Yes. Errands like pharmacy pickups and grocery shopping are part of our support, along with meals and light housekeeping.
What if my loved one gets worse while the caregiver is there?
In an emergency, the caregiver calls 911 first, then contacts the family and our office. For other changes, the caregiver lets the family know right away.
