A home health aide is a trained caregiver who helps with personal care at home, such as bathing, dressing, grooming and moving around safely. They work under the direction of a nurse. We serve the Chicago area, including DuPage, Cook, Lake, Kane, McHenry and Will counties.

Common reasons include trouble with bathing and dressing, getting out of bed or a chair, using the bathroom, and family members who cannot do all the daily care alone. These are examples, not a complete list.
A home health aide may be a fit if you are getting home health care and need hands-on help with daily tasks. Tap anything below that sounds like you or someone you love.
Medicare may cover home health aide visits when eligibility requirements are met, including a doctor’s or provider’s plan of care, a need for skilled care, and homebound status. Aides are usually added to a plan that includes skilled nursing or therapy. Medicare does not usually pay for 24-hour care.
