There are more than 5,000 seniors living in Batavia, and most of them share one common goal; staying in the home they know. Whether your loved one has spent decades in a neighborhood like Mill Creek, Clover Hills, or Northeast Batavia near the Riverwalk, or has lived near Batavia’s historic downtown for most of their life, leaving home is rarely what they want. And it doesn’t have to be.
Nearly a third of Batavia’s seniors live alone. For many families, providing daily care isn’t always possible. Work schedules, distance, and the demands of raising a family can make it difficult to be there as consistently as everyone would like. That’s a reality a lot of Batavia families face, and it’s exactly the gap that professional home care is designed to fill.
Assisting Hands Home Care provides professional, compassionate in-home care services throughout Batavia, IL and the surrounding communities. Our team meets with your loved one in their home, takes the time to understand their needs, and builds a personalized care plan around their daily life. Every caregiver we place is thoroughly vetted, bonded, insured, and trained in CPR and First Aid.
What Our Batavia Home Care Services Include
Our in home care services can be personalized to cover a range of care needs for senior citizens and adults with disabilities. Your home care plan may include the following:
- Companionship: It is common for seniors and adults with disabilities who spend a lot of time at home to feel lonely. Our caregivers will act as social companions for your loved ones, engaging them in conversation and fun activities to build a personal relationship.
- Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care: If you have loved ones suffering from Alzheimer’s or dementia, then you know they need special assistance. Our caregivers are trained to care for those affected by these diseases and we can even help slow memory loss with certain mentally engaging activities.
- Respite Care: In cases in which someone receives care from a family member, they may still need assistance to give the caregiver some time off. We provide respite care services to give family caregivers scheduled time off and resume care seamlessly in their absence.
- Live-In/ 24-Hour Care: If your loved one needs someone nearby at all times, we can help cover the day and night with our live-in and 24-hour care services. With our live-in care services, a caregiver will live in the home but need time to sleep at night. With our 24-hour care services, there will always be a caregiver present, awake, and alert.
- Overnight Care: We provide overnight care services for those who cannot be left alone at night. With these services, our caregiver will arrive in the evening and stay awake throughout the night to provide assistance or respond to emergencies.
- Post-Operative Care: Recovering from surgery is difficult and a setback can greatly increase the recovery time. Our caregivers can help those who have recently had surgery by monitoring their condition and keeping them comfortable so they can make a full recovery.
- Care Management: We will help coordinate the care of your loved ones by creating a care plan and schedule that accounts for family caregivers as well as doctor visits. We will also help manage medication.
- Personal Care and Grooming: We can help those who have difficulty with their personal hygiene by providing assistance with restroom use, getting dressed, and bathing.
- Meal Preparation: If your loved ones cannot cook for themselves, we will prepare meals each day to ensure they are eating enough. We will also handle the cleanup afterwards.
- Errands and Transportation: Our caregivers are ready to provide rides to those who cannot drive and take care of important errands. We will make sure your loved ones get to their doctor appointments and that their errands like grocery shopping are taken care of.
- Light Housekeeping: Cleaning the home can be very difficult for those with physical limitations. We will take care of light housekeeping duties like dusting and vacuuming to keep the home clean.
Once our Assisting Hands Home Care representatives form a care plan for your loved ones, we will assign a caregiver who we think will be a good fit. If the primary caregiver cannot make it one day, we will always have another caregiver ready to step in. We make sure our care plans are flexible so they can change as your loved one’s care needs change.
How Does Our In Home Consultation Work
Most families come to us unsure of where to start, and that is completely normal. When you reach out to Assisting Hands Home Care, the first step is a simple conversation. We listen to what is going on, ask a few questions, and get a clear picture of what your loved one needs. From there, we schedule an in-home consultation where we meet with your family in person, see the living environment firsthand, and put together a care plan that is built around your loved one’s routine, preferences, and health needs. Once the plan is in place, we match a caregiver based on fit, not just availability, and we stay closely involved from that point forward. If anything changes, we adjust quickly. We have written a detailed guide walking Batavia families through exactly what the consultation process looks like from start to finish if you would like to know more before making a call.

Batavia Home Care FAQs
How quickly can care start after I call Assisting Hands in Batavia?
We begin care within 24-48 hours of your first call.
We understand that families often reach out during an urgent situation such as after a hospital discharge, a fall, or a sudden change in a loved one’s condition. Call us at (630) 948-8193 and tell us what is going on. We will handle the rest.

How much does home care cost in Batavia, IL?
Home care in Batavia typically runs between $25 and $35 per hour depending on the level of care needed and how many hours per week are scheduled. Overnight care and live in care are priced differently since those involve a caregiver being present for an extended stretch rather than a standard hourly visit.
For context, a senior who needs a caregiver for four hours a day five days a week would typically be looking at somewhere between $2,000 and $2,800 per month in the Batavia area.
Are there senior resources in Batavia that work alongside home care?
Yes and we encourage families to use them. Batavia has the Batavia Park District which runs senior programming, and Kane County connects residents to services through their senior services network. Many of our clients participate in local senior activities and we schedule care around those commitments. Assisting Hands Home Care has a good association with Batavia Park District and we sponsor many events that are hosted there.
