Assisting Hands Home Care offers a full range of in-home care services for seniors and adults with disabilities in Lemont, IL, and the surrounding areas of Cook County. Our highly trained staff will make sure that the needs of your loved one are fully met by creating a custom home care plan and assigning the right caregiver to fulfill those needs.

Today, most seniors and people with disabilities prefer to get care in the comfort of their own homes. This allows them to have more control as opposed to being in a facility such as a nursing home or assisted living where they have less control over their day. At times, family members of seniors and disabled individuals can provide care, however, once the care needs increase, they may not have the time or resources to provide them with the care they need. At that time, it is always best to reach out to a home care agency such as Assisting Hands to help with providing care for their loved one.

Can caregivers accompany my loved one to local places in Lemont?

My parent has more than one health issue. Can you still help?

Assisting Hands works with many seniors who are managing things like arthritis, diabetes, or memory loss. Our caregivers are trained to support clients with a variety of health challenges, and we’ll make sure the plan fits their unique situation.

Do you help with short-term care?

Yes, we offer flexible short-term care options. Whether it’s helping someone after surgery, providing temporary relief to family caregivers, or assisting during a time of recovery, we can provide exactly what’s needed for short-term care. We understand that not every care situation is long-term, and we’re here to help with whatever timeframe is necessary.

Are your caregivers trained to handle memory care?

Our caregivers are specially trained to work with seniors who have Alzheimer’s, dementia, or other cognitive impairments. They understand the nuances of memory loss and can provide engaging activities and emotional support to help your loved one maintain a sense of comfort and dignity. We also train our caregivers to respond appropriately to behavioral changes, providing a calm and reassuring presence.

Do you offer care for individuals with specialized needs, like cancer or stroke recovery?

Yes, we do. Many of our clients have specialized needs, whether they’re recovering from a stroke, undergoing cancer treatment, or managing a chronic illness. Our caregivers are trained to handle specific medical conditions and are well-versed in providing the necessary assistance for post-surgery recovery, cancer-related fatigue, stroke rehabilitation, and other specialized care. We collaborate closely with healthcare professionals to ensure that your loved one receives the best possible care during their recovery journey.

What’s the difference between live-in care and 24-hour care?

Live-in care is when a caregiver stays in the home with your loved one throughout the day and night. They will sleep at the home but remain available to provide assistance if needed during the night. On the other hand, 24-hour care means that two or more caregivers rotate shifts throughout the day and night, ensuring that your loved one always has someone awake and available to assist them. We provide both the options.

Can caregivers provide help with managing finances or paying bills?

While our caregivers focus on providing personal and companion care, we do not offer financial management services, such as managing finances or paying bills. However, if your loved one needs assistance in organizing bills or managing documents, our caregivers can help with light assistance. We can also suggest resources or recommend a financial advisor or specialist if managing finances is a major concern for your loved one.

Assistant Hands has went above and beyond their call of duty. Ms Ernestine is truly a gem. For over the past year and a half they have met the needs of my family to help with my grandmother.

I'm so grateful for the excellent quality of service Assisting Hands provided for my 84 year old mom who is a resident at Waterford Estates Senior Living Community. Michala was patient and professional in the conversations to determine the package that was best suited for my mom's needs. The caregivers went above and beyond with their attentive care for mom and their emotional support of her during a difficult time of transition in her living arrangements. I'm very grateful for Assisting Hands.
