Optimum Senior Care in Palatine, IL
4.2

I'm not there all the time to see the interaction between the agency and my Dad but from what I've seen so far i am very pleased. The agency definitely found the perfect caregiver for my Dad and she is really good and what she does. I am pleased overall and would recommend them if needed.

Amazing Care in Lisle, IL
5.0

They were good, they were friendly, and we had some consistency of caregivers, so there weren't always different people coming out. The staff was knowledgable and responsive. There isn't anything we would have done differently or had improved. This was in home hospice so cleanliness and activities don't apply.

Assisting Hands Home Care of Naperville, IL
5.0

They seem to be doing everything well. We have had a couple of miscommunications but they have been resolved. We have had a pretty consistent caregiver. We have never had trouble with people not showing up. It would be nice if we could meet a caregiver before they start coming out.
