New office creates more healthcare jobs in Chicago

Posted on January 3, 2013

The opening of a new Home Care facility is creating more healthcare jobs in Chicago.

Home Care Assistance, a provider of home healthcare services, has opened a new office in Hinsdale, Illinois.

According to a recent study, 89% of American seniors said they would prefer to live at home rather than a care facility. But many think nursing homes are their only option.

Caregivers from Home Care Assistance are trained in the Balanced Care Method and activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, grooming, meal preparation, medication reminders and light housekeeping. In addition, all Home Care Assistance caregivers drive, so they often take clients to their doctor appointments, to run errands and even on recreational outings.

Home Care Assistance has developed a guide to provide an overview of the challenges and resources associated with each step in the transition from hospital to home.

Home Care Assistance provides all home care needs, including: transportation, healthy meal preparation, companionship, socialization, activities, personal care, and medication reminders, along with dementia care services.
