Assisting Hands Home Care can help senior citizens who want to spend their golden years at home with our elder care services in Alsip, IL.  We create personalized care plans based on our evaluation of your loved one’s needs and our caregivers will provide quality, compassionate care.

Choosing to age in place after retirement provides seniors with a more independent lifestyle while allowing them to remain in the familiar environment of their home.  In some cases, seniors who age in place can get some additional help from nearby family members to make staying in the home a little easier.  However, many seniors may not have family nearby to help them or have care needs that are beyond what their family can cover.  In these cases, it helps to work with a home care provider.
