The Owner
Assisting Hands of Lombard is owned by Alison Shearer, a long time caregiver.
During Alison’s childhood, she would often visit her grandparents and great grandparents along with her 4 younger siblings. She would love to spend time with them and give them the attention they deserved. Alison felt how important physical contact was important to make them feel loved so she would often hold their hands or give them hugs. Alison was raised in a family that valued extended family and stood by the idea that senior relatives should never be forgotten.
While growing up, she was always around caregivers as one of her aunts owned a nursing home and another aunt was the head of volunteers at a hospital. Once she became old enough, she frequently volunteered at her aunt’s hospital. Her favorite role was being a candy striper and providing assistance for those in the hospital and helping out the nursing staff.
Alison also has experience with the effects of Alzheimer’s disease. She helped her grandfather and father-in-law as they suffered from Alzheimer’s disease. This experience opened her eyes as to how important tailored in-home care is for those suffering from Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia.
Prior to becoming the owner of Assisting Hands of Lombard, Alison worked at a corporate job selling medical devices. After some time, she decided to change her career and put her life experience of caregiving to use. After meeting with other Assisting Hands Home Care franchise owners, she decided to become an owner as well. In December of 2018, she received her license for Assisting Hands Home Care of Lombard, IL. Over the past 2 years, Alison has built a team of dedicated and highly trained caregivers to fulfill her goal of providing care and companionship for senior citizens in Villa Park, Elmhurst, Addison, Lombard, and the surrounding areas of DuPage County, IL.
