It is home care without a long-term commitment, available on short notice, for as many or as few hours as the situation requires.

What Care on Demand Means

Most home care is scheduled weeks in advance around a stable routine. Care on demand is different. It covers the gaps that routine does not. A single day of coverage. A few hours each evening for a week. Overnight support for a short stretch after a fall. The same trained, background checked team members who provide our ongoing home care step in for short-term needs, and when the need passes, so does the schedule. There is no minimum number of weeks and no pressure to continue.

Situations Where Families Use Care on Demand

Homewatch CareGivers of Elmhurst provides on demand in-home care for situations such as the following.

  • A sudden hospital discharge from Elmhurst Hospital or another area hospital with no time to plan
  • A family caregiver who is sick, traveling, or simply worn out and needs a break right away
  • Recovery from a minor procedure, illness or fall that needs a few days of extra hands
  • Adult children who live out of state and need someone local to step in quickly
  • A trial period to see how a parent responds to home care before committing to a regular schedule
  • Extra support during the holidays, a family wedding or another busy stretch
  • Bridging the gap while waiting for a spot in an assisted living or rehab facility

What Our Team Can Help With on Short Notice

Even a short visit can cover a lot of ground. Depending on the need, care on demand can include help with bathing, dressing and grooming, meal preparation, medication reminders, light housekeeping, transportation to appointments in Elmhurst or nearby, companionship and a watchful eye for safety. If the person needs hands-on personal care, our team is trained for it. If they mainly need someone present and attentive, we can provide that too.

How Quickly We Can Start

Because our office is on York Road in Elmhurst and our team lives and works across DuPage County, we can often begin the same day or the next day. Call us, tell us what is happening, and we will match a team member to the need and confirm a start time. For situations we can see coming, such as a planned surgery date or a scheduled trip, calling a few days ahead gives us the most room to find the best fit.

Short-Term Today, an Option for Tomorrow

Many families first call Homewatch CareGivers of Elmhurst for a one-time need and later decide that a regular schedule would make life easier. That transition is simple. The consultation, the care plan and the familiar team members carry over. Others use care on demand a few times a year and never need more. Either way, you decide.
