Home Care in Aurora, IL

Homewatch CareGivers of Plainfield provides personalized in-home care for families in Aurora, IL and surrounding communities. Call (331) 253-5469 to schedule an in-home consultation.

A care plan should fit the person receiving care, not the other way around. Our caregivers take time to understand your loved one's routines, preferences, needs, and level of independence before building a schedule around them.

Some families need companionship for a few hours each week. Others need help with personal care, mobility, dementia-related needs, overnight supervision, or continuous support. Our goal is to provide the level of assistance your loved one needs while helping them remain comfortable and connected to life at home.

Aurora has its own distinct neighborhoods, community spaces, and daily routines. Known historically as the City of Lights, Aurora is a community where many families want aging parents and loved ones to remain close to familiar people, places, and routines for as long as possible.

What Care Looks Like for Aurora Families

Home care can look different from one household to the next.

One family may need a caregiver several mornings each week to help with meals, bathing, and errands. Another may need overnight support for a loved one who is at risk of falls or becomes confused at night. Families caring for someone with dementia may need more consistent supervision, familiar routines, and respite for the primary family caregiver.

We work with families to determine an appropriate care schedule and can review the plan as needs change.

Homewatch CareGivers caregivers undergo background checks and receive ongoing training. Caregivers may also receive additional education related to dementia care, mobility support, personal care, and other client needs.

Our Aurora home care services may include:

• Personal care, including bathing, dressing, grooming, and hygiene support
• Fall-risk supervision and mobility assistance

Care plans are personalized around the individual. Services and schedules can be adjusted as your loved one's needs change.

Staying Connected to the Aurora Community

Home care is not only about completing tasks around the house. It can also help your loved one remain connected to the community and routines they know.

Depending on the care plan, a caregiver may provide companionship or transportation for an afternoon at Phillips Park, which includes walking areas and the Phillips Park Zoo, an appointment or errand around Aurora, or an outing near RiverEdge Park along the Fox River in downtown Aurora.

For some clients, staying connected may be much simpler. It could mean taking a walk through the neighborhood, preparing a favorite meal, visiting family, listening to music, or continuing a familiar hobby at home.

We build support around what a meaningful and comfortable day looks like for the individual.

Support After a Hospital Stay

Coming home after surgery, illness, injury, or hospitalization can create new challenges for both the individual and their family.

Aurora families returning home from Rush Copley Medical Center or another nearby hospital or rehabilitation facility may suddenly need additional help with mobility, meals, household tasks, transportation, personal care, and everyday routines.

A caregiver can help with:

• Meal preparation
• Medication reminders
• Mobility and walking assistance
• Transportation to follow-up appointments
• Personal care
• Light housekeeping
• Companionship during recovery
• Maintaining the daily routine outlined by the client's healthcare team

Homewatch CareGivers provides non-medical home care. Our caregivers do not replace physicians, nurses, therapists, or other licensed healthcare professionals.
