I went back to college to learn my skills, become certified, Illinois state licensed, and ready to work. I then went to work for the VA at Hines Hospital to learn my skills in a practical setting. Then I started applying for jobs. Most places didn't care if I was certified or even had a state license. But Smile and Love, Inc. did. I don't have to work any more, but I choose to. I have worked for them for more than a year and I love the VA patients I work with, and Patrick at Smile and Love. I recommend them highly to anyone for the care of anyone you love!

It is my pleasure to write a recommendation letter for Karen's Home Care. My grandma has been a…read moreclient of Karen's Home Care for the last four years, helping support my aunt before she passed away in early March of 2024. Karen's agency cared for my aunt and met her needs with the utmost respect and kindness. Because of their compassion and flexibility, my aunt was able to remain in her home and was given high quality care until her recent passing. Her caregivers were incredibly attentive, treated her with dignity, and provided medical assistance when needed. I cannot express my gratitude enough to the owner of the agency, Karen. She was always hands-on, communicated with my grandma frequently, and promptly informed my grandma of any needs and updates to my aunt's care. If Karen felt at any point that the caregiver needed to be replaced because of my aunt's specific needs, she would step in herself or quickly find a replacement. Karen is a caring individual with a big heart; We are so happy to have had her in our lives.

I contacted Chris Gerardi with Home Helpers to provide help for my father,…read morewho lives alone in his home but did not feel he needed someone to assist him. The challenge was to find the right caregiver and process of introduction to make my dad feel comfortable that he was not giving up his independence by having a caregiver visit him. Chris took the time necessary to meet with father and discuss the situation with him directly so that my father was part of the decision making process. We were able to ease the transition by starting out with a unit for dad to have to call for help if he could not get to the phone or if he fell and needed emergency assistance, Chris was able to provide this service with a Direct Link unit. After a few weeks Chris specifically recommended a caregiver that he felt would match well with my dad's personality and needs. Kathie was brought in to meet father prior to getting started to make sure he felt good about it. Kathie is exceptional and could not have been a better companion for dad. We started with a few hours a week so dad would not be intimidated by the change. As dad's care needs increased, Chris stayed involved to provide additional assistance, even staying with dad himself sometimes to make sure he was OK. When we realized that it would be best for dad to move to a facility Kathie continued to assist us with much needed support since I do not live close to dad. This was truly a great experience for my dad, who has become attached to Kathie and appreciates her help. For me it has helped to alleviate the stress associated with caring for my dad from a long distance. I highly recommend Home Helpers and Chris Gerardi if your family needs a caregiver; they really are concerned about the quality of life for their client families.

I was both surprised and very pleased with the quality of nursing professionals at Northern Rose. The CEO is intensive care trained, as was the RN she sent to my home.

The physical therapists sent by Northern Rose were so very much more helpful than the physical therapists at the "rehab" center I was recently discharged from. I progressed more in just a few sessions with them, than I had during several weeks at the center.
