Understanding In-Home Support

What Is Personal Care for Seniors?

Personal care goes beyond general housekeeping—it is hands-on, daily assistance designed to keep seniors and individuals with physical limitations comfortable, dignified, and safe in their own homes.

Our compassionate caregivers assist with essential daily tasks (ADLs) that may have become challenging over time, allowing your loved ones to preserve their independence without changing their familiar environment.

  • Bathing, grooming, and personal hygiene assistance
  • Safe mobility support and transfer help
  • Dressing, meal preparation, and nutrition care
  • Respectful support tailored to individual daily routines

Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Care in Illinois

Clear, direct answers to common questions about non-medical home care, coverage, and scheduling.

Does Original Medicare cover non-medical personal care services? +

No, Original Medicare (Part A and Part B) does not pay for non-medical personal care when it is the only care required. Medicare only covers short-term skilled care prescribed by a physician. However, long-term care insurance, Medicaid waivers, or private pay options frequently cover custodial and personal care services. Feel free to contact our team to verify your coverage options.

What happens if my assigned caregiver falls ill or cannot attend? +

Abbey Home Services provides guaranteed backup caregiver coverage. If your primary caregiver reports an illness or personal emergency, our 24/7 supervisory team immediately arranges a fully trained substitute caregiver with access to your personalized care plan to ensure zero interruption in support.

How quickly can home care services start after contacting you? +

In most cases, care can begin within 24 to 48 hours following an initial consultation and home assessment. For urgent hospital discharges or emergency home care needs across Cook County and Will County, same-day expedited caregiver placement is often available.

Can we request a different caregiver if the initial match isn't right? +

Yes, you can request a caregiver change at any time without penalty. We prioritize personal compatibility, language preferences, and care needs. If you feel the match isn't ideal, simply call us and we will promptly reassign a caregiver who better fits your family's preferences.

Are there minimum hourly shift requirements for home care? +

We offer flexible scheduling starting from a few hours a day up to 24/7 live-in care. Whether your family requires assistance with medication reminders, companion care, or full personal hygiene care, we tailor schedules to fit your specific budget and timeline.
