Kerry asked a lot of questions to help narrow down our options. She recommended several places to help us determine what size/feel would work best for our situation. Kerry set up the appointments for our tours and checked with us to get feedback. Our timeline for moving needed to happen sooner than we thought, and Kerry helped keep us on track. My father-in-law is happy with his new home and we appreciate Kerry's help.

Several months ago I'd grown increasingly worried about my mom's safety at home. The day we were to…read morediscuss assisted living with her doctor, I found myself calling 911 and sending her to the hospital for what would be 51 days, sepsis, 2 surgeries & 2 rehab stints. Having her return home was no longer an option; which led me to quickly get to up to speed on senior living options,mostly on my own. I found her a place & moved her in all before her release. While I ensured her safety, I second guessed my decisions as she vocally struggled to adjust; it was a lot of change particularly for someone who rarely left her home. Almost 6 months in, a different set of doubts & worries took over. Did I make the right call, could she live somewhere more affordable, would she outlive her money, etc. I don't even recall what search term led me to Senior Living Experts, but I'm grateful. Rebecca listened to my story and made me feel less alone. She thought where my mom was at was the best option in terms of cost, desired location and care needs addressed, but would do the research and circle back. We also discussed the care she received currently and provided a few suggestions. As promised, Rebecca followed up and confirmed her initial assessment. Yes, I'll still worry about her finances, but I now have a better understanding of the landscape and what comes should her care needs increase. If I had a do over, I would have started with Senior Living Experts, they are amazing!

At no cost to us, Joe narrowed things down to just three places that met our requirements for budget, zip codes, and the specific care needs of my mother. We finished touring three relevant communities in just one afternoon, rather than the three weekends we had planned on allocating. After our tours, he clearly laid out the pro's and con's of each. As a result, we were able to make a calm and optimal decision about what was best for mom, not a shoot-from-the-hip decision. She's very happy where she is, and so are we. Wow, did he save us time and trouble, and from the risk of making a poor decision.

Most importantly, they are both extremely kind to our mom and because of that, she looks forward to seeing them. They assist her with her personal needs, heat up meals for her, encourage her to get up and walk around the house with their assistance so she doesn't sit for too long and finally, they get her ready for bed and put her to bed for the night. We feel very fortunate to have such caring and highly qualified caregivers. When we initially reached out to Compassion Home Care, Matthew, the owner, called me back the same day I called them. He gave me Laura's name who would work with my sisters and me to come up with the best caregivers for my mom's needs. Laura is extremely professional and her main goal was to learn what we were looking for and supply the best people. She has great insight from her experience in home health care over the years. We are very pleased with the women she decided were the best for our mom. It is very comforting knowing that your loved ones are taken care of when you aren't with them. We highly recommend Compassion Home Care of Illinois.
