Personal Care Services
Providing exceptional Personal Care Services for seniors and families in Downer’s Grove, Naperville, Lombard, Westmont, Darien, Oak Brook, Hinsdale, Wheaton, Burr Ridge, Glen Ellyn, Elmhurst, DuPage County, and Western Cook County.
When routine tasks—bathing, dressing, grooming—grow difficult, personal care at home offers a practical way for older adults to remain safe and comfortable in surroundings they love. Rather than uprooting a parent to an unfamiliar setting, families can bring skilled assistance right to the living room chair, the kitchen table, and every place in between.
At the same time, many sons, daughters, and spouses find that providing hands-on help around the clock leaves them drained and worried they might miss something important. Professional personal care services fill that gap, delivering respectful in-home support so family caregivers can rest, work, and enjoy quality moments with their loved ones instead of juggling every bathing, toileting, or transfer need themselves.
What is Personal Care?
Personal care (sometimes called in-home personal care or personal care services) covers the hands-on tasks most people do privately:
- Bathing & Hygiene – sponge baths, tub or shower support, shampooing
- Dressing & Grooming – selecting weather-appropriate clothes, fastening buttons, oral care, shaving
- Toileting & Incontinence Support – timely bathroom reminders, clean-up, skin-care routines
- Feeding & Meal Assistance – preparing balanced meals, using adaptive utensils, ensuring hydration
- Safe Transfers & Mobility – guiding from bed to chair, chair to standing, using gait belts or lift devices when needed
These services help older adults avoid falls, illness, and social withdrawal while preserving dignity at home.

Suburban Home Care’s Personalized Approach
Individual Care Plans
A registered care coordinator visits each client’s home in Downers Grove, Naperville, or a nearby neighborhood such as Belmont or Ogden Avenue Corridor. Together with the family, the coordinator creates a tailored plan that may be part-time, overnight, or 24/7—whichever schedule keeps the household running smoothly.
Highly Trained, Local Caregivers
Suburban Home Care hires aides from the same communities they serve, completes national background checks, and provides ongoing instruction in:
- Safe transfer techniques
- Dementia-sensitive communication
- Infection-control best practices
Supervisory nurses drop in unannounced to confirm quality, and families can review visit notes through a secure online portal.
