Common Questions About Chicago Home Care
How much does home care cost in Chicago?
Non-medical home care in Chicago typically runs $28 to $38 per hour for hourly care, with live-in care priced as a flat daily rate. Your actual rate depends on the level of care, scheduling continuity, and any specialty needs. We're happy to give an exact quote on a free consultation call.
What's the difference between non-medical and medical home care?
Non-medical home care covers everyday activities — bathing, grooming, meal prep, companionship, light housekeeping, transportation, mobility support. Medical home care (sometimes called home health) covers skilled nursing tasks like wound care or IV therapy and is usually billed through insurance. Lakeshore Helping Hands provides non-medical care.
Are you a franchise?
No. Lakeshore is independently owned and operated. Scheduling, caregiver matching, and pricing are all decided locally — no corporate headquarters between you and the care decision.
Can a caregiver start this week?
Often yes — especially for hourly care in Chicago neighborhoods. After a quick consultation, we can typically have a vetted caregiver in the home within 24 to 72 hours.
