FAQs

What is the difference between a company that offers care at home and a home health agency?

The two are not exclusive. In other words, they can work together to provide complete care for seniors at home. For example, some require an agency’s medical staff for routine health monitoring, rehabilitation and hospice care. Unfortunately, medical staff members cannot stay for long periods of time without incurring a large expense. Therefore, companies like Kyle’s Care at Home can complement a medical staff’s services by offering affordable assistance with other, more routine duties that do not require medical training.

What can a Kyle’s Care at Home caregiver do?

Designed to help seniors to remain safe and comfortable in their own home for as long as possible, our service provides assistance for those who need help with their daily routine… for example, meal preparation, assistance with bathing/personal hygiene/dressing, medication reminders, help with laundry and changing bedding, exercise, transportation, shopping and running errands, light housekeeping tasks and many more activities.

How do I know my caregiver will be qualified?

You can have absolute confidence in your Kyle’s Care at Home caregiver. All prospective employees undergo a thorough reference and background check. They also are fingerprinted and drug tested. Our staff is fully insured, bonded and well trained, including specific training mandated by the State of Illinois.
