Gentle Touch Home Assist provides personal care, meal preparation, medication reminders, mobility support, transportation, housekeeping and companionship throughout Evanston.

We put real weight on the match. Skills can be taught; getting on with someone cannot, and the caregiver who suits one person is not the one who suits another. We introduce them properly before care begins, and if the fit is wrong we will arrange someone else without a fuss.

Support runs from a few hours a week to overnight and live-in care, beginning with a free in-home assessment.

Why Families in Evanston Call Us

Matched, then introduced

You meet the caregiver before care starts. Nobody unfamiliar simply turns up at the door.

If the fit is wrong, say so

We would rather change caregiver early than have a family put up with an arrangement that is not working.

Updates for family further away

Where adult children live out of state, regular updates from the caregiver make coordinating far less anxious.
