In-Home Care & Caregivers in Highland Park

Compassionate, carefully matched caregivers serving Highland Park seniors and their families.

Gentle Touch Home Assist provides personal care, meals, medication reminders, mobility support, transportation, housekeeping and companionship across Highland Park.

We also support families living with dementia and Alzheimer's. Our caregivers are oriented in approaches that reduce distress rather than argue with it, and work to keep the day predictable and calm.

Where a spouse or adult child is providing most of the care, scheduled respite is often what keeps that arrangement sustainable. Care ranges from a few hours a week to 24-hour and live-in support, starting with a free in-home assessment.

Why Families in Highland Park Call Us

Dementia and Alzheimer's support

Familiar surroundings and a predictable routine do a great deal. Our caregivers are trained to work with that rather than against it.

Respite for the family

Regular scheduled breaks are what stop a family caregiver reaching the point of exhaustion. Respite can be a few hours or several days.

Private pay and long-term care insurance

We accept both, and can talk you through what a long-term care policy is likely to cover before you commit to anything.
