“Joe and the staff at Synergy were extremely helpful when my parents had a sudden change in health circumstances and needed in-home help immediately. Joe was great at listening to our needs and finding kind and qualified caregivers. They were also great at helping us deal with insurance and other similar matters.”
Julie A.
“Joe and his entire team have been a lifesaver for me when my mother began having health issues. I did not understand how difficult it would be managing my mother’s health, but the caregivers stepped in with kindness and compassion and provided the extra support we needed at home. Joe really listened to what worked and didn’t work for my mom.”
Leslie B.
Joe and the entire team at Synergy Home Care have been wonderful from the very beginning. Joe was attentive, compassionate, and incredibly responsive to our needs. Any questions or concerns were addressed promptly, and we always felt heard and supported. The caregivers are professional, kind, dependable, and genuinely caring.”

Quick Answers
Home care covers non-medical support that helps your loved one live safely and comfortably at home. This includes personal care like bathing and dressing, companionship, meal preparation, light housekeeping, medication reminders, transportation to appointments, and safety supervision. We build a care plan around what your family actually needs.
Home care is non-medical support — personal care, companionship, meals, and daily living help. Home health care is a separate, medically licensed service that provides skilled nursing and therapy. SYNERGY HomeCare provides non-medical in-home care.
We ask for a 4-hour minimum per visit, but we’ll work with you to find a schedule that fits your family — whether that’s a few days a week or around-the-clock care. We don’t turn away families who need help.
In most cases, we can begin care within the same week of your initial call. Joe will visit your home for a free assessment, and once your care plan is in place, we match you with a caregiver and get started.
Yes. We work with private pay and long-term care insurance. We can help you understand your coverage options during the free in-home assessment.
We provide a full range of non-medical home care services in Glenview and across the North Shore, including companion care, personal care, respite care for family caregivers, meal preparation, transportation, medication reminders, and 24/7 live-in care. Every care plan is customized to fit your family's needs.
