Help at home, for everyone.
Home care, without the runaround. One intake, a matched agency, a booked assessment — for people of every age and every situation, from aging in place to pregnancy, recovery, and disability.
Concierge pilot: a navigator reviews every request and matches it with agencies by hand. Health-care counsel review of fees, ownership disclosure, consent, and referral arrangements is still pending before launch.

Ways we can help
Every kind of non-medical care a licensed Illinois home-care agency can provide — pick the one that sounds closest and we'll match it.
Arranging care for someone you love?
Most people who come here are looking for someone else — a parent, a partner, a friend. You don't need their permission to start, and you don't need an account. Tell us what they need, and we'll match them with a licensed agency and book an assessment.

Frequently asked questions
Non-medical home care is help with everyday life at home: bathing, personal care, meals, housekeeping, errands, mobility, medication reminders, and companionship. It is provided by home care aides — not nurses — and it does not include skilled medical care.
Home care in Illinois, without the runaround
Arranging home care in Illinois usually means calling agency after agency, repeating the same story, and waiting for callbacks. CareDoor replaces that with one intake: tell us what help is needed, where, and when, and a navigator matches you with a licensed Illinois home-care agency that serves your ZIP and accepts your payment route — private pay, long-term care insurance, VA benefits, or the Illinois Community Care Program (CCP).
Non-medical home care covers the everyday help that keeps people safe and comfortable at home: companion care, personal care, dementia care, respite for family caregivers, overnight care, and 24-hour care. It is not medical or skilled nursing care. If you are wondering how much home care costs in Illinois, whether the Community Care Program can help pay for it, or how to choose a home-care agency, the Learning Center answers all three in plain language.
CareDoor serves families across Illinois — from Chicago and Bolingbrook to Naperville, Aurora, Joliet, and beyond — and people of every age: aging parents, adults recovering after surgery, pregnant and postpartum mothers, people living with a disability or chronic condition, and new parents who need an extra pair of hands. Start with an estimate, and a navigator will take it from there.
