The Premier Home Care Services Provider in Chicago

Home Care Powered by AUAF has served as a Chicagoland elderly in-home care agency for over 25 years. We are structured to provide specific levels of senior home care services for your loved one.

Depending on your specific needs, a personal plan of at-home care is created so you or your loved one can receive help a few hours a day. Our in-home caregivers are trained to provide customized, one-on-one elderly care. Because we want our clients to continue to do the things they enjoy, while maintaining peace of mind, our home care aides hours are flexible and varied. Home care providers are available for elderly in-home care services seven days a week, between 6am-10pm.

COVID-19 Screening Questionnaire

The care we provide to our vulnerable seniors is so important, and in order to ensure they continue to receive in-home services during the COVID-19 precautions, we are providing additional guidance for staff members who are conducting assessments or providing services in a home setting. To protect vulnerable seniors and their caregivers, beginning April 29, 2020, the Illinois Department on Aging (IDOA) is requiring staff to ask the questions found in the COVID-19 Screening Questionnaire prior to a face-to-face visit. The screening tool should be used for the following:

  • To screen staff at least 24 hours before any face-to-face contact with an older/vulnerable adult.
  • To screen the older/vulnerable adult at least 24 hours before any face-to-face contact.

Stay Safe in Extreme Heat

June 22, 2022

Over this past week, temperatures in the Chicago area skyrocketed up to 100. Given the mild temperatures the week before, this gave many residents whiplash—especially those without central air.

Older adults can’t adjust to the sudden, extreme shifts in temperature as well as younger people. This could be due to their medications or any chronic illnesses they deal with. Whether […]
