About Anew Home Care

A family-owned home care agency built on trust.

Anew Home Care, LLC is a licensed Illinois Home Services Agency serving elderly and disabled adults in their own private residences across the Chicago western suburbs.

We founded Anew because our own family lived the experience of caring for an aging loved one — and we saw firsthand what home care can be when it's done with warmth, honesty, and consistency.

  • Family-owned — you'll speak with the owner, not a call center.
  • Non-medical services only — personal care, homemaker, and companion, delivered with dignity.
  • W-2 employees, not contractors — trained, supervised, and accountable to our agency.
  • Licensed by the Illinois Department of Public Health under 77 Ill. Adm. Code 245.

Meet Your Administrator

Nina McCaffrey

I've spent the last 17 years running a small business in Oak Park. I've also cared personally for someone I loved deeply — a dear friend of our family named Jan — so I understand what it feels like to try to balance a life of your own with the responsibility of making sure someone you love is safe.

Anew is my full-time work. When you call our number, you're calling me directly. Every caregiver we place has completed a professional training program that meets Illinois Department of Public Health standards, plus ongoing annual training every year they work with us — and I'm personally accountable for supervising their care.

Anew Home Care was inspired in part by the years I spent caring for Jan, a dear friend of the family. That relationship shapes how we train our caregivers and how we treat every client and every family that trusts us.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to what families ask us most.

What's the difference between "non-medical" home care and home health?

Non-medical home care covers help with daily living — bathing, dressing, meals, companionship. It does not include skilled nursing, wound care, IV therapy, or physical/occupational therapy. If your loved one needs skilled medical services, we'll help you find a licensed home health agency alongside our care.

How much do services cost?

Our rates are competitive with market standards for non-medical home care in the Chicago western suburbs and vary by service type (personal care, homemaker, or companion), frequency, and whether visits are during standard hours, weekends, or holidays. There's no charge for the initial consultation or in-home assessment. After your assessment, we provide a written Service Agreement with itemized pricing so you know exactly what to expect on your invoice — no hidden fees, no surprises.

Do you accept Medicare, Medicaid, or long-term care insurance?

We are a private-pay agency. Medicare does not cover non-medical home care. We can assist with billing paperwork for approved long-term care insurance policies — call us and we'll walk you through it.

How do I know a caregiver is trustworthy?

Every caregiver we place has passed a fingerprint-based IDPH background check, is verified on the Illinois Health Care Worker Registry, and has completed a professional training program that meets IDPH standards before their first client visit — plus ongoing annual training every year. All caregivers are W-2 employees, personally supervised by our Licensed Administrator every 60–90 days, and we carry a $25,000 dishonesty bond to protect our clients' property.

Can I change my mind or adjust services later?

Absolutely. You can adjust the type, frequency, or hours of care at any time — usually with a simple phone call. Either party can terminate services with 14 days written notice. This is your loved one's care, and you're always in charge of it.

What if my loved one and the caregiver aren't a good match?

Just tell us. Personality and rapport matter more than we can measure on paper. If a match doesn't feel right, we'll place a different caregiver — no explanation needed and no charge for the change.

Careers

Grow with a small team that treats caregivers like family.

We're building Anew Home Care around one belief: great care starts with well-treated caregivers. If you share that belief and want to work for an agency where you'll actually know the owner, we'd love to hear from you.

  • W-2 employment — not 1099. We handle your taxes and workers' comp.
  • Paid initial training — 10 hours before your first client visit.
  • Paid annual training — 10 hours every year, on the clock.
  • Illinois paid leave — you earn paid time off from day one.
  • Consistent hours — regular clients, predictable schedule.
  • Direct access to the owner — no corporate call center middleman.
