Support That Fits Your Family
Every plan starts with your loved one's routine, preferences and goals — not a fixed package.
Our Simple Care Process
Five straightforward steps from your first phone call to ongoing support. There is no obligation at any point, including after the free assessment.
Step 1: Contact Us
Call us or send a short message. We will listen to your situation and answer your questions — no pressure, no script.
Step 2: FREE Assessment
We visit the home at no cost to understand daily routines, safety concerns and what support would genuinely help.
Step 3: Personalized Care Plan
We put together a written plan built around your loved one's needs, preferences, schedule and budget.
Step 4: Caregiver Match
We match a carefully screened caregiver whose skills and personality suit your loved one — and introduce them properly.
Step 5: Ongoing Support
We stay involved, check in regularly, and adjust the plan as needs change over time.

The person in your home should be someone you'd trust with your own parent
That is the whole standard. Everything below is how we hold ourselves to it.
Locally Owned
Based in Plainfield and run by people who live here. Decisions are made locally, not at a corporate office in another state.
Licensed
Licensed to provide non-medical in-home care in Illinois, and operated to those standards every day.
Bonded
Bonded for your protection, so families have recourse and peace of mind when someone is in the home.
Insured
Fully insured, which protects your loved one, your household and the caregiver on every visit.
Experienced Caregivers
Every caregiver completes screening and onboarding before entering a client's home, and we look for temperament as much as experience.

From a few hours a week to 24-hour and live-in support. Plans scale up or down as needs change.
Around-the-Clock Care
Care itself runs 24 hours, including overnight and live-in. You can call the office during business hours, or message us any time.

The caregivers are amazing. When we were looking for someone to care for my special needs sister, Gentle Touch came to our home to meet us and performed a thorough eval and assessment. They matched the perfect caregiver with my sister and we could not have been more pleased with her care. Not only were all my sister's physical needs met but she loved the time she had with her caregiver giving her a healthy social outlet as well. Her caregiver was wonderful with my sister and would always send pictures and updates since I lived out of state. We are so grateful to Gentle Touch and would recommend them to anyone.
Christine C.
The same caregiver looked after both of my parents. Both parents had different needs and she was more than capable of responding to the various needs of her patients. She became like one of our family. She is a wonderful person, very compassionate, and a heart of gold. I would definitely recommend her to take care of your loved ones.
Bill S.
Our caregiver from Gentle Touch cared for my Dad twice a week for 5 months. His care for my Dad was truly kind and gentle. He provided assistance to my mom as well with light housekeeping. When Dad recently fell, he immediately found the additional caregivers we needed until Dad moved to a memory care community. His help during the transition time to memory care was very valuable to our family. We are extremely grateful for everything he and his caregivers did to get us through that time.
Wayne B.
We were very pleased with the care our mother received from Gentle Touch Home Assist. They provided us with several kind, conscientious and trustworthy caregivers.
