Platinum Care Group provides 24-hour home care in Hinsdale for older adults who need someone close by at every hour of the day and night. Our caregivers help seniors stay safe and comfortable in the home they know, or in their senior community, with the kind of steady 24/7 home care Hinsdale families can count on. Round-the-clock support can be set up as 24-hour care, live-in care or overnight care, and it changes as your loved one's needs change. We've supported families since 2006. Getting started begins with a simple conversation, and you'll find each step laid out near the end of this page.
Round-the-clock care means there's always someone in the house with your loved one. Morning, afternoon or the middle of the night, a caregiver is right there, so Mom or Dad can keep living with their own things, their own routines and the neighbors they know.
Continuous supervision is one of the biggest benefits. Someone is looking out for your loved one's safety at all hours, which matters even more for a person living with Alzheimer's or dementia.
Continuity of care comes with it, too. The caregivers in the home become people your family knows and trusts, and they get to know your loved one just as well: how they like their mornings, when they like to rest, what helps on a hard afternoon.
Every plan is built around the person, and you can read more about how we approach round-the-clock care for seniors. Our page on the full range of home care we offer in Hinsdale covers companion care, personal care, respite care and more for families in the village.
A caregiver who is with your loved one through a full day and night helps with much more than most families expect. Round-the-clock care in Hinsdale covers four kinds of help, and your loved one's plan includes as much or as little of each as they need.
Our caregivers help with bathing, grooming and getting dressed, gently and at your loved one's own pace. They also help with toileting and incontinence care, and with mobility, so getting up from a chair or moving from room to room feels steadier. The personal care a caregiver gives follows the scope the Illinois Department of Public Health sets for a Home Services Agency.
Caregivers prepare meals, keep up with light housekeeping and take care of light laundry. The house stays comfortable, and nobody has to wonder what's for dinner or whether the towels got washed.
Caregivers run errands, do the grocery shopping and go along to appointments. Your loved one has a familiar face beside them in the waiting room, and someone to help carry the bags home afterward.
A lot of a long day is simply time spent with someone. Caregivers offer companionship, help with hobbies and read with your loved one, and they keep an eye on in-home safety and security all through the night.
Families usually start by asking which kind of round-the-clock support fits their situation. We offer three ways to set it up, and we'll help you sort out which one makes sense.
24-hour home care gives your loved one continuous help and supervision around the clock, every day of the week.
Live-in care in Hinsdale means a caregiver stays in the home and gives constant support and companionship. Live-in caregivers help with personal care such as bathing, dressing, grooming and hygiene, with meals from cooking to feeding to cleanup, and with light housekeeping like laundry, cleaning and organizing. It's especially comforting for a parent who lives alone or has memory loss, because a trusted companion is by their side at all times.
Overnight care covers the night hours, so someone is nearby while the rest of the household sleeps.
Hourly, part-time and full-time care are options too. Families can begin with a few hours a week and step up as needs grow, or move from 24-hour care back to a lighter schedule once a parent is stronger. Our care plans range from a few hours a week to daily visits, overnight care or 24-hour support, and we adjust them whenever your loved one's needs change.
Families come to 24-hour care for a handful of reasons, and a parent who lives alone is one of them. Of Hinsdale's 2,783 residents aged 65 and older, 527 live by themselves. That's close to one in five older neighbors, and nearly three out of four of them are women.
Nights can also start to feel less safe. More than a third of residents 75 and older report a disability, the kind of everyday difficulty that can make stairs, a bath or a late trip to the bathroom harder than it used to be.
Coming home after surgery or a hospital stay is another time families want someone there around the clock, and our hospital to home transition support helps with that first stretch back home.
Memory loss that needs constant attention is a reason too, and our Alzheimer's and dementia home care is built around safety, routine and familiar faces.
Round-the-clock care can be temporary, for recovery after surgery or rehabilitation, or it can continue for as long as your loved one needs it.
The village's own hospital, UChicago Medicine AdventHealth Hinsdale on North Oak Street, holds state designations as a Level II Trauma Center and a Primary Stroke Center. Coming home from a stay there often means a string of follow-up appointments, and a caregiver can go along to each one and stay with your loved one through the visit.
The Hinsdale Police Department runs an At-Risk Resident / Special Needs Program for residents who are more likely to become confused, disoriented or lost. Families register their loved one's details ahead of time, so first responders can recognize them, reunite them with family and help without delay. It's a good step to take alongside overnight care for someone with memory loss.
Hinsdale sits in both DuPage and Cook counties, so the local agency on aging depends on which side of the line your home is on. AgeGuide in Lombard serves DuPage County, and AgeOptions in Oak Park serves suburban Cook County.
Our caregivers also provide 24-hour care in nearby Oak Brook, Western Springs, La Grange, Downers Grove, Elmhurst and the surrounding areas. A parent who moves closer to family in a neighboring town can keep the same care team they already know.
Letting someone into your home, especially overnight, is a big step, and we take it with you. We match each caregiver to your loved one's needs. You can meet or interview the caregiver before care begins, talk through your needs, expectations and preferences, and get a feel for their personality and experience.
Care plans change as needs change, so the help your loved one gets next year can look different from the help they get this month. Our caregivers are carefully chosen and trained, and our team keeps an emergency response plan, with regular drills and staff training, so care keeps going when something unexpected happens.
Illinois sets its own standard as well. Every home services worker in the state must complete at least ten hours of training, five before the first assignment and five within the first 30 days, pass a competency evaluation and then take ten more hours every year. The required subjects include understanding dementia, recognizing emergencies and preventing abuse and neglect, and workers must clear a background check under the Health Care Worker Background Check Act.
Guiding families through decisions like this one has been our main goal since our founding in 2006.
Setting up care takes three steps, and we walk you through each one at whatever pace feels right for your family.
The first step is a Phone Consultation. We start by having a conversation to get to know your needs and goals, and from there we can quickly tell whether we're a good fit.
Next comes the In Home Consultation. We meet with you and your loved ones in the home to learn about your situation and create a care plan together.
The last step is to Deliver Care Plan. Our team matches the right caregivers to your loved one and lets you know the next steps to a better tomorrow.
You can share a few details on our Get Started page whenever you're ready, and a caring member of our office staff will follow up with information and pricing for 24-hour home care in Hinsdale.
