HomeAid Health Caregivers
It takes a special person to provide loving and compassionate care for the elderly. We look for employees that have a true interest and heart in serving the aging. Every staff member goes through a screening process, including a criminal background check. All individuals selected for employment at HomeAid must be of high moral and ethical character, and they must be involved in long-term care because they want to assist the elderly. They must also display a willingness to learn and keep current in the changes required in long-term care. HomeAid provides ongoing training, which includes education in caring for clients with special needs.

HomeAid Health Care Management
HomeAid Health Care is a division of Prairie Home Elder Services and works hand-in-hand with Prairie Home Assisted Living. Both companies are owned and operated by John McCarthy and his family and strive to provide excellence in Elder Care. HomeAid Health Care and Prairie Home Assisted Living are based on Christ-centered principals and values which we try to reflected in every aspect of how we minister to our clients and operate our businesses. The family takes personal pride in the service and care provided through HomeAid Health Care and Prairie Home Assisted Living.

Our Mission
When loved ones age and are physically unable to live completely independently, the effect can be far reaching and traumatic. Our mission is to reflect the love of Jesus by helping families address the challenges of aging. Whether at Prairie Home Assisted Living or through the services of HomeAid Health Care, our goal is providing a safe, comfortable environment and loving, individualized attention that addresses the emotional, physical and spiritual needs of the elderly we care for.

Dear Friends,

When circumstances don’t allow you to care for your loved one yourself, you worry about them. Did they take their medication today? Are they eating well? Have they had an unexpected fall or accident? You love them and want what’s best for them. Yet sometimes your concern seems overwhelming. Even so, it’s hard for you to picture them in a nursing home, or an institutionalized facility.

 

That’s why Prairie Home is a welcome alternative for so many families. I’m John McCarthy and this is my wife, Fran. We’ve been the hands-on owners and administrators of Prairie Home since its founding in 1998. Prairie Home is a faith based assisted living facility that ministers to the aging in our community. Our compassionate and professional Caregivers provide more than just quality health care. It is our goal to create a home-like environment where our residents find the emotional and spiritual connection they need at this stage of their lives.

Prairie Home Elder Services recently introduced HomeAid Health Care. HomeAid allows us to bring the quality care that Prairie Home is renowned for right to the homes of elderly in the Fox Valley area. We are very excited about being able to extend our care to those who need help at home as well as continue to serve our residents at our Prairie Home facility.

Let us show our care to your loved one and your family.

John H. McCarthy
