What is home health? Who pays for homecare services? If you find yourself asking these questions, you're not alone. Before you make decisions about providers and what care is needed, it's important to understand the difference between homecare and home health. While both of these services are dedicated to supporting the health and well being of older adults, they serve different functions and have different regulations. 

Naomi Williams wrote, “It’s impossible to feel grateful and depressed in the same moment.” While we often hear about the power of gratitude for creating a more positive and happy mental state, research from UCLA shows that gratitude has the power to transform your brain.

In fact, regularly expressing gratitude literally changes the brain’s molecular structure, keeps gray matter functioning, improves sleep, reduces anxiety, and makes us healthier and happier.

Whether it's to promote health through social interaction or to provide supervisory care to those with Dementia & Alzheimer's, adult day cares are becoming a popular option for seniors throughout Chicago and suburbs. Through group activities and engagement, these adult day cares in the Chicago suburbs offer safe spaces that support the health, nutritional, social, and daily living needs of older adults. In addition, they offer needed respite to family caregivers. 

At LifeStyle Options, we understand how important options are to the families we serve. We've compiled a list of local, Chicago adult day care centers, so you can compare and make the right choice for yourself or your loved one.
