Owners, Christine and John Browning, decision to open Home Helpers of Barrington, was twofold. We were driven by our passion for providing quality care, as well as a concern for friends and family with aging parents. We saw the need for our services, as many of our friends and family were feeling the stress of juggling the demands of their personal and professional lives with the increasing needs of their parents or children.
Many people think their only option is assisted living. Not only is this costly, but it moves the parents out of the home in which they are comfortable. We felt Home Helpers was the perfect opportunity for us to apply the skills we have developed over the past 20+ years to help our community members continue to live independently in the comfort and security of their own home. With Home Helpers, we are there when you need us! When you contact Home Helpers, you can count on speaking with a caring individual who is happy to assist you with possible solutions to your issues and concerns.

Wednesday morning, I received a very lovely bouquet of flowers from Home Helpers & Direct Link. It felt like yet another loving way Home Helpers was taking care of me. We are so grateful for the loving care given to my mother the past two years. The patience, care, cheerfulness, and loving spirit that Bernie showed everyday brightened my mom. She trusted Bernie and felt secure and safe in her presence. She always looked forward to seeing Bernie walk through that door every morning at 9:00 am! Susan was also a favorite, with her easy going manner and loving, generous spirit. She too has a cheerful, upbeat way that lifted my mom up. I would highly recommend Home Helpers!

Laurie, I am a current client
For almost two years now, Home Helpers & Direct Link of Barrington has been providing supplemental care for my elderly father in Lake Barrington, who has severe memory loss. They have been both reliable and flexible. When I've had a last minute need (or just a possible need) they've always been willing to accommodate. Their helpers have been kind and trustworthy, and their administrators have been communicative. Just as important, they've given me peace of mind when I can't be there myself.
