Friendly Home Care

Friendly Home Care is a home care agency serving the Chicago area from an office located at 3427 N Milwaukee Ave, Chicago, IL, in the Irving Park neighborhood. The agency has been operating for 35 years.

The agency provides 24/7 care availability and operates throughout the week.

The location has a Walk Score of 91, indicating that daily errands do not require a car. The agency is 9.9 miles from Chicago’s city center and 4.86 miles from Ascension Saint Joseph – Chicago hospital.

Friendly Home Care has earned a BBB Rating of A+ based on complaint history, transparency, and business practices. The agency holds ACHC Accreditation, which represents recognition by the Accreditation Commission for Health Care. However, Friendly Home Care is not currently CMS-certified for Medicare or Medicaid, which significantly affects insurance eligibility and payment coverage options for prospective clients.

Friendly Home Care provides in-home care services delivered by licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants with 24-hour staffing availability. The agency specializes in supporting individuals living with dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, and other chronic conditions requiring ongoing care and management. Services include respite care, assistance with activities of daily living, meal preparation, medication reminders, transportation, companionship, personal care, and dedicated companion care. The care model is specifically designed to allow seniors to age comfortably within their own homes while receiving professional support that promotes independence and addresses daily care needs.

The agency emphasizes the importance of quality care and personalized attention for each client.

This lack of public disclosure is typical for home care agencies regulated by state health departments rather than CMS. Families seeking to engage Friendly Home Care should independently verify with the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH), which serves as the state licensing body for home care providers, whether the agency holds current licensure, what regulatory status applies, whether any complaints have been filed against it, and what compliance issues may exist in state records.

The agency’s non-CMS certification status means that Medicare and Medicaid coverage may be unavailable or significantly restricted depending on specific program requirements. Prospective clients and families should verify insurance eligibility and available payment options directly with the agency.

Families should verify IDPH licensure, insurance and Medicaid acceptance, caregiver credentials, supervision and quality assurance procedures, and inquire about regulatory compliance history.
