Home Care In Tinley Park, IL

Home Care Tinley Park, IL

They say that your golden years are the best years of your life. For most older Americans, that's how it should be - a time to relax, reflect, and live life in a familiar place. After all, senior citizens in the U.S. have worked tirelessly to build a better economy, serve their communities, and raise families.

However, as seniors grow older, completing daily tasks like showering and enjoying activities such as visiting the historic Tinley Park Historical Society gets harder without someone by their side. Unfortunately, many older Americans aren't able to rely on their adult children for help. The reality in today's world is that family members do not have the skills or time to dedicate to caring for their parents. That's where Always Best Care Senior Services comes in.

Our in-home care services are for people who prefer to stay at home as they grow older but need ongoing care that family or friends cannot provide. More and more older adults prefer to live far away from long-term, institutionalized facilities and closer to the place where they feel most comfortable - their home. Home care in Tinley Park, IL is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

The Always Best Care Difference

Since 1996, Always Best Care has provided non-medical in-home care for seniors to help them maintain a healthy lifestyle as they get older. We are proud to have helped more than 25,000 seniors maintain higher levels of dignity and respect. We focus on providing seniors with the highest level of in-home care available so that they may live happily and independently.

Unlike some senior care companies, we genuinely want to be included in our clients' lives. We believe that personalized care is always the better option over a "one size fits all" approach. To make sure our senior clients receive the best care possible, we pair them with compassionate caregivers who understand their unique needs. That way, they may provide care accordingly without compromising their wellbeing.

The Always Best Care difference lies in life's little moments - where compassionate care and trustworthy experience come together to help seniors live a fruitful, healthy life. Whether you are an aging adult that can't quite keep up with life's daily tasks or the child of a senior who needs regular in-home services, Always Best Care is here to help.

“I again want to compliment Shannon on her fine work as my uncle's caregiver. She truly came from above. Today is his 92nd Birthday and I can't be there, but she has made the day special for him with cake and small gifts. She also keeps close tabs on his failing health and coordinates his care excellently. She goes above and beyond what would be expected. I don't know Rihanna as well, but she, too, sounds like she cares for my uncle in a kind and positive way. My uncle can be demanding and cranky and they both do a good job maintaining an upbeat attitude. Last but not least, I appreciate Ana for juggling so many clients and caregivers, which in our own situation seem to change on a dime, yet she always comes through. Thanks again”

“I recently worked with Michelle Kramer at Always Best Care. I would recommend Michelle to anyone who is navigating Senior care for their loved one. Michelle is so knowledgeable as she has been in the industry for so long. She helped me to find places to move my dad, she knew all the answers to the hard questions that I had. Michelle was just amazing and I literally could not have moved my dad recently without her help. I also used their care facilities in July when I moved my dad to his first memory care facility to help him transition. Their caregivers were great and they were so flexible with the times that I needed someone with my dad.”

What is Non-Medical Senior Care in Tinley Park, IL?

lm-check

Home is where the heart is. While that saying can sound a tad cliche, it is especially true for many seniors living in America. When given a choice, older adults most often prefer to grow older at home. An AARP study found that three out of four adults over the age of 50 want to stay in their homes and communities as they age.

lm-check

When you begin to think about why, it makes sense. Home offers a sense of security, comfort, and familiarity.

lm-check

The truth is, as we age, we begin to rely on others for help. When a family is too busy or lives too far away to fulfill this role, in-home senior care is often the best solution. Home care services allow seniors to enjoy personal independence while also receiving trustworthy assistance from a trained caregiver.

lm-check

At Always Best Care, we offer a comprehensive range of home care services to help seniors stay healthy while they get the help they need to remain independent. As your senior loved one gets older, giving them the gift of senior care is one of the best ways to show your love, even if you live far away.

Respite Care

Respite Care Services

According to AARP, more than 53 million adults living in the U.S. provide care to someone over 50 years old. Unfortunately, these caregivers experience stress, exhaustion, and even depression. Our respite care services help family caregivers address urgent obligations, spend time with their children, and enjoy nearby activities. Perhaps more importantly, respite care gives family members time to recharge and regroup. Taking personal time to de-stress reduces the risk of caregiver burnout. So, if you've always wanted to eat at the local The Primal Cut or visit Zabrocki Plaza, don't feel bad. Doing so is great for both you and your loved one.

At the end of the day, our goal is to become a valuable part of your senior's daily routine. That way, we may help give them the highest quality of life possible. We know that staying at home is important for your loved one, and we are here to help make sure that is possible.

If you have been on the fence about non-medical home care, there has never been a better time than now to give your senior the care, assistance, and companionship they deserve.

Benefits of Home Care in Tinley Park, IL

Aging in Place: The Preferred Choice for Most Seniors

While it's true that some seniors have complicated medical needs that prevent them from staying at home, aging in place is often the best arrangement for seniors and their families. With a trusted caregiver, seniors have the opportunity to live with a sense of dignity and do so as they see fit - something that is unavailable to many older people today.

In-home care makes it possible for millions of seniors to age in place every year. Rather than moving to a strange nursing home, seniors have the chance to stay at home where they feel the happiest and most comfortable.

Here are just a few of the reasons why older men and women prefer to age at home:

How much does a senior's home truly mean to them?

A study published by the American Society on Aging found that more than half of seniors say their home's emotional value means more than how much their home is worth in monetary value. It stands to reason, then, that a senior's home is where they want to grow old.

With the help of elderly care in Tinley Park, IL, seniors don't have to age in a sterilized care facility. Instead, they can age gracefully in the place they want to be most: their home. In contrast, seniors who move to a long-term care facility must adapt to new environments, new people, and new systems that the facility implements. At this stage in life, this kind of drastic change can be more harmful than helpful.

Institutional care facilities like nursing homes often put large groups of people together to live in one location. On any given day, dozens of staff members and caregivers run in and out of these facilities. Being around so many new people in a relatively small living environment can be dangerous for a seniors' health and wellbeing. When you consider that thousands of seniors passed away in nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic, opting for in-home care is often a safer, healthier choice for seniors.

Aging in place has been shown to improve seniors' quality of life, which helps boost physical health and also helps insulate them from viral and bacterial risks found in elderly living facilities.

For many seniors, the ability to live independently with assistance from a caregiver is a priceless option. With in-home care, seniors experience a higher level of independence and freedom - much more so than in other settings like a nursing home. When a senior has the chance to age in place, they get to live life on their own terms, inside the house that they helped make into a home. More independence means more control over their personal lives, too, which leads to increased levels of fulfillment, happiness, and personal gratification. Over time, these positive feelings can manifest into a healthier, longer life.

More independence, a healthier life, and increased comfort are only a few benefits of aging in place. You have to take into consideration the role of cost and convenience. Simply put, it's usually easier and more affordable to help seniors age in place than it is to move them into an institutional care facility. According to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, seniors who age in the comfort of their homes can save thousands of dollars per month.

In-home care services from Always Best Care, for instance, are often less expensive than long-term solutions, which can cost upwards of six figures per year. To make matters worse, many residential care facilities are reluctant to accept long-term care insurance and other types of payment assistance.

With Always Best Care's home care services, seniors and their families have a greater level of control over their care plans. In-home care gives seniors the chance to form a bond with a trusted caregiver and also receive unmatched care that is catered to their needs. In long-term care facilities, seniors and their loved ones have much less control over their care plan and have less of a say in who provides their care.

Home Care Tinley Park, IL

Affordable Care

In-home care is a valuable resource that empowers seniors to age in place on their own terms. However, a big concern for many families and their loved ones is how much in-home care costs. If you're worried that in-home care is too expensive, you may be pleasantly surprised to learn that it is one of the most affordable senior care arrangements available.

Typically, hiring an Always Best Care in-home caregiver for a few hours a week is more affordable than sending your loved one to a long-term care facility. This is true even for seniors with more complex care needs.

At Always Best Care, we will work closely with you and your family to develop a Care Plan that not only meets your care needs, but your budget requirements, too. Once we discover the level of care that you or your senior need, we develop an in-home care plan that you can afford.

In addition to our flexible care options, families should also consider the following resources to help offset potential home care costs:

If your loved one qualifies, Medicaid may help reduce in-home care costs. Review your IL's Medicaid program laws and benefits, and make sure your senior's financial and medical needs meet Medicaid eligibility requirements.
Attendance and aid benefits through military service can cover a portion of the costs associated with in-home care for veterans and their spouses.
Many senior care services like in-home care are included in long-term care insurance options. Research different long-term care solutions to find a plan that provides coverage for senior care.
Home care can be included as part of a senior's private insurance plan. Read over your loved one's insurance policy carefully or speak with their insurance provider to determine if in-home care is covered.
Depending on the life insurance plan, you may be able to apply your policy toward long-term care. You may be able to use long-term-care coverage to help pay for in-home elderly care.
Home Care Tinley Park, IL

Compassionate Care. Trusted Caregivers.

When you or your senior loved one needs assistance managing daily tasks at home, finding a qualified caregiver can be challenging. It takes a special kind of person to provide reliable care for your senior loved one. However, a caregiver's role involves more than meal preparation and medication reminders. Many seniors rely on their caregivers for companionship, too.

Our companion care services give seniors the chance to socialize in a safe environment and engage in activities at home. These important efforts boost morale and provide much-needed relief from repetitive daily routines. A one-on-one, engaging conversation can sharpen seniors' minds and give them something in which to be excited.

At Always Best Care, we only hire care providers that we would trust to care for our own loved ones. Our senior caregivers in Tinley Park, IL understand how important it is to listen and communicate with their seniors. A seemingly small interaction, like a short hug goodbye, can make a major difference in a senior's day. Instead of battling against feelings of isolation, seniors begin to look forward to seeing their caregiver each week.

Understanding the nuances of senior care is just one of the reasons why our care providers are so great at their job.

Unlike some senior care companies, our caregivers must undergo extensive training before they work for Always Best Care. In addition, our caregivers receive ongoing training throughout the year. This training ensures that their standard of care matches up to the high standards we've come to expect. During this training, they will brush up on their communication skills, safety awareness, and symptom spotting. That way, your loved one receives the highest level of non-medical home care from day one.

Assisted Living Referral Services

While it's true that many seniors prefer to age at home, sometimes in-home care isn't the best fit. For those seniors and their families, choosing an assisted living facility makes more sense. Unfortunately, finding the optimal care facility is easier said than done in today's day and age. That's when Always Best Care's assisted living referral services begin to make a lot of sense.

Assisted living is a form of housing intended for seniors who require varying degrees of medical and personal attention. Accommodations may include single rooms, apartments, or shared living arrangements. Assisted living communities are typically designed to resemble a home-like environment and are physically constructed to encourage the independence of residents.

Home Care Tinley Park, IL

At assisted living communities, seniors receive help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and eating. They may also benefit from coordination of services with outside healthcare providers, and monitoring of resident activities to ensure their health, safety, and well-being. Caregivers who work at assisted living communities can also provide medication administration and personal care services for older adults.

Other services offered within assisted living communities can include some or all of the following:

  • Housekeeping
  • Laundry
  • Recreational Activities
  • Social Outings
  • Emergency Medical Response
  • Medication Monitoring
  • Family Visitation
  • Personal Care

The Summerween Market returns to Soundgrowler Brewing on Saturday, July 26.

TINLEY PARK, IL — Local artists and makers will all be putting a spooky spin on their makings for a Summerween artisan market coming to a Tinley Park brewery.

On Saturday, July 26, the Streetz Artz Alliance returns to Soundgrowler Brewing Co. in Tinley Park, bringing the eerie and the eclectic to life with the return of the Summerween Market — a spooky summertime art event packed with horror-themed creations, unique handmade goods, cosplayers, tacos, and fresh craft beer.

From 12 p.m. to 5 p.m., nearly 50 local artists and makers will fill the brewery’s indoor space and outdoor patio — rain or shine — with everything from dark décor and original artwork to gothic accessories, bone art, candles, jewelry, and wearable oddities. Every item is handmade, and each vendor is a small business owner bringing a deeply personal and creative touch to their work.

Admission is free, the event is family-friendly, and there's plenty of parking on-site at 8201 183rd St Suite P.

The event follows hot on the heels of Soundgrowler’s 8-year anniversary celebration, where the brewery debuted “Day Walkers,” a bold 12% ABV Triple IPA crafted with Amarillo and Mosaic hops. With citrus-forward flavor and a smooth caramel finish, it’s a brew that bites — and perfectly complements the bold energy of Summerween.

Curated by Streetz Artz Alliance founder John E. Streetz, the artist lineup includes returning favorites and a fresh wave of newcomers: Archangelo Crelencia, Big Monster Life, D’Mood Kreationz, Dale Zawada, Demise Decor, Disturbing Dollss/Slow Poke Sculpts, Glassbound Gardens, JLK Soaps and Such, Little Wicked Things, Rantana Creations, Scents of Time, Sweet Ghoul, Violet Weatherstone, and many more.

Marisa Dion Art returns with her signature entomology artwork, featuring ethically sourced butterflies and insects preserved in one-of-a-kind frames, clocks, and globes. She’ll also be debuting new spooky crochet work and decorative witch hats just for the show.

Morbid and Mortified brings new jewelry and accessories crafted from ethically sourced bones, while Rantana Creations unveils new horror-themed bags and accessories — including a Cult of the Lamb circle bag made specially for this event.

Scents of Time, known for their hand-poured, 100% coconut soy candles, will debut their Halloween and Fall collection, while Secondhand Nightmares promises eerie delights ranging from repurposed vintage art to creepy figurines and curiosities.

Other featured vendors include Art of Alex Kujawa, Gigawatt Coffee Roasters, Belonio Doodles, The Ancestral Oven (come early to grab their sourdough), Ten Cups Tarot (offering readings throughout the day), and dozens more.

Many participating artists also donate proceeds to charity, including organizations like St. Jude’s, Brave Space Alliance, and veterans support groups such as CFVC.

“Soundgrowler has always been an amazing brewery and a gracious host,” said event organizer John Streetz. “Summerween is one of the biggest and busiest events we produce in the south suburbs. Our artists are ready to scare and delight.”

And if the market fills up (as expected), Soundgrowler typically operates two lines: one for beer, and one for food and drink.

Vendor list includes (and is subject to change):

Please note that animals are not allowed inside the brewery, but are welcome on the outdoor patio.

TINLEY PARK, IL — Tinley Park officials will unveil the Village's $38 million project Harmony Square plaza—and they're starting with a bang.

Harmony Square will officially open to the public during a grand opening ceremony and concert from 7 to 10 p.m. Friday, July 18 at the new plaza, 6700 North St.

Activities will include a ribbon-cutting ceremony, speeches by elected officials, special deals on Village merchandise for residents, and a concert by rock band The BoDeans. Food and beverages will be available from Chick-Fil-A, Durbin's, Local One, Nothing Bundt Cake, Open Bottle, The Scoop, and Village Pizza.

The gates will open at 5:30 p.m. Expect bag checks and magnetometers at all entrances, which may result in slight delays. Visitors can bring small coolers and chairs. Rock band the BoDeans will take the stage at 7 for a free show.

“Harmony Square has been a key component of our vision for a first-class downtown for many years now, and it’s exciting to be here as it transitions from a dream to reality,” Mayor Michael Glotz said previously. “This is something that’s not just huge for Tinley Park—it’s a big win for the entire region. Harmony Square will be a draw, with economic benefits that will extend well beyond our borders.”

Pack the plaza all weekend, with the two-day Block Party July 19–20 returning in its new Harmony Square home. Bands are set for two stages. Food and drink vendors are lined up with plenty of choices.

PARKING

To accommodate the back-to-back events, the north lot at the Oak Park Avenue train station will be closed from 8 p.m. Thursday, July 17 through Monday, July 21. All south lots will remain open for commuter parking throughout both events.

Parking will be available at several locations throughout Downtown Tinley, as shown on the map below including the old Central Middle School lot, in the south parking lot at the Oak Park Avenue train station, and along Hickory Street. Please note that parking options will change slightly on Saturday morning for the Tinley Park Block Party.

Guests can also park at the 80th Avenue train station and take a complementary shuttle bus to the Oak Park Avenue train station, which is just a short walk to Harmony Square. Buses will run between the Kiss 'N' Rides at both stations.

TINLEY PARK, IL — Tinley Park officials' vision for a multi-use plaza in the downtown is on full display, with the opening of Harmony Square Friday.

The $38 million project at 6700 North Street was unveiled to the community Friday, with people exploring the fully enhanced, redesigned and open air venue on 1.6 acres at the corner of Oak Park Avenue and North Street.

The plans—which included a tear-down and rebuild of historic Teehan's Tavern, a stage and easily convertible open space—were years in the making, with construction beginning in 2024.

“Harmony Square has been a key component of our vision for a first-class downtown for many years now, and it’s exciting to be here as it transitions from a dream to reality,” Mayor Michael Glotz said previously. “This is something that’s not just huge for Tinley Park—it’s a big win for the entire region. Harmony Square will be a draw, with economic benefits that will extend well beyond our borders.”

Harmony Square highlights include a synthetic turf lawn, a water feature, a 30-by-50-foot concert stage, fire pits, a synthetic ice rink in the winter with curling lanes, a gateway pergola and much more.

"Harmony Square was designed by the Lakota Group as a 'third place' beyond work and home for residents and visitors to come to and relax," according to the Village's website.

Aerial shots shown on the Village website and spanning April 2024 to July 2025 have captured the project's progress, from empty lot to finished product.

At ground level, visitors are greeted by open space nestled within a bustling downtown. At one main entrance, visitors step under a pergola bearing the plaza's name. They're met with a clear view of the stage, with turf ready for chairs and blankets. A water feature at one end spouts fountains as a splash pad.

Harmony Square features three key buildings: one at the northeast corner of Oak Park Avenue and 173rd, a smaller building called Studio 67 at the northeast corner of the plaza, and the reconstructed Teehan's. The first building houses the stage and other key components that make it amenable for visiting bands. It features a ramp with access to the road, for visiting bands to easily move equipment as needed. Inside, a green room offers a climate-controlled space for bands to prep, or relax between sets. The stage looks out at the airy plaza, with string lights stretching overhead.

Studio 67 is a separate building designed as private rental space that can can accommodate 89 people. It's flanked by open space that can easily be cordoned off for events and VIP purposes—and it comes with its own bathrooms, small kitchen area, and views.

A concessions window accessible from outside the main building offers access to Durbin's food and drink offerings. The newly built Durbin's opened in the spring, with a rooftop bar and seating designed to overlook the plaza.

In March, the Village also reopened beloved local watering hole Teehan’s Tavern. They had purchased the rights to the name for $200,000 in 2023 and tore down the 171-year-old building, erecting a near-replica in its place. In a nod to the building's deep roots, a visual history is on display with framed photos of the cherished pub through the years.

Harmony Square will feature yearlong events (some returning, some brand new), and was envisioned to easily transition for use season-to-season, and for a wide variety of events, said Village of Tinley Park Public Information Office Jason Freeman. Events including the farmers market, Music in the Plaza, Boo Bash and Holiday Happenings will move to the plaza. It'll also host events like a season light show, movie showings, streaming sports, and community yoga classes. See a schedule of events planned for the space.

"We wanted something that was big enough to accommodate all those things but also still be cozy," Freeman said.

With its grand opening Friday night, rock band BoDeans plays a free concert. Saturday and Sunday, it hosts the Village's two-day Block Party, with bands lined up for two stages and food and drink vendors on site. That party runs from 2 to 10 p.m. Saturday, July 19 and noon to 7 p.m. Sunday, July 20 in and around Harmony Square, 6700 North St.

The project—which included overhauls to infrastructure, sidewalk and road improvements, and other miscellaneous projects—cost an estimated $38 million, Freeman said.

The Village has been earmarked all video game revenues and a portion of amusement tax revenues for the project since 2017, Freeman said, and the Village has been setting aside funds for it for 15 years. Bond proceeds were also used, he said.

"We are thrilled that Harmony Square’s grand opening is finally here," Mayor Michael Glotz told Patch. "This development has been a long time in the making. We are so excited to see the benefits that this development will bring to Tinley Park and the entire region."

British legend Rod Stewart brought his One Last Time Tour to Tinley Park’s Credit Union 1 Amphitheatre for one last hurrah.

At 80 years old, Rod Stewart proves he’s still got what it takes to draw the crowds. The Credit Union 1 Amphitheatre was filled with fans ready to catch one last show. Although this has been billed as his last tour, his performance proved he’s still going strong, and these days we’ve had our fair share of farewell tours that weren’t.

He brought a setlist full of hits, giving the crowd plenty of opportunities to sing along. And sing along, they did. The 22-song set included hits such as “Maggie May,” “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy,” and “Forever Young,” the latter of which was dedicated to Ozzy Osborne. This was a show that drew both old and young, with songs that everyone would know. The setlist spanned his 63-year career, including songs such as “Stay With Me” from his days with Faces. He also incorporated a number of covers, which he put his signature stamp on, such as Cat Stevens’ “The First Cut Is The Deepest,” Bonnie Tyler’s “It’s A Heartache,” and “It Takes Two,” which was dedicated to Tina Turner, with whom he originally covered this song.

Stewart proved he’s still every bit the showman, and he still has the rockstar swagger as he kept the audience’s attention throughout the night. He was clearly born to be an entertainer.

The show was everything you would expect from a Rod Stewart concert, with his trademark raspy voice and the rockstar outfits. The ample-sized accompanying musicians and the large video screens helped pull the whole performance together. This show certainly brought a taste of Vegas to Tinley Park.

While this may or may not be the last time Stewart tours, it’s not one to risk. Do yourself a favor and get those tickets if he’s coming to a venue near you. You can add another legend to your list of “I’ve seen them!” The Tinley Park crowd was clearly glad they were in attendance, despite the excruciatingly hot temperatures. Throughout the night, the seated venue attendees were on their feet, dancing and singing away to the classics. One fan in the front row who was wearing a Rod Stewart wig had his moment of fame as he ended up on the big screens, receiving cheers of approval from the rest of the crowd. However, you didn’t need to be an avid Rod Stewart follower to know the songs and be able to participate. These were all songs you’ve heard numerous times before.

There are still a handful of Stateside dates left, along with a residency at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, so this is your warning to jump on those tickets while you can.

ORLAND PARK, Ill. (WLS) -- Tinley Park is telling the state to bring a DMV to the southwest suburb.

It comes days after Orland Township leaders voted to close the secretary of state's office on 149th Street.

Tinley's mayor told ABC7 they've got plenty of room.

Orland Township trustees voted not to renew their lease with the Secretary of State's office, which runs the Illinois' largest DMV out of their township building.

Orland Park leaders cited security and safety concerns with the DMV at that location at Ravinia and 149th Street and not enough parking, they say, for the traffic it brings.

Well now, the mayor of neighboring Tinley Park has raised his hand, saying they'd like to have the DMV in their village.

Mayor Michael Glotz said he's identified two locations he thinks would be a great fit, with plenty of parking, and wouldn't interfere with any businesses.

Mayor Glotz said, being the largest DMV in the southland region, it brings a lot of people, ready to spend money.

"And so with that comes what?" Mayor Glotz said. "It comes with a lot of traffic. It comes with a lot of people stopping at your gas stations, your grocery stores, your restaurants. There's an economic value through sales tax that they bring to a community. So we would welcome with open arms to them. I know our residents want them."

The Tinley Park mayor saidhe reached out to the Secretary of State's office about their interest in moving the DMV to Tinley Park.

In a statement, the Illinois Secretary of State's Office said, "Secretary Giannoulias is working aggressively to find a solution aimed at solving the problem that the township created. He's assigned a team to explore all options to serve local residents, including offers from neighboring communities that are excited to welcome a Secretary of State facility in their town"
