About Elara Caring
Elara Caring has been providing skilled home health, behavioral health, hospice, and personal care services in Des Plaines, Illinois, and the surrounding Chicago area since 1997. The local teams focus on delivering high-quality, patient-centered care at home, with services including skilled nursing, therapy, mental health support, hospice care, and assistance with daily activities. The company aims to ensure safety, comfort, and continuity of care for patients with various health conditions. Many families have expressed gratitude for the care provided by Elara Caring. Clients have praised the physical and occupational therapists, as well as in-home nurses, for their accommodating and compassionate service. One individual noted the exceptional support received during a hospice situation, appreciating the team's understanding during an emotional time. However, some clients have experienced difficulties with customer service, particularly regarding the return of refundable deposits. While care staff received positive feedback, issues arose when families sought refunds after transitioning to assisted living facilities. Despite these challenges, Elara's management team responded to concerns and facilitated resolutions, leading to improved satisfaction for some clients. Overall, Elara Caring is recognized for its dedicated care but has room for improvement in customer service, particularly in handling financial matters.
My mom has been using the services of Elara Caring for about a year and we've been very pleased. From great PT with Jay, OT from Andres, and in home nurses Chris and Maria, everyone has been so accommodating, go above and beyond, and as their name says, Caring! I'm forever grateful.
Elara did a great job working with my Aunt while in hospice. Their care and concern went above and beyond. My sisters and I are very greatful for the help and understanding during this very emotional time. Thank you.

She stated we would get it. We did not get it. Becky Trinidad of Elara caring would not return my calls any more or answer...read full review
