Understanding your options
What is non-medical home care?
Non-medical home care is practical, person-to-person support with everyday life. A caregiver comes to the home to help with routines such as bathing and dressing, meals, light housekeeping, errands, transportation, reminders and genuine companionship.
It is different from skilled nursing or clinical care. The goal is to help your loved one remain safe, comfortable and connected in familiar surroundings while giving family caregivers reliable support.

About Us
SYNERGY HomeCare of Schaumburg is owned and operated by husband-and-wife team Paul and Dr. Shelley Fisher. For eight years, their team has helped families throughout Schaumburg and surrounding communities with companion care, personal care and respite care.
For the Fishers, caregiving is personal. Paul’s family caregiving experiences and Shelley’s background as a Doctor of Social Work shaped their shared commitment to helping people age comfortably at home.
Paul brings a career built on relationships and connecting with others. Shelley brings deep expertise in family dynamics and elder care, along with her work teaching graduate social work students at Aurora University. Together, they believe care should respect each person’s needs, background, and familiar routines.
Their own family members have benefited from aging in place. Helping other families experience that same support is at the heart of their work.
