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.
