How Max can help

Support for the whole day, not just the to-do list.

Care should preserve dignity, independence, and the familiar rhythm of home. Every visit is shaped around the person—not a checklist.

Companionship

Conversation, games, puzzles, walks, and genuine one-on-one time shaped around what your loved one enjoys.

02

Personal care

Respectful support with bathing, dressing, grooming, and the routines that help each day feel comfortable.

03

Everyday support

Light cleaning, meal preparation, and thoughtful help keeping the home calm, familiar, and cared for.

04

Transportation

Dependable rides to and from appointments, errands, and other important places around the Chicago suburbs.

Proper At Home Care provides non-medical support and does not provide nursing or clinical services.

A job that found me

Caregiving became part of my life story.

I began caring professionally by chance while I was between jobs. What I expected to be temporary became something deeply meaningful. Five years later, caregiving has introduced me to remarkable people with a wide range of needs—and shaped my own growth along the way.

Much of my experience has been with people living with Alzheimer’s, along with clients who need support communicating their wishes. My strength is patient listening: finding the best way for each person to be understood, then building trust from there.

A thoughtful approach

A good day starts with the person.

There is no one-size-fits-all routine. The best care follows your loved one’s interests, energy, and way of communicating.

01

Listen

Notice the small cues, make space for expression, and understand what would make today feel good.

02

Connect

Share a puzzle, table game, walk, conversation, or activity that brings genuine engagement.

03

Support

Help with personal routines and practical needs while preserving choice, dignity, and comfort.
