Home Care in Highland Park
The kind of care that brings peace of mind to the whole family.
Personalized support that respects your loved one's routine.
Concerned About Your Loved One Living Alone?
There's a particular kind of worry that comes with distance, and it surfaces during ordinary moments. We take that worry off your plate, with home care in Highland Park.
Always Responsive Home Care was founded in 2010 by Teresa Sajkowski, RN, after more than two decades working in hospitals, hospice facilities, and home care environments. What she understood from those years wasn't just clinical — it was deeply personal.
Teresa knew that families needed a care partner who showed up with the same attentiveness and investment they would bring themselves. That's the standard she set for this agency, and it's what Highland Park families experience from the very first call.
What Families Are Saying
Testimonial: The caregivers' patience and kindness have made a huge difference for my mom.
Home Care Services We Provide
We offer non-medical in-home care built around your loved one's specific situation — with the flexibility to expand or scale back as their needs evolve.
24-Hour / Live-In / Overnight Care
Some loved ones thrive with a few hours of help each day. Others need a reliable presence from morning through night. For those situations, our live-in home care and overnight team bring the sustained, attentive care that keeps households running safely regardless of the hour.
Palliative Care
When someone you love is managing a serious illness, the last thing they should have to worry about is whether their daily needs are being met. We handle the practical details of palliative care — personal care, routines, comfort — while you focus on the relationship.
Alzheimer's & Dementia Care
Memory loss doesn't change what your loved one deserves. Our caregivers approach Alzheimer's and dementia care with trained and patient understanding of how to build trust with clients who may struggle to express what they need.
How In-Home Care Supports Independence and Well-Being
Aging in your Highland Park home successfully isn't about doing everything alone; it's about having the right support in place so that living independently remains realistic and safe.
Depending on what your loved one needs, support might include:
- Morning and evening routines managed with care and consistency
- Nutrition-focused meal preparation suited to their health and taste
- Support getting around the home safely, reducing fall risk
- Companionship that counters isolation and supports emotional well-being
- Medication reminders to keep health management on track
- A calm, reliable nighttime presence for those who find evenings difficult
- A care plan that stays current as their situation changes

Answers to Common Home Care Questions
When should we consider home care?
Any time daily living starts to feel less safe or sustainable than it should. It doesn't require a specific medical event; sometimes it's a slow accumulation of small things that finally add up to a clear picture. If life at home is getting harder to manage, it's worth a conversation.
How do you match caregivers to clients?
We spend time learning about your loved one before we recommend anyone. Their temperament, their daily rhythm, what matters to them and what puts them on edge — all of that shapes who we believe will be the right fit.
What happens if our caregiver calls out?
We don't put the burden of solving that on your family. Backup coverage is a standing part of how we staff, and we communicate proactively when anything changes so your loved one's day stays on track without disruption.
Is home care affordable for most families?
In many cases, more so than families expect. Costs depend on the scope and frequency of care, and long-term care insurance — if your loved one has a policy — can cover a significant portion. We'll explain the numbers clearly and handle insurance filings ourselves.
