About us
SYNERGY HomeCare of Plainfield is owned by Kyana and Bailey Wilkinson. It exists because of what Kyana learned at fifteen, caring for her father.
When Kyana was fifteen, her father was diagnosed with ALS. She became one of his caregivers — and learned, far earlier than most people do, what it actually takes to look after someone you love at home, and how much difference the right help makes.
That experience set the direction for everything after. She began working as a home care aide for SYNERGY HomeCare in 2013. She became a registered nurse in 2018 and worked in acute care, long-term care and hospice, specializing in geriatrics and rehabilitation.
When she and Bailey moved back toward her Chicago-area home with two boys in tow, they opened SYNERGY HomeCare of Plainfield — an agency run by someone who has been the family member, the aide, and the nurse.
We know what it is like to be the one figuring this out. That is the whole reason we answer the phone at two in the morning.
Kyana Wilkinson shares what brought her to home care and why she and Bailey opened SYNERGY HomeCare of Plainfield.
We help you sort through what is happening at home before you need to name a perfect care plan.
Begin with the hours you need now and adjust as routines, recovery or family circumstances change.
Our owners understand the family side, the caregiver side and the practical details that make help reliable.

Owner, Director of Operations — MSDA
Bailey grew up working alongside his father in the family business, selling handcrafted classic fishing lures and tackle across the Midwest. He brings a sales and data analytics background to running the agency.
He is responsible for operations, systems and training — the infrastructure that makes reliable scheduling and consistent caregiver matching possible.
Four principles guide every SYNERGY HomeCare agency. They are the standard we hire, train and measure against.
We take a strong lead with a kind hand, and make sure you understand what is happening at every step.
We keep things clear and simple, and remove obstacles rather than adding to them.
We serve beyond the job description and take ownership of how things turn out.
We listen and ask questions, because that is the only way to learn how to help someone specific.
As a Home Services Agency, we provide non-medical adult home care services, including personal care, homemaker and companion services. We do not provide skilled nursing, therapy, or childcare services.
You are welcome at the office on Route 59, or we can come to you. Either way, the first conversation costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
