Home care in Montgomery and Boulder Hill
The 60538 area covers Montgomery and Boulder Hill, on the Fox River between Aurora and Oswego.
Boulder Hill is worth talking about specifically. It was built in the late 1950s and 1960s as one of the region’s first large planned subdivisions, and a striking number of original buyers — or their children — are still there. It is a genuine neighborhood, in a way newer developments are still working toward.
A neighborhood that already looks after itself
Families in Boulder Hill often already have informal support: a neighbor who checks in, a church that notices when someone stops attending, adult children a few streets away.
That changes what people need from us. It is rarely everything. It is usually the specific thing the neighbors cannot do — the bathing, the overnight, the reliable weekday ride to Rush Copley.
We are comfortable being one part of a support system rather than replacing it.
Older homes, practical problems
The housing stock here is sixty-odd years old. Split-levels, stairs to the bedrooms, laundry in the basement, bathrooms that were never designed for a walker.
A lot of what makes staying at home difficult in Montgomery is architectural rather than medical. Some of it we solve with a caregiver present at the right times of day; some of it is worth a conversation about small changes to the house. We will tell you honestly which is which.
Getting to appointments
Most medical care for this area is in Aurora, with some families going to Delnor in Geneva. Transportation is a significant part of what we do here.
