Your parents sold the house in Ohio and moved to a townhouse in Geneva to be near you and the grandchildren. It was the right decision, and the first year has been lonely: new doctors, new streets, no friends from church, and you at work all day. Senior companion services Geneva IL families arrange with Guided with Grace help a newcomer settle in, with a regular companion who drives, explores the town with them and helps them find their own people here.
Our companion care is company, errands and outings on a regular schedule. For someone new to Geneva the companion is also a guide to the town and a bridge to its clubs, churches and senior programs.
Once they have settled, many families keep the companion for the social side of the week. If needs change, personal care can be added to the same visits, and our dementia-trained caregivers are there if memory becomes a concern.
Moving late in life is harder than it looks. These are the situations we see most.
They moved to be near family and know nobody else. A companion helps them build a life here.
New town and no car is a lonely combination. A companion drives until they know the bus and Ride in Kane.

You moved them close, but you are busy. A companion shares the load.
Geneva has a lot for newcomers once someone shows them where to start.
The Geneva Township Senior Center at 400 Wheeler Drive (630-232-3602) serves township residents 55 and older with a large social hall and a calendar of activities, and is often the best first stop for making friends. The Geneva Police Department’s Operation Senior Care lets residents 60 and older register emergency information, a sensible step for someone new in town. Senior Services Associates, the Area Agency on Aging member agency for Kane County, runs a volunteer Senior Companion program for eligible residents and can point families to other programs.
Ride in Kane provides curb-to-curb rides for Kane County residents 65 and older, now with one registration and call line at (630) 762-2600, for days without a companion. Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital is in Geneva, which makes finding new doctors easier. AgeGuide’s Family Caregiver Support Program (1-800-528-2000) supports the adult children who arranged the move.
