Caregiver Requirements

We require a background investigation through the Illinois State Police and thorough reference checks. Caregivers must have a good standing in the Health Care Worker Registry provided by the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH).

In addition to their previous experience, our caregivers are fully trained based on both state licensing requirements and Optimum's own professional standards.

Caregiver Supervision

At Optimum Senior Care all caregivers are supervised by the Home Care Supervisor. The Home Care Supervisor ensures that the caregiver understands and follows the clients Care Plan. The Home Care Supervisor makes supervisory visits to evaluate the caregiver's performance and the quality of care, while updating the Care Plan on an ongoing basis.
