Meet the Owner and General Manager of Comfort Keepers Chicago!
Itay's passion for eldercare developed as a young man. During his summer vacations Itay spent months caring for his elderly uncle; preparing meals, escorting him on walks, and providing companionship that helped him feel connected and valued.
As a psychology student Itay participated in clinical work that helped to connect under-served seniors with community resources. After seeing the growing need for reliable and trustworthy care, he decided to invest his energy into providing long term solutions for seniors and persons with disabilities, assuring they could remain comfortable and independent in their own homes. In 2010 Itay opened Comfort Keepers Chicago and joined a network of over 700 home care offices serving the senior population.
As an owner, Itay understands that each client’s unique situation requires customized and flexible solutions. He is directly involved in every step of the process, from initial client assessments to on-going supervisory visits. Itay is a Juris Doctor and holds a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Romance languages from the University of North Carolina.
Itay is fluent in Italian, Hebrew, and knows his way around the Hindi language. Itay is a proud father of two, Avi and Jai. In his free time he enjoys spending quality time with his wife and sons, volunteering at his local food bank, cooking delicious Mediterranean foods, and playing tennis.
