Every Independence Day, we pause to honor the heroes who gave everything. Some of their names are lost to history – but their bravery is not.

This past July 4th, Home Helpers® Home Care CEO & President Emma Dickison had the extraordinary honor of laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, with proud U.S. Veteran and Home Helpers® Home Care franchisee, David Conolly, who serves the Tri-Cities, VA community.

This moment held deep personal meaning for Emma, whose father bravely served during WWII with the 83rd Army "Thunderbolt" Infantry Division. He came home. So many others did not.

At Home Helpers®, we proudly stand beside our nation’s heroes—Veterans who continue their legacy of service as franchisees and Caregivers, delivering exceptional care in communities across the country. We’re also deeply honored to care for those who once served. Their stories inspire us every day, and we take great pride in Taking Care of the Greatest Generation … Yours.®💙

Today and every day, we remember. We honor. And we give thanks.

At Home Helpers® Home Care, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all care. Every senior deserves a plan that fits their unique needs, goals, and personality because growing older should still mean growing well.

🌟 Celebrating 17 Remarkable Years 🌟
Please join us in recognizing Rosie, who just celebrated 17 years as a Caregiver with Home Helpers of Hinsdale!

Rosie is one of the kindest, most warm-hearted, and skilled Caregivers you will ever meet. Over nearly two decades, she has supported dozens of clients with compassion, grace, and deep faith. One of her most recent clients, Mike—a World War II veteran—thought the world of Rosie. They formed a special bond as she helped him age in place in Brookfield, and it was clear on every visit how much he appreciated and cared for her.

We could share countless stories like that—because Rosie truly sets the bar for what it means to be a Caregiver. She’s a blessing to our team and to every family she’s served.

Thank you, Rosie. You inspire us all!

Celebrating 20 Years of Home Helpers of Hinsdale!

Last week, we celebrated 20 incredible years in business — and I’m so grateful to everyone who helped make it possible: our franchisee founders Mary and Michael Doepke, our amazing team, our referral partners, our clients and their families, and my own family.

Mary and Mike started Home Helpers of Hinsdale in 2005 and built it into one of the largest and highest-rated agencies in Illinois. I first met Mike in 2017 through a lucky networking connection (thank you, Dave Onion!) after leaving my role as Chief Marketing Officer at Edward-Elmhurst Health. At 52, with two kids in college, I was looking for my next chapter — and found myself intrigued by the personal, meaningful impact of home care.

What started as a 15-minute meeting with Mike Doepke turned into a nine-month journey — and eventually, the honor of taking ownership of this amazing agency in 2018. Since then, it’s been a tremendous learning experience. Home care is a deeply personal and demanding business, filled with both ups and downs.

We've faced challenges big and small — none bigger than the COVID-19 pandemic — but through it all, we stayed focused on the heart of what we do: helping families in need.

We’ve grown our territories, built on the Doepke's incredible foundation, and today we’re proud to be rated #1 in Illinois for caregiver and client satisfaction. More importantly, we’ve stayed true to the values that guide every decision we make: Respect, Integrity, Compassion, and Excellence.

I have also had the privilege of connecting almost daily with my lifelong pal and fellow Home Helpers franchisee Jason Janoski who has built an awesome business Home Helpers of Columbus!

I’m grateful beyond words to my wife Dominica Duda Davis, LCSW, CADC and three sons -- Blaise, Noah, and Grady -- our Office Staff and Caregivers, our clients and their families, and every referral source and vendor who has supported us along the way.

Here’s to the past 20 years — and to the years still to come!

I'm back from an amazing week at the Home Helpers National Conference in Nashville!

The theme was Innovate to Elevate, and we’re bringing home new ideas, energy, and gratitude. I spoke on a panel with Heather Deringer and Carl & Jody Amspaugh, moderated by Michael Gonzalez, a former neighboring franchisee who’s now on the Home Helpers National Support team and my performance coach. I shared some of the caregiver recruiting and retention strategies that came straight from the smart, dedicated people on our office staff team.

A proud moment was stepping onstage with Home Helpers of Hinsdale Care Manager Alicia Smith to accept our Top 100 award from Activated Insights—recognizing the incredible work of our 100+ caregivers and staff.

I also got to share the stage for a moment with CEO Emma Dickinson, and catch up with our fantastic Chicago COOP group of franchisees.

Thank you to everyone who made the week so memorable. Charlotte, here we come! 🏆🎤🌆

Mmmmm! You can almost taste it, can't you?
It's a good day when Caregiver Lily, who looks similar to and shares characteristics with Mother Teresa, makes lasagna for the Office Staff just to thank them for all their kindness.

🌟 Thank you for trusting us with your care! 🌟

We are honored to share this heartfelt review from one of our cherished clients:

"Our family is so grateful for Home Helpers Home Care of Hinsdale. They provided care to our mom for 6-1/2 years - starting when she needed just a few hours of help each day for shopping, errands, laundry, etc. to the end of her life when she needed 24/7 help with everything. Our mom’s caregivers were smart! experienced! loving and attentive! You know an agency is tops when the caregivers themselves say it is the best around. The office staff was equally excellent - they were responsive, stepped in fast, never left us in the lurch, and took all our picky requests (especially during COVID) in stride. Thanks to Home Helpers, our mom was blessed to live her life as she wanted to, in the comfort of her beloved home."

Are you aware of Fisher House? I wasn't until our Home Helpers Caregivers started providing home care services to Veterans several years ago. Today our Office Staff volunteered to provide meals at Fisher House for military families with loved ones Hines VA Hospital. Fisher House is right next to Hines and is a "home away from home” for family members, caregivers or loved ones of patients receiving medical care at major military and VA medical centers. It is a temporary residence and is not a treatment facility, hospice or counseling center. By law, there is no charge for any family to stay at a Fisher House operated by the Department of Veterans Affairs. The video below gives you a quick tour of the house and background via the Fisher House Foundation.
