A Caring Concept “To Help You Be At Home”
Home is the most comfortable place to be. Often, our aging parents or grandparents have lived in their homes for 30, 40 or 50 years. Many are medically unstable and not in need of skilled nursing and have no desire to leave the homes they love solely for companionship or housekeeping assistance. Our work or other commitments may make it difficult or impossible to provide the assistance our loved one needs.
This is precisely the purpose for which A Caring Concept was created. Located in Chicago at 3601 West Devon Ave, Suite 300-5 phone (773) 539-6600. A Caring Concept provides a variety of services to the elderly. They can accompany your loved one to doctor appointments, the grocery store, post office or on other errands. Dennis Lemke and associates combine more than 36 years of experience in referral of in-home givers. They are carefully screened, and can provide companionship during the long hours when family members are at work. Owner Dennis Lemke is personal available to all clients on a 24-hour basis. Services include cleaning, cooking and other personal care services.
Familiar surroundings, comfort and security are important. A Caring Concept is committed to ensuring that their clients can remain safely, for as long as they are medically able, in the home that has been so much a part of their lives. Contact A Caring Concept for more information on their services and rates.
A Caring Concept is licensed, bonded and insured.

In October 2001, I was referred to A Caring Concept, Inc. as a resource to provide non-medical home care for the Ken Mulliken Family. I contacted Dennis Lemke and Laura Harley of A Caring Concept and engaged their services.
During the past 15 months, I have called on both Dennis and Laura on a 24 hour/7 day a week basis, to meet any immediate needs or concerns.
As an unpaid executor for the Mulliken Family, with a full time job and family, I have found the services of A Caring Concept to be of great help to me, and I would recommend their services without hesitation.E.J. Gorey

My parents Morris and Lillian Cipinko became in need of some help in their home. At that time, I was referred to and contacted A Caring Concept.
In the beginning, my parents needed help 8-9 hours a day, 7 days a week. As they were feeling better and needed less help Dennis and Laura worked to meet their needs and again they were successful.
I have found the personal attention and contact, from the staff of A Caring Concept, to be of great help to my parents and myself.

My father is Homer Nevels and has been seriously ill for several years now. I began using the services of A Caring Concept in October 2001. As of February 2003, I still have the same caregiver in place, who was referred to me by Dennis and Laura.
I have found that I still have personal contact with both, Dennis and/or Laura, at A Caring Concept, and have called on them several times to help with other short term care situations. I have always received personal and professional service, and I receive an immediate response any time of day. I find the service of A Caring Concept to be of high quality.
