Find Senior Living and Care Options
Making the right care decision for your loved one can be a daunting task filled with stress, tension and pressure. There are so many assisted living, memory care, nursing, and other care options available in West-Southwest of Chicago - the terminology is often unfamiliar. Senior Care Authority® will streamline the process to make it easier for you to make an informed decision.
Our national team of Senior Care Advisors spends countless hours inspecting locations, from mid-to-larger size communities as well as smaller, residential care homes, meeting the staff and reviewing state reports to advise you of any citations that may have been issued against a particular location.
A Senior Care Advisor will meet personally with you to discuss your options, accompany you on visits to locations and ensure that all your questions are answered. The hallmark of our service commitment is that we are by your side every step of the way. We would be happy to put you in contact with an advisor in your area who will provide you with expert advice on any of the assisted living locations listed in our directory of locations.

Sometimes our families just need more help with challenging transitions and decision-making. This may include facilitating essential conversations between family members, home care agency or caregiver selection, connections to valuable resources or regular visitations with a loved one providing "peace of mind" to family members when they are unable to visit themselves.
It can be comforting to have someone partner with you who is outside the emotional landscape of the family, doing research, talking to providers, organizing paperwork, or finding those "needle in a haystack" resources. A go-to person you can turn to when things get overwhelming. Whatever the need, we can customize our services for your family or provide you with vetted referral sources.

About Jeralyn Bieniek
Jeralyn has spent most of her career in sales and contract management. Working with long term care communities, she quickly recognized the different quality of services that each community provided. Looking to enter into a service related business, Jeralyn and her sister JoEllyn wanted to make a difference in their community by helping other families navigate the challenges in finding exceptional senior care. They both recognized the need for assistance with the decision making process when their Grandmother was no longer capable of living on her own. As her care needs evolved they had to determine the best course of action. When they noticed that Chicago didn't have a resource for personalized guidance with placing a loved one, they decided to join the Senior Care Authority team to make a difference in their community.
"Helping others find the right resources for their loved ones is a rewarding career".
They now use their passion and skills to assist seniors and their families in finding the right senior living and memory care communities in the Chicagoland area.
