ARIS at home ARIS provides quality, compassionate, in home care for you or a loved one. The difference is in our name. That is when the idea of ARIS at home became a reality!

ARIS is proud to stand for a new level of private home care focused on the values that fit you and your family's needs. The ARIS Story Told by Travis Slaby - Co-Owner

ARIS at home officially opened for business February 8, 2011. Before ARIS became a company, Co-owner, Dan Grycza, and I met while working for a medical home care company in 2006. We both shared the passion for providing quality home care to clients in their own homes and strived every day to make sure our clients at the time had proper care. In 2010, we both realized there was a vast population of people needing non-medical home care and thought maybe we could โ€œjoin forcesโ€ in a business that focuses on just that.... non-medical in home care. To understand what ARIS is about, you have to get to know the people of this company. I, Travis Slaby, have been interested in helping people since I can remember. My mother has been a caregiver my whole entire life so I guess you can say it was in my family genes. She was actually a big part of this company for many years before she retired at the end of 2020. It fills my heart with joy to know I can make a difference in a personโ€™s life. I know that sounds cheesy, but it is true. I actually started out doing internet marketing right out of college. That didnโ€™t work out and in 2002 I was told about a job opening in my hometown of Cleveland, Ohio for a โ€œHealthcare Recruiterโ€ position. I figured if I landed that job I can keep afloat and continue to look for another one that was right for me. Well, it turned out that was the right job for me. The normal definition of โ€œHealthcare Recruiterโ€ was not attached to this job. Yes, we did recruit RNs, LPNs and caregivers, but most of the job was managing our home care clientโ€™s caregiver schedules and solving many different problems and situations every day. It was hard work, but I fell in love with it when I started hearing the sincere โ€œthank youโ€ time and time again from my clients and employees when I came to their aide due to a problem. I fell in love that year with home care and 13 months later that dedication brought me to Chicago where I was promoted to take over one of my companyโ€™s home care offices in Oak Park. The rest is history. I have been in Chicago for many years and have done nothing but home health care. Everything from recruiting, scheduling and business development. Dan Grycza has been involved in providing service to people for many years as well. His service career began as a server in a restaurant. He has always enjoyed being able to please people and bring a smile to their face. He has been in home health care since 2006, with his first position being a home health care recruiter/scheduler. Dan possesses that passion for prolonging the quality of life to this day. Charmain Coleman is our Director of Home Services. Charmain started with ARIS at the very beginning as a caregiver in the field. Charmain quickly became a vital part of the ARIS team in the field. Her dedication, reliability and compassion was on display each and every day she worked with her clients. In 2012, Charmain was promoted to part of our office staff as our Home Care Liaison. In 2015, our Director stepped down to take a more educational role and appointed Charmain the new Director of Home Services. Charmainโ€™s focus on the clientโ€™s well being is surpassed by no-one and even steps into the field to perform care if needed. Tawana King is our Home Services Liaison. Now, that title does not give Tawana credit for the multiple hats she wears. Tawana works to recruit new caregivers, schedule current caregivers, provides HR support, assists our clients with their concerns, along with anything else that is needed. Oh, also, did I mention she is a certified nursing assistant and provides care for our clients if needed. she is a essential part of the ARIS team! Our Caregivers in the field are the true heroes of ARIS at home. We strive to hire the most compassionate caregivers that prove to us they have the experience to provide the care each of our clients deserve. Many of our caregivers are Certified Nursing Assistants and prefer the 1 on 1 focused care of In Home Care that facilities cannot provide. We are also very proud of our Non-CNA caregivers, which are fully qualified, wonderful caregivers that are dedicated to their clients. We have a saying at ARIS....โ€Our clients AND our caregivers are #1!โ€

๐Ÿ™‹ Can we get an honest show of hands?

Because when most of us signed up for this โ€” nobody handed us a job description. Nobody said "hey, just so you know, you'll also need to become a medical expert, a logistics coordinator, and a walking pharmacy โ€” all while questioning whether you're even doing it right." ๐Ÿ˜…

And yet here you are. Doing all of it. Every single day.

The part that really gets us? That last one. After everything โ€” the appointments, the medications, the scheduling, the sleepless nights, the googling at 2am โ€” so many caregivers still go to bed feeling like they didn't do enough. ๐Ÿ’”

So let us say it clearly, in case nobody has lately:

You are doing MORE than enough.

More than most people could. More than most people even know. And the fact that you still worry about whether it's enough? That's not a sign that you're falling short. That's a sign of just how deeply you love. ๐Ÿ’™

You deserve support just as much as the person you're caring for. ARIS at home is here to help carry some of that weight โ€” so you can keep showing up without running completely empty.

๐Ÿ“ž Call us at (708) 934-4676 โ€” we'd love to talk about what that support could look like for your family.

๐Ÿ  "But how do I know I can trust who's coming into our home?" That's one of the first things families ask us. And honestly? It's exactly the right question to ask. ๐Ÿ’™

Letting someone into your home โ€” into your loved one's most personal space โ€” is a big deal. We never take that lightly. And we never expect you to just take our word for it.

So here's exactly what happens before anyone ever walks through your door:

1๏ธโƒฃ Assessment โ€” We get to know your loved one, their needs, their personality, and what matters most to your family. No cookie-cutter plans here.

2๏ธโƒฃ Caregiver match โ€” We don't just assign whoever's available. We thoughtfully match based on compatibility, skills, and personality. Because the right fit makes all the difference. ๐Ÿ’›

3๏ธโƒฃ Meet before care begins โ€” Your loved one meets their caregiver BEFORE the first day. No surprises. No strangers showing up unannounced.

4๏ธโƒฃ Feedback & adjustments โ€” We check in. We listen. And if something isn't working, we fix it. Simple as that.

No pressure. No rushed decisions. Just a thoughtful, human process designed to make your family feel safe and confident every step of the way. ๐Ÿ™

Because trust isn't given โ€” it's built. And we take that seriously.

๐Ÿ“ž Call us at (708) 934-4676 or visit arisathome.com/contact to take that first step.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Follow ARIS at home for caregiver tips, support, and a team that actually earns your trust.

๐Ÿ’™ These four lines? They come straight from real families. Real caregivers. Real conversations we've had over the years.

And every single time we share them, the response is the same โ€” "how did you know that was exactly what I needed to hear?"

Because the truth is, most caregivers don't reach out until they're already running on empty. Already past the point of burnout. Already wishing they'd done something differently months โ€” sometimes years โ€” ago. ๐Ÿ˜”

And that last one. "Remembered I'm a person too." ๐Ÿ’”

That one hits different. Because somewhere in the middle of all the appointments and medications and sleepless nights and constant worry, it is so easy to disappear into the role completely. To forget that you had a life, needs, and a self that still matters.

So if any of these feel a little too familiar today โ€” that's not a coincidence. That's a sign.

You don't have to wait for a crisis. You don't have to burn out before you reach out. And you are absolutely, 100% allowed to start before you feel ready. ๐Ÿ’›

ARIS at home is here โ€” for the small first steps, the backup plans, and everything in between.

๐Ÿ“ž Call us at (708) 934-4676 โ€” one conversation could change everything.

They showed up when it mattered most. Now it's our turn.

Veterans spent years putting others first โ€” their family, their community, their country. And when it comes time for them to need a little support at home, they deserve care that honors that service. Not just adequate care. Exceptional care. With real respect and dignity. ๐Ÿ’™

If you have a veteran in your life โ€” a parent, a spouse, a grandparent โ€” who is starting to need a little more help at home, we want you to know that ARIS at home is here specifically for families like yours.

We serve veterans throughout Cook, DuPage & Lake County with:

๐Ÿ  In-home personal care + homemaker support
๐Ÿงญ Help navigating next steps โ€” so you're never figuring it out alone
๐Ÿ’› Care delivered with the respect and dignity they've earned

Navigating veteran benefits and care options can feel overwhelming. We've helped a lot of families work through it โ€” and we're happy to help yours too.

Ask us about our Veteran Care options. One conversation could open doors you didn't even know were available. ๐Ÿ™

๐Ÿ˜ค "I don't need anyone coming into my house." Sound familiar? You're not alone โ€” and your loved one isn't just being difficult. ๐Ÿ’™

Here's something that took a lot of families by surprise: resistance to help is usually rooted in fear, not stubbornness. Fear of losing independence. Fear of strangers. Fear of what accepting help might mean about where they are in life.

When you understand that, the whole conversation shifts.

So instead of pushing harder โ€” try a different angle altogether:

1๏ธโƒฃ Don't call it 'care' at first โ€” words matter more than you think
2๏ธโƒฃ Start with companionship โ€” a friendly face, not a caregiver
3๏ธโƒฃ Give them choices โ€” time, tasks, even who shows up
4๏ธโƒฃ Frame it as independence โ€” help that keeps them home longer
5๏ธโƒฃ Try just one week โ€” low stakes, no big commitment

Sometimes the door doesn't open with a push. Sometimes it opens with patience, the right words, and a really small first step. ๐Ÿšช๐Ÿ’›

We've helped a lot of families navigate exactly this โ€” and we're happy to talk through what might work for yours.

๐Ÿ“ž Call us at (708) 934-4676 โ€” no pressure, just real conversation.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Follow ARIS at home for practical caregiver tips, support, and strategies that actually work.

๐Ÿ™‹ Not ready for a big commitment? That's okay. Start small.

We hear it all the time โ€” "I'm not sure we're ready for full-time help." And honestly? You don't have to be. Nobody says you have to go all in on day one. ๐Ÿ’™

Because here's what most caregivers don't realize until they try it:

Even 4 hours a week changes everything.

That's not an exaggeration. Four hours is enough to actually sleep in. Run errands without rushing. Make it to that appointment you've been putting off for three months. Sit down and eat a meal without one eye on the clock. ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

And while you're doing that?

โœ… You get a real, actual break
โœ… Your loved one gets support AND company
โœ… You start building a routine you can grow when you're ready

No giant leap required. Just one small, manageable first step that works for YOUR family, on YOUR timeline.

That's how most of our families started โ€” small. And most of them will tell you they only wish they'd done it sooner. ๐Ÿ’›

ARIS at home makes it easy to begin. Ask us about setting up a simple weekly schedule that fits your life.

๐Ÿ’™ Let's talk about something families don't always know how to bring up.

When a loved one starts needing help with bathing, dressing, or getting around safely โ€” it can feel uncomfortable for everyone. For them, it can feel like a loss of independence. For you, it can feel overwhelming, awkward, and emotionally heavy in ways you weren't prepared for.

And honestly? That's completely normal.

But here's what we want you to know โ€” personal care done right doesn't feel clinical. It feels respectful. It feels like someone who genuinely sees your loved one as a whole person, not just a task to complete. ๐Ÿ™

At ARIS at home, every interaction is guided by three things:

๐Ÿ”’ Privacy โ€” always
๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Safety โ€” in every movement, every moment
๐Ÿ’› Consistency โ€” the same familiar faces, the same reliable routines

Because when someone needs hands-on help with the most personal parts of their day, they deserve to feel safe, seen, and dignified. Every single time. Not just occasionally. Not just when it's convenient. Every time.

If you're trying to figure out how to make this next step feel okay for your family โ€” we're here to help you navigate it, gently and without judgment.

โ˜• Read that again. Slowly. You're allowed to take a break.

Not when everything is perfectly handled. Not when you've found the right time. Not when you stop feeling guilty about it.

Now. As you are. With everything still on your plate. ๐Ÿ’™

Because here's what nobody tells caregivers enough โ€” stepping away for a few hours doesn't make you less devoted. It doesn't mean you love them any less. It means you're human, and humans need rest to keep going.

That's exactly what Respite Care is for. Someone trusted steps in, your loved one is in good hands, and you get to justโ€ฆ breathe. No guilt required. ๐Ÿ™

Go to that appointment you've been rescheduling. Take a nap that actually counts. Have a meal with both hands free. Do absolutely nothing if that's what you need.

We'll be there. ๐Ÿ’› ARIS at home is family-owned, non-medical in-home care โ€” available 24/7, because caregivers don't get to pick when they need a break.

๐Ÿ“ž Call us at (708) 934-4676 โ€” let's talk about getting you some real relief.

๐Ÿ˜… Ah yes. The classic. "I don't need help." Said with full confidence. While you're quietly doing everything. ๐Ÿ˜‚

If you've ever tried to bring up outside help for a parent who is absolutely, completely, 100% fine and does NOT need anyone, thank you very much โ€” you already know how that conversation goes. ๐Ÿ’™

Here's the thing though โ€” you don't have to pitch it as "help." You don't have to convince them they're struggling. You just need a gentle way in.

Try this: "I hear you. Let's just start with someone who helps around the house so I can be your daughter/son again โ€” not your exhausted staff."

That's it. No big speech. No battle of wills. Just a small, low-stakes first step that lets them keep their independence AND gives you both something back โ€” the relationship you actually want to have. ๐Ÿ’›

Start with companionship. Build trust. Let the rest follow naturally.

ARIS at home has helped a lot of families navigate exactly this conversation โ€” and we're happy to help yours too.
