Addus HomeCare Corp: A Personal Home Care Services Company

The business started out in 1979 as a home cleaning service company that focused its offerings to the residents of downtown Chicago, Illinois. When the business acquired a contract to provide service to those at-risk elderly populations in Chicago, the business has expanded its offerings to include caring for the elderly and became the National Home Care Services.

As the company continued to expand its community care programs, they also kept on acquiring similar businesses until the business became the Addus HomeCare in 1996. The name Addus came from a Celtic deity who provides wellness and health to his people. This name was chosen after a name change competition took place. From a small venture, the company has grown into a national brand name with operations in 21 states and more than 120 office locations in operation. Every week, the business provides home care services to over 30,000 customers. Addus today is considered as one of the largest providers of personal home care and support services especially for the elderly. They are known for their forward thinking and innovative approach in caring for the aged population.
