Funded by the Illinois Department on Aging, Sahara Home Care a.k.a. Sahara Asian Elderly Care is an in-home care service provider for elderly and disabled persons. Initially, our organization was formed to provide valuable services to the growing South Asian and Middle Eastern elderly population of Chicago land.
However, our clientele has expanded into seniors of various ethnic and cultural backgrounds. Our research shows many of these individuals that desperately seek assistance with personal care and everyday errands often go overlooked and are left unserved. Being so accustomed to their cultural settings, they also want to remain in a familiar surrounding at home.
