COVID-19 Update
We have weathered the worst of the storm together! PeopleCare, Inc. is back to providing our regular services following the CDC and IDPH guidelines, and this includes TRANSPORTATION. We are continuing our telephone reassurance calls as these have formed new friendships! We will also continue to make no contact delivery of groceries and medications for those in need. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions, or would like to schedule a service. Watch for more information about our newest program, Telemedicine, where we bring your doctor’s appointment directly to you in your home. We are looking forward to supporting our seniors in our neighborhood as we have done so for the last 30 years.
How we touch
people's lives
Need always appears to be so overwhelming. Yet in our experience, it begins to cower in the face of a simple smile. It flinches when a hand takes an elbow. Fact is, PeopleCare people, our clients, live with need every day and our volunteers face it down armed with little more than car keys or a telephone or a hot meal.
We touch people's lives. We're always amazed at how much they return the favor.
PeopleCare
Using primarily volunteers PeopleCare will assist and support the homebound elderly by providing socialization, emotional support and access to service providers where no one is denied services.
In 1990, PeopleCare began providing a volunteer friendly visitation program to the homebound, which often served as a respite for a primary caregiver. Today, PeopleCare is still reaching out to the elderly, specifically targeting communities without programs to benefit those whose age or physical condition limits their mobility. PeopleCare serves more than 1,700 clients annually.
PeopleCare. We're here every day to show just how much.

You'll be amazed what can
start with one call
What can one hour mean? To a PeopleCare client it can mean a doctor's appointment on time, a filled prescription, or three hotels on boardwalk. To a PeopleCare volunteer it's seeing the amazing difference their time can make. Every hour is precious. At PeopleCare we think that's the most important lesson of all.
