A lot has changed in the more than 40 years since Addus began back in 1979, but our core objective remains the same: providing great care for the elderly, disabled and chronically ill, especially those who are at risk of hospitalization or institutionalization. We started out as a home cleaning service and then began providing chore services to Chicago’s at-risk elderly population through a contract with the city.
Our growth continued through the acquisition of additional home care contracts in other states, the opening of new branch offices, and the diversification into new services lines.
