At Companions for Seniors, our mission is to help Chicagoland’s elderly maintain a higher quality of life from the comfort and safety of their own homes. One of the great advantages of aging in place is the freedom, flexibility, and safety it offers to seniors. But to make a loved one’s stay at home as comfortable and accessible as possible, it may be necessary to make a few swaps around the space — and that includes the furniture!

Looking to upgrade the furniture in your aging family member’s home? Ready to invest in some fun and functional mats, curtains, or lighting? It helps to know where to start your search.
