Testimonials

"I hired Chicago Private Nursing for post surgery assistance, and they surpassed all expectations. From the time the nurse picked me up to getting me home, picking up my meds, even writing out post-its for the hours and dosages and talking with my surgeon’s nurses to clarify all directions. They were so great, in fact, my surgeon’s lead nurse raved about my Chicago Private Nurse and inquired about hiring her (lol). I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of post-surgical care and home support. It’s truly next level. Outstanding, 5 Stars!!!!"

"I can’t say enough good things about Chicago Private Nursing. Caroline and all of the nurses took amazing care of my dad during his recovery and made such a difference for our family. Every nurse was kind, professional, and went out of their way to make sure he and my mom were comfortable and supported. They truly cared, and it showed in everything they did. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for compassionate, reliable care."

"Wow! I was nervous as I had never used CPN before but I couldn’t have asked for a better recovery team! Caroline (the owner) and Ashley were incredibly kind, compassionate, professional and caring during my overnight stay and recovery from surgery. From helping manage my pain to making sure all my needs were taking care of, they were a 10/10. I highly recommend Chicago Private Nursing during your surgical recovery."

"Had the awesome pleasure of working with this group of nurses post tummy tuck and liposuction. They went out of their way to make me feel comfortable and cared for. Not only are they extremely knowledgeable and very highly educated, they also have a personal touch that is often lost in the medical industry today. I can honestly say sitting here I would not have been able to do it without them. They made it feel like my hotel was a home away from home with their visits. They communicated everything to my surgeon and were an awesome go between. Cannot recommend them enough. They are the absolute best that Chicago has to offer and I would even venture to say the best in the country."

"Chicago Private Nursing helped my family manage our post surgical home medical needs with compassion, professionalism, and expertise. Their nurses are skillful, personable, generous, and resourceful. The agency’s positive history with Northwestern doctors was also invaluable. I highly recommend this company!"

"I wish I could give 100 stars! CPN, Caroline and Samantha made a nerve-wracking time feel calming. CPN is SO thorough and also SO compassionate. I had an abdominal surgery and wanted care between my surgery and first post-op visit. The care ended up being so phenomenal I extended the visits to my 2nd post op visit because my nurse did such a great job making sure everything was healing well. Without my nurse, I think I could have easily ended up with an infection, but she provided such great care and paid attention with such great detail that everything was smooth sailing. Of course, the care was the most important part, but the bedside manner made daily nursing visits something I ended up looking forward to. I was treated with such care and patience, my nurse felt like family. I have a young son and every morning his first question was when my nurse was going to visit. If you are going through anything, I can’t recommend this wonderful team more."

"When my husband left town, I thought I would be able to do the shots I needed to do by myself. I was wrong! I contacted Caroline the night before I needed the shot and she got back to me at 8 pm. She was incredibly friendly and helpful and it was very easy to work with her. I was so grateful to have her help in a difficult situation!"

"Caroline was a fantastic and essential at home nurse. Her knowledge, skill, and friendliness will help anyone flourish through recovery. I had minor complications from my surgery at the hospital which made my at home care more demanding than expected. Caroline was incredibly helpful and allowed me to heal and thrive quickly. She helped me shower, make med schedules, and encouraged me to make bigger strides in recovery every day. I found myself improving and recovering at a rate I totally didn’t expect and her help is what allowed me to flourish and push myself in a healthy safe way. If you are in need of a home nurse she will go above and beyond and is very flexible with scheduling. Highly highly recommended."

"I would highly recommend Ellie for anyone who is having a surgical procedure! She is knowledgeable, kind, supportive, and very good at navigating any challenge during recovery. I felt very calm leading up to surgery due to her guidance provided prior to the big day. Choosing a service post op was as important as the surgeon I chose to ensure the best outcome."

"Caroline was an absolute godsend during one of the most stressful times of my life. I had just been sent home from my fertility doctor with a bag full of expensive medications and little hands-on training. My husband was traveling for work, and I was in the middle of my second round of IVF after my first round had failed. I felt completely overwhelmed and wasn’t confident giving myself the injections. Caroline came to my home for a time-sensitive fertility injection, and from the moment she arrived, she put me at ease. She not only ensured the injection was done perfectly and on time but also made the entire appointment lighthearted and stress-free. Her kindness and compassion were exactly what I needed during such a nerve-wracking period. I was so impressed with Caroline’s care that I ended up hiring her for the remainder of my injections. Knowing that someone so skilled and empathetic was by my side took an enormous weight off my shoulders. I could focus on the bigger picture without worrying about the details of my treatment. A few months ago, we welcomed our baby boy, and I will forever be grateful to have had Caroline as part of my fertility journey. Her expertise, warmth, and encouragement made all the difference, and I can’t recommend her enough to anyone going through fertility treatments. Thank you, Caroline, for helping turn a stressful experience into one filled with hope and success!"

"I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional care Caroline provided after my melanoma resection and skin graft surgery. From the moment she arrived, she brought a calming presence that truly restored order to the chaos of the early post-op days. Caroline’s twice-daily visits for dressing changes were not just a routine task; they were moments of reassurance and expertise that I desperately needed. Her profound knowledge and gentle demeanor helped ease the overwhelming anxiety I felt while waiting for my pathology results. She patiently answered all my questions and provided the emotional support that both I and my family needed during this stressful time. Caroline’s meticulous attention to detail and compassionate care were pivotal in ensuring that my wound and skin graft healed beautifully. What stood out the most was her flexibility and unwavering professionalism. No matter the situation, Caroline adapted seamlessly and always put my well-being first. Her dedication and top-tier care truly embody the definition of 5-star service. Thanks to Caroline, we had peace of mind throughout this challenging journey, and I can confidently say that her involvement made all the difference. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of private nursing care. She is a true gem in her profession!"

"Ellie has been a hero of my recovery from a circumferential body lift surgery. I hired Ellie to provide 48 hours of continuous care after my discharge, but due to a complication, I ended up spending two additional days in the hospital. Ellie was flexible and transparent, shifting the dates of our arrangement based on the date of my discharge. Ellie picked me up from the hospital and helped me safely transition to my home. Once we were home, Ellie went above and beyond to help me with everything from drain care to showering to changing positioning to managing my medication schedule. She even gave me and taught me to use a unique medical device that made drain care significantly easier. While Ellie was willing to help with all of the foregoing and more, she also respected that I was attempting to regain my independence and worked to enable me to perform tasks on my own. Perhaps the best example of Ellie going above and beyond is her food preparation–she prepared delicious, fresh food from a menu that we discussed in advance that was tailored to my recovery. She also left me with enough food to feed me and the friends who would be staying with me for days on end. Overall, Ellie could not have made my transition from the hospital to home after a difficult surgery any easier to manage. I recommend her unequivocally."

"I was initially referred to Ellie from the people working at the hospital where I was scheduled to undergo surgery; I could not be happier with the care that she provided me with! Ellie was kind, thoughtful, knowledgeable in her care, very communicative, supportive, and easy to talk to. I initially had worried going into surgery that I wouldn’t be able to take care of my drains or re-dress my incisions outside of the times that Ellie would stop by to check on me; Ellie was very helpful in explaining and demonstrating the steps that I should take when she was not present, and she answered my questions thoughtfully and with a very helpful level of detail! Overall I had an amazing experience working with Ellie, and I would absolutely recommend her for post-op care. Outside of just being a wonderful nurse Ellie was also very fun to talk to and very flexible and accommodating to my needs! Getting to talk with her every day during my first week of recovery made time move a lot more quickly, and I can safely say that she repeatedly lifted my spirits with her stories!"
