Owner 2nd Family | Glen Ellyn About Ben Morrissey and 2nd Family of Glen Ellyn, Illinois
Hi, I’m Ben Morrissey, founder of 2nd Family in Glen Ellyn. My journey into senior home care began not in a hospital or clinic, but at my own kitchen table—where I sat beside my mom during her early days of dementia and supported my dad through cancer-related complications that ultimately took his life. Those deeply personal moments showed me how impactful compassionate care at home can be, and inspired me to build a service that treats every family like our own. Though I come from a corporate background with 20+ years in sales and marketing, my real calling has always been helping others. I believe that care should be delivered with humility, transparency, and a human connection rooted in trust and faith. At 2nd Family, I ensure that we bring these values into every interaction—because your family deserve more than a service – you deserve a partner.

Senior Home Care Glen Ellyn, Illinois Reviews
Great company for in-home elder care. Amazing support and care. He was invaluable to us. All of the caregivers were very helpful during a very difficult situation. 2nd Family is very well managed and I highly recommend them.
My family enlisted the help of 2nd family to help my grandparents. My grandmother has Alzheimer’s and dementia and it became too much for my grandfather to handle her alone. The compassion and care we received throughout the process was amazing.
This was my first opportunity to use the services of 2nd Family and I would not hesitate to use them again in the future. The care was easy to arrange, the responsiveness from the office staff was timely and the costs were all explained up front.
After my very first conversation with 2nd Family, everything started moving quickly in the best possible way. They sent over the necessary forms right away, scheduled an RN to visit our home, and had support in place for us within a week. I was immediately struck not only by the kindness and warmth I felt over the phone, but also by the professionalism and efficiency behind every step. Every caregiver we’ve worked with has been attentive and genuinely eager to help, and we now have a consistent caregiver we truly adore. I have complete peace of mind knowing my husband is well cared for whenever I need to step out.

Senior Home Care Illinois FAQs
What’s the difference between personal care and non-medical home health care?
Personal care—such as help with bathing, grooming, and dressing—is one of the services included in non-medical home care. Non-medical home care also includes companionship, meal preparation, light housekeeping, and transportation.
Unlike home health care, which involves medical services such as skilled nursing or therapy ordered by a doctor, non-medical home care focuses on supporting daily living activities to help seniors live safely and comfortably at home.
Does Medicare pay for home care in Illinois?
Medicare generally covers short-term, medically necessary home health services such as skilled nursing or physical therapy ordered by a doctor. It does not cover long-term custodial or companion care at home. Many families explore other options such as private pay, long-term care insurance, or respite care services to meet ongoing needs.
Who qualifies for home health care services in Illinois?
To qualify for medical home health through Medicare, a doctor must certify that your loved one needs skilled, intermittent care and that they are homebound. You may be able to find additional support through community-based programs or with the help of agencies like 2nd Family who can provide individualized senior care planning. At 2nd Family, you don’t need to meet any qualification requirement for senior home care services.
Does Social Security cover home care?
Social Security is a federal program that provides retirement income, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), and disability benefits to eligible individuals. These payments are made directly to recipients, who may use the funds as they see fit. While Social Security does not directly cover the cost of home care, families can often apply these benefits toward in-home support.
