Who We Are

Their goal was to create a home care agency grounded in family values with caregivers who provided a sense of purpose in daily life. For nearly fifty years Traycee Home Care Services has provided care to 20,000 individuals and families on the Northshore and Chicagoland area.
About Barbara Traycee
Barbara Traycee was born in Milwaukee and grew up in Chicago. She graduated from the Cook County Graduate School of Medicine as a medical lab technician. Barbara’s late husband, Sheldon was a licensed Pharmacist from the University of Illinois. Their combined talents and passions set the foundation for their pioneering family-centered philosophy and care.
“With my Mother as my inspiration, my husband Sheldon and I founded Traycee Home Care in 1974. Our passion in helping families stems from our own experiences in caring for my Mom who was no longer able to manage on her on. We faced the overwhelming challenge of finding someone we could trust and ensure the very best care. We were committed to create a home care agency grounded in family values with caregivers who provided a sense of purpose in daily life.”

Co-founder
The secret to our longevity and success stems from several factors.
We genuinely care for our clients.
Our caregivers find joy in helping others. They consider and treat every client as if they were their own family members. Traycee Home Care Caregivers take time to get to know our clients and their families. Our philosophy that family matters is engrained in each member of our team. We go the extra mile because we care!
We are highly selective in our staff.
We recognize that providing personal care is a great responsibility. We go beyond background checks and look to select caregivers who share our values and high regard for family with a demonstrated track record of success. We embrace our caregivers as part of our Traycee Home Care family and help them continue to develop their skills through specialized training and education.
We nurture relationships.
Our process of care includes quality checks. Our Care Managers routinely communicate with caregivers and the family to ensure high satisfaction. Care Managers also coach caregivers throughout their involvement with a family. All caregivers receive training recognized by the Illinois Department of Public Health and National Private Duty Care Association as well as individual training based on client and family needs. We take pride in developing skills and providing expertise based on the unique needs of your loved one.
