Addus Homecare Corp
A home-care provider that helps elderly, chronically ill, and disabled people stay in their own homes through personal care, skilled home health, and hospice services. Founded in 1979 in Illinois as a home-cleaning service, it grew through city and government contracts into one of the nation's largest in-home care providers. The name "Addus" came from a 1996 employee contest: a California worker who studied ancient deities suggested the Celtic god of health and wellness.
