VivaValet, age in place support, expands in Cook, DuPage, Kane and Lake counties
VivaValet Expands to serve the greater Chicago area, pioneering a new era of aging in place
On Wednesday, Feb. 21, VivaValet announced a meaningful expansion of its unique in-home independent living support services in the greater Chicago area, encompassing Cook, DuPage, Kane and Lake counties. This strategic expansion comes on the heels of a successful pilot program in Arlington Heights and aims to revolutionize the senior care industry by growing empowered independence among older adults living at home.
VivaValet is a tech company at the forefront of the age-in-place movement, offering an array of trusted, in-home, nonmedical services tailored to the needs of older adults. With the successful completion of its pilot program in 2023, VivaValet has set a new industry standard, delivering compassionate service with understanding and a no-tipping policy to prevent predatory service environments.
“We are delighted to bring our innovative approach to independent living to the communities of greater Chicagoland,” stated Jennifer Cain Birkmose, co-founder of VivaValet. “Our growth is a testament to the pressing need for solutions that reflect the unique needs of an aging population. We are not just expanding our reach; we are expanding our commitment to helping older adults lead fulfilling, dignified lives.”
On being asked why it was the right time to expand, Cain Birkmose answered, “we knew it was time to grow when we were able to consistently deliver our in-home services and receive consistently high feedback ratings from our customers. Once we heard a customer say ‘I don’t know what I would have done without VivaValet’ we knew that was the magic moment to expand our service area.”
Key expansion highlights:
• Proven success leading to expansion: The overwhelmingly positive response to VivaValet’s services during the Arlington Heights pilot served as a catalyst for the company’s growth into the greater Chicago area.
• Tailored solutions: VivaValet has developed a range of services, from home cleaning to senior tech support, all geared toward enabling independent living and ensuring the comfort of older adults.
• Collaborative community approach: VivaValet actively partners with local businesses, in-home care companies and Independent Living communities to enhance the overall ecosystem for aging-in-place solutions.
• Innovative technology: Leveraging a dual platform designed with and for older adults, VivaValet provides tools for easier home management with the added benefit of remote support for adult children living locally or abroad.
• Job creation and training: The company’s expansion means new opportunities for local businesses who partner with VivaValet to deliver services. These local partners undergo rigorous vetting and training in the signature ‘Service with Understanding’ philosophy, providing both business development and service enhancement for these local businesses.
“VivaValet is not just a service provider, but a facilitator of a more compassionate, innovative and inclusive approach to senior living,” adds Cain Birkmose. “Our expansion into Chicagoland marks the beginning of a new phase in our journey to empower older adults and their families.”
VivaValet is dedicated to making a meaningful impact on the aging industry and welcomes inquiries from media outlets, local communities, and all those eager to learn more about their services.
