About Us

Our Story

Our founders exemplified the philosophy behind Inspired Home Care, a trusted home care agency for seniors in Chicago and the surrounding areas. Amit Shrivastava grew up in India and watched his mother care for her own parents, instilling in him an appreciation for caring for elders. Poonam Gupta, a registered nurse, learned the difference that professional, sincere care makes in our later years through close companionship with her grandmother.

Together, Amit and Poonam created Inspired Home Care based on the Inspiration Philosophy, in which employees find fulfillment in and motivation from providing home care for the elderly in their homes, which in turn inspires them to continue to find ways to make in-home care a positive and rewarding experience for each person we serve.

Today, our executive director, Derick Kambobe, brings extensive experience in healthcare and home care agency services. He was instrumental in launching an in-home care division in a Chicago-area retirement community and served as director of business development for another provider of in-home care in Chicago and the surrounding areas.
