Universal Metro Asian Services was incorporated as a Not-For-Profit organization on December 7th, 2000. Our aim is to serve immigrant populations of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, the Middle East, Latin America and Europe. The organization received its first contract with Illinois Department on Aging(IDOA) to administer homecare services to ethnic seniors in 1993 via Universal Industries.

Our Community Care program is unique. For the past three decades we have been at the forefront of meeting the requirements of the South Asian immigrant community and have since evolved to serve all communities. We are dedicated and determined to provide services to the elderly in their home rather than institutionalized in a nursing home. We consider our participant's cultural and social preferences very carefully before assigning a Caregiver in order to best match their needs.

Homecare
As you get older maintaining your independence and living in your own home can become near impossible as everyday chores become more & more difficult. Our homecare program helps you keep your independence from the privacy of your own home.

Customized and unique to your needs, we provide a Caregivers that share your language and cultural background whenever possible. With over 2936 highly trained staff we can find the one that will become like family to you. Our caregivers assist with chores around the house including cooking, shopping, personal grooming, and transportation to medical appointments, when necessary.

Adult Day Care
Getting older doesn't mean being lonely or slowing down. Your golden years can be a great time! Our adult day care centers provide a venue for the elderly to get involved in structured and fun-filled activities. We provide breakfast, hot lunch and snacks to our participants. On-site medical monitoring is available by trained nurses. Yoga & fitness sessions, health education and seminars, recreational activities and round trip transportation services from their home to the centers by our experienced drivers are also available free of charge for those who qualify. Come join the party at one of our 6 convenient Chicagoland locations.

Our ADS Coordinators are specially trained to take care of the elderly. We also have a nurse on staff at every location for regular checkups and in case any emergency should arise. A typical day at UMAS begins with the Morning Prayer and exercise to refresh the body and the soul which is followed by a healthy breakfast. Seniors then read newspapers, color paintings or solve puzzles based on their interest. A nutritious lunch is served every day at our kitchen which is followed by hearty discussions over any topic of interest. Seniors can either play games or watch television based on their interest. The day ends with evening tea and snacks and everybody parts with a promise to meet the next day. We also provide transportation free of charge as a service.

Special days include outings to libraries, temples, public places and grocery stores. We also celebrate all festivals and holidays with splendor at all our centers. The best part of which is that the seniors don’t miss their own country and rejoice as they used to do a few years back.
