  • Has passed multiple background checks
  • Is monitored regularly on-the-job

Our aides master continually-updated curricula, plus new in-services that reflect the latest industry standards. And most have graduated from our very own school, accredited by the NYS Department of Health.

Yes. Many of our clients are eligible for 24 hour care.
