Helping your loved one
with daily living at home.

Welcome Care helps clients receive respectful support with personal care, daily routines, companionship, and safe living at home.

Home Home Aides & Personal Care Aides

Support for the everyday moments that matter most.

Home Health Aide and Personal Care Aide services are designed to help people remain comfortable at home while receiving assistance with daily routines and personal needs.

We also operate Home Health Aide training schools throughout New York City’s five boroughs and Nassau County. Families can recommend a trusted friend or family member to become their loved one’s Home Health Aide. We sponsor their training and certification, giving families the opportunity to have someone they already know and trust provide care while earning a paycheck. This is especially meaningful for pediatric care, where children often feel more comfortable with a familiar caregiver and parents gain added peace of mind.

The goal is simple: provide care that feels respectful, practical, and personal, so clients and families feel less overwhelmed and more supported.

"Home-based support can make a meaningful difference. In a large Medicare study, 80.2% of patients discharged to home health care improved in activities of daily living."

JAMA Internal Medicine, 2019. “Patient Outcomes After Hospital Discharge to Home With Home Health Care vs to a Skilled Nursing Facility.”
