Home Care in Manhattan

The cost depends on the type of care, the number of hours, and how the care is funded. Many Manhattan families receive home care through Medicaid and a Managed Long Term Care (MLTC) plan at no out-of-pocket cost. Others use long-term care insurance or arrange private pay home care for maximum flexibility. Contact us at (718) 333 1400 for an honest conversation about the options that fit your situation.

Yes. Many Manhattan families prefer to arrange home care privately, with the speed, flexibility, and discretion that private pay allows. Our concierge home care offers carefully matched caregivers, responsive scheduling, and an elevated level of service suited to households in neighborhoods like the Upper East Side, Tribeca, and Greenwich Village. We also offer geriatric care management for families who want a single professional coordinating every aspect of a loved one's care.

Medicare covers short-term skilled services after a hospitalization or medical episode, including home health aide visits, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy. These are coordinated through a Certified Home Health Agency (CHHA). For longer-term home care, Medicaid through an MLTC plan or private pay are the most common pathways for Manhattan families. We can help you understand which programs apply to your situation.

A home health aide (HHA) is certified to assist with personal care including bathing, dressing, grooming, mobility, medication reminders, and meal preparation. A companion provides social engagement, supervision, light housekeeping, and accompaniment to appointments. Both play important roles in home care, and many Manhattan families use a combination depending on their loved one's needs.

In urgent situations, such as a discharge from Mount Sinai, NYU Langone, NewYork-Presbyterian, or Lenox Hill, we can often begin home care within 24 to 48 hours. For planned care, the needs assessment and caregiver matching typically take a few days. If you are arranging private pay home care, we can usually move even faster. The timeline depends on insurance authorization when you are using Medicaid or an MLTC plan.

Yes. Manhattan is one of the most linguistically diverse places in the world, and our caregiver team reflects it. We match home care aides who speak Spanish, Mandarin, Cantonese, Russian, Korean, French, and many more languages. We match based on language, cultural background, and personality, not just availability, so your loved one feels truly understood.
