Home Care in Westchester County
Trusted, multilingual home care from our Yonkers office, backed by more than 30 years of caring for New York families.
Westchester stretches from the Bronx line to the Putnam border, and a family in Yonkers faces different questions from one in Mount Kisco. Finding the right home care here means finding an agency with people on the ground in the county, not a phone line in another borough. Caring Professionals has served New York families since 1994, and our Westchester office at 91 Riverdale Avenue in Yonkers coordinates care across the county, from Mount Vernon and New Rochelle to White Plains, Scarsdale, and the Rivertowns. We match your family with qualified caregivers who speak your language, respect your traditions, and know your community. Whether your loved one needs a home health aide in Yonkers, support after a stay at White Plains Hospital, or long-term care in New Rochelle, our Westchester team is here to help.

Why Westchester Families Choose Us
Why Westchester Families Trust Caring Professionals
Choosing a home care agency is one of the most personal decisions a family makes. You are inviting someone into your loved one's home and daily life. Here is why families across Westchester choose us, and stay with us.
A Westchester Office on Riverdale Avenue
Our Westchester team works from 91 Riverdale Avenue in Yonkers. It is a full care coordination office, not a satellite desk: Westchester coordinators handle placements, supervise care, and answer the phone from inside the county. Behind them is an agency that has been caring for New York families for more than three decades.
Matched by Language, Culture, and Personality
Westchester is more diverse than many people assume. Yonkers alone holds one of the county's largest Spanish-speaking communities, long-established Jewish neighborhoods, and Portuguese, Brazilian, and Caribbean communities. We match aides by language, cultural background, and personality, across more than twenty languages, because your loved one deserves to be understood in their own.
Navigating Westchester's Care Systems for You
From Medicaid applications with the Westchester County Department of Social Services to MLTC enrollment and discharges from St. John's Riverside, Westchester Medical Center, or White Plains Hospital, we handle the coordination so you can focus on your family.

What New York Families Say About Caring Professionals
We measure our success by the families who trust us — and stay with us. Here is what some of the families we care for in the Bronx, next door to Yonkers, have shared.
Highly professional, very kind and attentive. Easy to reach out to and communicate.
Being with this company so far has been very good. Process was smooth and the care coordinators have been present and available. My care coordinator Fernando has been super informative and very attentive as well as helpful. He is the best!
This company is the best. I’ve been a client for almost a year and it’s been awesome. They care for their employees and the care that they give their clients. I’m aware of many agencies but this is the perfect fit.
Frequently Asked Questions About Home Care in Westchester
The cost depends on the type of care, the number of hours, and how the care is funded. Many Westchester families receive home care through Medicaid and a Managed Long Term Care (MLTC) plan at no out-of-pocket cost. We also offer private pay options and accept long-term care insurance. Call our Yonkers office for an honest conversation about your situation; there is no obligation.
Westchester residents apply for Medicaid through the Westchester County Department of Social Services, not through New York City's HRA. The county's Office of Medical Home Care Services is at 112 East Post Road in White Plains, (914) 995-6431, and DSS has district offices in Yonkers, Mount Vernon, White Plains, and Peekskill. Once Medicaid is in place, the New York Independent Assessor (NYIA) determines eligibility for long-term home care, and you choose an MLTC plan. Our Yonkers coordinators guide families through every step.
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 is the most common pathway. We can help you understand which programs apply to your family.
Private pay home care starts quickly and can be scheduled for as few or as many hours as your family needs. Long-term care insurance often covers it too. Westchester also offers EISEP, a county program for residents 60 and older, with fees on a sliding scale by income; call the Department of Senior Programs and Services at (914) 813-6442 for a referral.
In urgent situations, such as a discharge from St. John's Riverside, Westchester Medical Center, or White Plains Hospital, we can often begin care within 24 to 48 hours. For planned care, we typically complete the needs assessment and caregiver matching within a few days. The timeline also depends on insurance authorization if you are using Medicaid or an MLTC plan.
Yes. We match aides who speak Spanish, Haitian Creole, Russian, Yiddish, Hebrew, Italian, and many more of the more than twenty languages our caregivers speak. We match based on language, cultural background, and personality, not just availability.
Let us know. We take caregiver matching seriously, and if the fit is not right, we will work with you to find a better match. Your comfort and your loved one's wellbeing come first.
Our Westchester office is at 91 Riverdale Avenue, Yonkers, NY 10701, and you can reach it at (914) 603-8895. It coordinates care across the county. Our headquarters has been at 70-20 Austin Street in Forest Hills, Queens, since 1994.
