In 1994, Miriam Sternberg was a hospital nurse in New York City with a growing family. As an immigrant from Moscow, she saw a void in care for many of those aging around her. Miriam and her team of friends sought to fill that cultural void in home care and together they started Caring Professionals. Word of mouth about Caring Professionals spread in the Russian-speaking and Slavic communities. Personal understanding of Eastern European populations, combined with a reputation of responsive care, fueled initial growth. It wasn’t long before word spread, and soon home care was requested for other communities, and in other languages. ### We work hard to support all lifestyles, personal needs and preferences Caring Professionals now cares for over 5,000 patients within the diverse communities of New York, offering services in over ten languages. We support all lifestyles, personal needs, and preferences. Our caregivers are trained to work with seniors, people with disabilities, holocaust survivors, and veterans. We are continually looking for more communities to serve! If you have a language or other need not currently listed, please reach out to us to see how we can help. ### The Diverse Communities that Make Us Great - African American - Eastern European - Western European - Mandarin - Cantonese - Caribbean - South Asian - Haitian - Hispanic - Russian - Former Soviet Republics - Holocaust Survivors - LGBTQ+ - Veterans - People with Disabilities Caring Professionals not only serves these communities, we are engaged in local neighborhood life.
