42 Home Care Services for Seniors Serving Westbury, NY

I currently have Home Instead Merrick helping with my husband’s care. They help out with showering and preparing lunch or breakfast, whichever is needed — but it’s mainly lunch. They see that he’s dressed properly because he puts on daytime clothes at night and nighttime clothes in the daytime. They check after him and clean up if needed. They also do light housework, vacuuming, and take him for a walk when they can. Today he has a dental appointment, and the caregiver will be accompanying us. It’s his first visit to that dentist so I’m going, but the caregiver will be driving us and acting as a companion to help him understand what’s going on. They do whatever I ask them to; sometimes it’s an errand, and sometimes just getting lunch for him if I don’t have anything prepared. It’s whatever I need at the time, like washing clothes and folding them from the dryer, and things like that. Whenever I have to speak with the manager or the people at the office, they’re always very kind, very thorough, understanding, and easily reachable, so I’ve had no problem whatsoever. I’ve only been with them maybe three months, but they have been very responsive. If somebody could not come in, which happened a couple of times, they would let me know ahead of time and determine with me whether or not I wanted a replacement. I have not been with them that long, but I’m very pleased with them. (read less)

Back in 2013 I fell and severely fractured my hip. I contacted European Expert Care to inquire about getting help for myself. From the very beginning I spoke to Dorothy, she informed me about options and what I should expect. Dorothy was quick in setting up interviews for potential aids that would fit my situation best. I don’t know what I would have done without this help. Even though my injury is already healed they still provide services for me. I need help on a daily basis. The aids that help me are caring and go the extra mile every time. European Expert Care is simply irreplaceable. (read less)

This was my third care agency and by far the best. Caregiver was always on time and even came during very bad weather. Caregiver took very good care of my mother. When I signed with them I was told they could always be reach, from previous agency I thought you call them and the answering service would get in touch with someone to call you back. I was surprised when I called, at 7am, to leave message that someone call me back to discuss a charge and I did not get answering service, but someone in the office. This experience makes me fell better that if their was an emergency we would not be sitting around waiting for a call back. May not always happen that they answer 100% of the time, but 99% is much better than 5% other agency do. (read less)

The home attendants were absolutely excellent. (read less)

I am currently working with Homewatch Caregivers and I can’t express how thankful and lucky I was to find them. My mother was recently diagnosed with Early Onset Dementia in 2011 and this has been a rollar coaster of emotions, stress and heartache for the entire family, in particular my father who is her primary caretaker. Homewatch Caregivers has been my father’s refuge as they have been able to provide top-notch quality care for my mother. She is a very hard person to please, even prior to her illness, so it was so nice to see that she took an immediate liking to the caregiver assigned. She can’t wait to see her caregiver on the weekends and looks forward to the visits. This affords my father the respite he needs when dealing with my ailing mother becomes too overwhelming. I highly recommend Homewatch Caregivers. They are a pleasure to work with and are highly professional. (read less)

I had a wonderful experience with Osborn Home Care. We were able to interview several caregivers before deciding on care for my mother. They were very accommodating to our schedule and the nurses and home caregivers were very warm and personable. I am excited for them to start with my mother when she gets out of the hospital.

When it was clear our 85 year old father needed support to continue to stay in his home, our research pointed us to Grace Senior Companion Care.

They are amazing in every step of the way!! (read less)
