Our goal is to empower seniors and individuals with disabilities to live independently, maintaining their quality of life and dignity right at home.

Personalized Care Plans Tailored to Your Lifestyle

While living independently, you are never alone. Parent Care ensures constant support. We develop personalized care plans to support independent living, taking into account the unique circumstances and needs of each client and their family. No two people are the same, and we believe that no two care plans should be the same either.

We take into account everything from your daily routine to your dietary restrictions, ensuring that the care you receive is tailored to your lifestyle. We aim to provide quality care that enhances your independence, helping you maintain a comfortable and fulfilling life at home.

Multilingual Support for Diverse Communities

We acknowledge the crucial role of effective communication in caregiving. Therefore, Parent Care provides multilingual caregiver support, facilitating effective communication with our diverse clientele. Our staff includes multilingual nurses and caregivers who are fluent in English and Spanish.

We hold the conviction that everyone deserves the best possible care, regardless of their cultural or linguistic background. Our multilingual support is just one of the ways we strive to deliver on this promise, ensuring that our diverse community of clients feel heard, understood, and well-taken care of.

Building Trust and Comfort

Trust is a critical component in the caregiver-client relationship, impacting the quality of care and clients’ adherence to care plans. At Parent Care, we recognize the key role that comfort plays in shaping a positive caregiving experience. This comfort is fostered through personalized interactions and a deep understanding of the client’s preferences and routines. The presence of trust and comfort can lead to better communication between the client and the caregiver, which is crucial for effective care delivery.

We are aware that some individuals may feel vulnerable and reluctant to expose their private life and living space to a stranger, which can be a barrier to establishing trust with the caregiver. To alleviate such concerns, we promote clear and regular communication, ensuring reliability in care responsibilities and affordability of services.

Medicaid and Financial Assistance

Grasping the financial intricacies of securing home healthcare services can be challenging. Parent Care is committed to guiding you through Medicaid and other financial assistance avenues, guaranteeing you get the necessary care. We assist eligible elderly or disabled individuals in understanding and applying for various Medicaid-funded home care programs, enabling them to stay safely at home.

From guiding you through the Access New York Health Care Medicaid Application to offering insights on different long-term care options available through Medicaid, we’re here to make the process as seamless as possible. We also participate in the consumer-driven personal assistant program (CDPAP), which allows clients to select a family member or friend as their caregiver, who is then compensated through Medicaid or insurance. Our goal is to ensure that financial constraints do not come in the way of receiving quality care at home.

The Kin-Keepers of Independent Living

Our mission is to:

• Share our professional expertise
• Share our empathy and understanding
• Ensure that all our clients feel valued and respected
• Maintain the emotional well-being of the seniors we care for
• Enhance their sense of being understood and valued

We achieve this through regular communication and interventions such as reminiscence and the use of meaningful scents, which can be especially helpful for those recovering from a traumatic brain injury.

Expert Consultation and Support

Parent Care is committed to easing the journey of home care for families by providing expert consultation and walking them through all the options available. Our approach to care coordination includes:

• Providing expert consultation
• Updating and involving all concerned parties in the planning of patient care
• Facilitating patient-centered medical assistance

For clients who wish to select their own caregiver, we offer the option for a friend or family member to be compensated through Medicaid or insurance. Understanding the increasing financial burden of long-term care, we offer advice on pooled trusts and guide clients through the Medicaid enrollment process at their local Medicaid office, helping to secure finances and preserve family assets.

With our home care experts available remotely through phone or website, we provide added convenience for clients initiating the enrollment process from the comfort of their homes.

A Privilege to Serve: Our Vocation

Parent Care views our work as more than just an occupation. We see it as a profound privilege. We’re honored to act as kin-keepers in the community, helping seniors live full, independent, dignified lives. We utilize psychosocial approaches in our elderly care, focusing on family-initiated therapies that aim to reduce the necessity for medications or costly therapists.

Our interactions with the elderly are designed to enhance their sense of self-worth and intimacy. Through strategies like regular communication and therapeutic interventions, we maintain the emotional well-being of our clients, helping them feel understood and valued.

We believe that everyone deserves to live a life of dignity and independence, and we’re committed to making this a reality for our clients.
