Our Story
At 85 my dad lived on his own in Florida for nine months of the year, enjoying the warm weather and playing golf several times a week with friends.
We all worried about him living by himself so far from the rest of the family, but he did have a lot of friends in the area and he really valued his independence.
Then one day while taking a walk alone, he suddenly got a little light-headed and fell, resulting in a serious head injury and a four week stay in the hospital and rehab.
Suddenly everything changed and elder care was needed.
My dad’s condition after the accident made it clear he could no longer live independently, and after some deliberation my wife and I decided to have him come and live with us in New York.
We were both still working at the time, but I had a home office, and so I became my dad’s primary caregiver/companion during the day. Although my dad was easy going and a low-maintenance guy, he did need some help with washing and dressing, meal preparation, medication reminders, trips to the doctor, and socialization. Always a very outgoing guy, I noticed now that without some encouragement/nudging, he would be content to stay home and watch TV all day.
This experience led me to start Best Senior Home Care.
Providing senior home care for my own father helped me really appreciate just how challenging and stressful it can be to care for an aging parent at home. This despite the fact I was lucky enough to have a spouse and grown children at home to help, and many siblings nearby only too happy to assist whenever needed.
Clearly not all families are this fortunate! At Best Senior Home Care, our mission is a simple one – help families in need to find reliable, compassionate caregivers to be there for your loved ones when you can’t be there. Since 2007, we have helped many families in the area with in-home care for an aging parent or other relative.

What Clients Say
I want to thank you for all that you did in easing the last few months of my dad's life and in providing necessary help to my step-mom. I appreciated your professional manner from the beginning. You returned calls promptly, asked thoughtful questions, and never put any pressure on us. You seemed to understand my dad's need to be "ready" to accept outside help.
My father reported to me that you came over on a number of occasions to check on how things were going; he felt that was beyond your duty. You even shopped for groceries on at least one occasion and picked up a prescription. On his second hospitalization, you went over to check on him and called me to report on what was going on. Nothing in the agreement had required you to make a call on my father at the hospital, nor to update me. You have gone above and beyond what was required. I'm very comfortable recommending you and Best Senior Home Care.
It is most important t acknowledge the contributions to my mother's safety and well-being made by the aides you provided to assist my mother. These very skilled ladies gave my mother compassionate care and companionship and for that our family is truly grateful. Your commitment to client care and integrity of the aides who cared for our mother made us feel completely at ease knowing that they are being looked after the way a family member would look after them. We would highly recommend Best Senior Home Care to anyone who asks for in home care as they are, in our opinion, the best and most trusted in their field.
