How much does home care cost in Rockland County?

Agencies quote by the hour, and rates depend on the hours, the level of care, weekends and overnights. Ask each agency for its hourly rate and minimum shift in writing. We do not publish agency prices.

Can we get a live-in aide?

Many agencies offer live-in care. The aide needs a private place to sleep and real breaks. Ask how the agency covers days off.

Do you accept Medicaid home care?

We help private-pay families. If your parent is on Medicaid, we point you to the right NY Connects (1-800-342-9871) contact on the first call.

You don't pay. There's no fee. A licensed agency may pay us a referral fee after a successful private-pay start of care. We do not take a fee on Medicaid funded care.

Home care in Rockland County, in plain words

Home care in Rockland County means a licensed aide comes to your parent's home for a few hours a day, overnight, or as a live-in, to help with bathing, dressing, meals, medication reminders, errands and company.

Rockland sits just over the state line from Bergen County, and many families split time between both. Care plans often need to work around family in New Jersey too.

We serve families across Rockland County, including Nyack, New City, Pearl River, Suffern, Monsey, Spring Valley and Nanuet.

How we help

We sit with you first: what a normal day looks like, which hours are hardest, language and food preferences, and your budget. Then we introduce licensed private-pay home care agencies in Rockland County that can staff those hours, and you decide. You don't pay. There's no fee.

For an immediate need, such as a discharge this week, call (201) 686-8232.

After a hospital stay

Many families call us the week a parent leaves Montefiore Nyack Hospital and Bon Secours Good Samaritan Hospital in Suffern. Ask the discharge planner what help is needed at home and when, then tell us. We line up an agency that can start on the right day, and we check in after the first week. See hospital discharge help.

Language, culture and food

Yiddish, Hebrew, Spanish and Haitian Creole speaking aides are common requests in Rockland. Tell us what your parent speaks and eats, and we ask agencies for aides who fit.

Monsey and Spring Valley have one of the largest observant Jewish communities in the region, and kosher and Shabbat-observant aides are a frequent request. See our page on kosher home care.

Licensed, and how to check

In New York, agencies that send aides into the home are licensed by the New York State Department of Health (licensed home care services agencies), and aides hold home health aide or personal care aide training certificates. Ask any agency for its license and the aide's training record.

When home care is no longer enough

If needs grow to overnight help every night, wandering, or two-person transfers, it may be time to compare a community. Read in-home care vs assisted living.
