Description:

The Home Care Council of New York City is a non-profit professional membership organization founded in 1980 and incorporated in 1983. The Council's mission is to promote and improve the quality of home care to families, elderly, frail, and disabled New Yorkers. The Council seeks to assist them in maintaining their individual independence and quality of life in their community as a cost effective alternative to institutionalization.

The Council consists of home care agencies that are representative of the diverse ethnic, cultural and religious communities of New York City. The majority of our agencies are under contract with the New York City Human Resources Administration to deliver in-home personal care services to over 65,000 Medicaid eligible elderly, disabled, and frail individuals and families. In addition to administrators, registered nurses, personnel specialists and support staff, the agencies also employ over 70,000 home attendants.
