Our Approach to Care
We keep dignity and individual needs at the forefront of what we do.
We believe in person-centered care with respect.
Driven by our own experiences with cultural sensitivity, we appreciate observances, traditions, dietary considerations and lifestyles.
A person’s particular values, needs and preferences are always central.
A Local Need, A Loving Nurse
A community in need leads to a transformation of care.
In 1994, Miriam Sternberg was a hospital nurse in New York City with a growing family. As an immigrant from Moscow, she saw a void in care for many of those aging around her. Miriam and her team of friends sought to fill that cultural void in home care and together they started Caring Professionals.
Word of mouth about Caring Professionals spread in the Russian-speaking and Slavic communities. Personal understanding of Eastern European populations, combined with a reputation of responsive care, fueled initial growth. It wasn’t long before word spread, and soon home care was requested for other communities, and in other languages.
We work hard to support all lifestyles, personal needs and preferences
Caring Professionals now cares for over 5,000 patients within the diverse communities of New York, offering services in over ten languages. We support all lifestyles, personal needs, and preferences. Our caregivers are trained to work with seniors, people with disabilities, holocaust survivors, and veterans. We are continually looking for more communities to serve! If you have a language or other need not currently listed, please reach out to us to see how we can help.
