Long Island Elder Care

FOR MOM: Whether your Mom needs help for a few hours or twenty four hours a day, seven days a week, we’re here to help and address any of your concerns. All of us here at “Nanny’s For Granny’s” take Senior Home Care very serious. We treat your Mom like we would expect our Mom to be treated. While we’re all going to grow old, some will age more gracefully than others, some will need more personalized attention, some less, from an in-home health aide. Here, we strive to maintain and improve their quality of life with dignity, respect, and compassion in the privacy of their Long Island home.

FOR DAD: Whether your Dad requires a few hours a day or continuous personal care, the services of “Nanny’s For Granny’s” can put some of your frustrations or worries at ease. If your Dad is plagued by Dementia, Alzheimer’s, requires Geriatric care, or maybe just needs some companionship to keep him safe while at home on Long Island, you’ve come to the right place. This is what we do and all we do. We take into consideration the pride and ego of many men, we consider the fact that up until this point in their life, most have been fairly independent and are used to doing everything themselves. We try to maintain that level of independence where possible, with one of our senior long Island caregivers only an arm’s length away at all times.

Through careful interviews with family members, we try to find the right caregiver for his situation.  Whether they be a male or a female caregiver, we will come to that decision together.  We can honestly say, most times men are a bit skeptical but once a caregiver is in place, their whole personality changes for the better.  Below you will find some of the duties our caregivers perform.

Most of our caregivers have certifications in many areas of expertise to include CNA’s (Certified Nursing Assistant), HHA’s (Home Health Aid), PCA’S (Personal Care Aid) and some with higher level of degrees. Most have experience and know what to expect from seniors plagued by Alzheimer’s, Dementia, or those in need of Geriatric care. Specific areas in New York that we provide Senior Care assistance on Long Island, including Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, Nassau and Suffolk County.
