  • Pre-employment physical examination, with yearly update
  • Pre-employment in-services and skills competency testing

Throughout their employment, all personnel must continue to update their skills and meet in-service requirements.

Why Choose us?

A Home Care Agency You Can Trust

PRIME CARE is an elite personalized home care agency. We were the first home care agency in New York City to be licensed by the New York State Department of Health, and we have been serving the 5 boroughs of NYC and Westchester County since 1983. 

Prime Care has long standing relationships with hospitals, social workers, care managers, and nursing homes in the New York Metropolitan Area, and we have developed a reputation in the community for excellence in home health care.

Experienced and Supportive Administrative Staff

Prime Care is owner run and managed with the help of an administrative staff that is small and knows all the Prime Care employees personally.  The staff, including the owner and the Director of Nursing, who is a nurse practitioner, work together to know and understand the individual needs of all of our clients. 

We work collaboratively with patients, their representatives and family members, their doctors, and hospitals or nursing homes, when a discharge is taking place, to make sure every need is met.  Prime Care does not have an answering service or voicemail. When you call, a Prime Care employee answers the phone, even at nights, on weekends and during holidays. 

Experienced Nurses and Home Health Aides

Our highly trained field staff members consist of Registered Nurses, Licensed Practical Nurses, Home Health Aides, Personal Care Aides, Live-Ins, and Companions.  We can provide comprehensive home care service on a full or part time basis. Our staff members are committed to meeting your particular needs. Our nurses deliver the highest quality skilled nursing care, and our home health aides can assist you with all your activities of daily living.
