We are so pleased with the care my parents have received from SelectCare Home Health Care. I live in the opposite part of the state and have no other family in NYC to look in on them. My father refuses to leave his own home, so home care was the only way to go. They were recommended by my NYC church, who I knew had done a complete vetting of the service.

They are thorough and caring and I have total confidence that my parents' needs are being met.view more testimonials
