The Perfect MatchFor Unmatched Care

Our Caregivers: Quality Care from Quality People

Our StarPoint private-duty caregivers have caring, compassionate spirits, and a genuine enthusiasm for making a difference in the lives of seniors and their families. They embrace our culture of respect and kindness, and, in turn, are rewarded with excellent employee benefits, resulting in low staff turnover. Each caregiver must pass a strict background check, as well as drug screenings, both before hire and randomly after hire.

Of course, we know that diversity is important, so we provide multi-lingual caregivers for families who require those skills. It’s all part of making sure that we have the right match for you or your loved one.

It’s extremely reassuring to know that my mother has, not just help, but company. Lovely, caring people who are her companions and friends, Mom’s aides have become a really important part of her life over the time that they've been helping her.

We arranged through Jewish Family Service to have StarPoint Home Care help me out. I'm very thankful that I was put in touch with [Director of StarPoint] Debbie Balk. We met on the phone quite a bit. I would tell my son David, what they were doing for me and he was very happy for me that I could get back on my feet with the help of StarPoint Home Care and Jewish Family Service.

Mom's StarPoint caregivers are simultaneously her lifeline and my security blanket. […] From the day Mom first moved here—just prior to Rosh Hashanah, 2017—her aides have not only provided her day-to-day care, but they’ve also provided her companionship.
