Our Mission: Improving Quality of Life Through Compassionate Care

While Accessible Home Health Care began with the intention of helping the elderly age in their own homes, we've grown exponentially over the past twenty years! Our home health care services can assist your family at any stage of life, from neonatal and child care to long-term disability and hospice, and of course, we're always committed to helping the elderly age-in-place.

Home Health Care With Heart

Accessibility

Accessible Home Health Care is more than just a name to us; it's our commitment to be there for you and your loved ones around the clock, to work with your physicians and provide the best possible care, and to diligently watch for and inform you of any changes to your loved one's health.

Quality

We're committed to providing families with the best quality health care and companionship in their own homes. We believe in treating patients with dignity and respect, encouraging them to maintain their comfort and independence, while ensuring that safety is always a top  priority.

Compassion

Home is a special place; it's where we grow our families, celebrate milestones, and build memories. Your home is where your heart is, and it's the reason we provide compassionate in-home care from the heart.

The Start of Accessible Home Health Care

Finding the right in-home health care for your family can be time-consuming and exhausting. Our co-founder, Mirella Salem, knows this first hand. When she set out to find a caregiver for her aging mother, she was saddened by how difficult and frustrating the process was. She wanted to feel at peace knowing her mother was both safe and happy, and she knew that other families would want the same.

Mirella refused to settle. Instead, she helped build a home health care company that offered everything she wanted for her own family.

Over 20 years later, we've not only kept those same values but improved upon our services based on feedback from caregivers and families. We're dedicated to serving families across the country and internationally because we believe everyone deserves compassionate in-home health care. We want every family we serve to feel safe and comfortable knowing that their loved ones are receiving care and companionship from trained professionals who see providing in-home health care not just as what they do, but what they love.
