Our Mission
It is the mission of Caring People to continually raise the standard of private duty homecare through innovation, education and most of all service. Founded out of personal experience and frustration with the long term care system, we have committed ourselves to the ever changing needs of the aging population and their caregivers.
Who We Are
Caring People is a licensed Private Duty Homecare Agency. Our services range from provision of a Home Health Aide to complex Skilled Nursing services designed to meet the distinct needs of clients. From a bath visit to live-in services to IV therapy, our staff can customize a plan of care that meets the needs of your loved one. Our team of Registered Nurses will provide an assessment to assist in determining the level of care that is appropriate. We can provide care in any setting, from hospital to home.
Our History
Caring People had its start in 1987. Our founder, Hannah Shulman, began Caring People as a domestic employment agency servicing clients in Queens, NY from the basement of her home in Flushing. Hannah placed high priority on the quality of the caregivers she hired, always making sure to match the best caregiver available with the client.
Hannah’s grandson, Steven East, joined her in 1998. Steven worked side by side with Hannah, taking time to learn all he could from her, understanding her values and how she applied them professionally. Shortly after Steven joined his grandmother, the request for “Senior Nannies” increased. As a result of increase in those requests, Steven began to research homecare for seniors and start the process for licensing Caring People in New York. While waiting on the Department of Health License in New York, he also began the application process in New Jersey. A year after licensing, some clients were headed to Florida for the winter and wanted to keep their caregiver. Steven responded by heading to Florida to research homecare and the licensing process. Shortly after, Caring People established an office there as well. Within 2 years, Caring People was fully servicing seniors in NY, NJ & FL and fully licensed in each state.
Since Hannah’s passing in 2005, Steven has continued her legacy through Caring People’s model of service delivery. While Hannah was not here for the emergence of Caring People, her compassion, commitment to quality and responsive service still guides all of the dedicated Caring People staff and caregivers. As an industry leader, Steven continues to seek out the best and most qualified caregivers and support staff. Caring People provides client centered care and maintains intimate relationships with our clients and their loved ones. This is an integral part of what has lead Caring People to stand out from the crowd since its inception.
