Advantage Home Care: NYC’s Trusted Home Care Agency for Families
We help New York City families keep their loved ones safe, supported, and independent at home β with trained caregivers, real care coordination, and guidance through every step of Medicaid and private pay.
- Advantage Home Care is a New York City home care agency serving families across all five boroughs.
- We provide personal care aides, home health aides, NHTD/TBI and OPWDD waiver support, care coordination, and private pay home care.
- Our team handles the Medicaid and enrollment paperwork so families can focus on their loved one, not the bureaucracy.
Choosing a home care agency is one of the most personal decisions a family makes. You are inviting someone into your home to care for the person you love most β so trust, consistency, and competence matter more than anything. Advantage Home Care was built around exactly that: dependable, respectful in-home care for New Yorkers, backed by a team that treats your family like its own.
Who We Are
Advantage Home Care is a home care agency serving families throughout New York City. We match seniors and individuals with disabilities to trained, carefully vetted caregivers, and we support both the client and their family through the entire process β from the first phone call and the Medicaid application to the day care begins and every adjustment after that. Because New York City is one of the most diverse places on earth, we prioritize caregivers who reflect the languages and cultures of the neighborhoods we serve, so care feels familiar, not foreign.
Services We Provide
Families come to us with very different needs β a parent recovering from surgery, an adult child with a developmental disability, a spouse living with a progressive illness. Our services are built to cover the full range:
Serving Families in Every Borough
We provide home care across New York City, with caregivers and coordinators who know their communities. Wherever you are, we can help β and we have local guides for each borough: Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens, Manhattan, and Staten Island. Same standards of care, staffed by people who understand your neighborhood.
What Sets Advantage Home Care Apart
Caregiver consistency. We work hard to keep the same aide with your family rather than rotating strangers through your home, because trust and routine are what make home care actually work β especially for someone with dementia, a brain injury, or a progressive illness.
We handle the paperwork. Medicaid, MLTC enrollment, waiver applications, assessments β the system is genuinely confusing. Our team walks families through getting approved for Medicaid home care and manages the details so you are not doing it alone.
Real coordination, not just staffing. A dedicated coordinator stays involved after care begins, adjusting the plan as needs change and keeping families informed. You always have someone to call.
Trained, vetted caregivers. Every aide is screened and trained, and we match caregivers to each family’s specific needs β language, condition, schedule, and personality.
How Families Pay for Care
Most of our clients receive care through New York Medicaid, typically via a managed long-term care (MLTC) plan that authorizes weekly aide hours. Many families are surprised to learn they qualify β New York’s community Medicaid rules are more flexible than people expect, and we help you navigate them. For families who don’t qualify, or who need care to begin immediately, private pay offers flexible hourly scheduling that can start within days. Veterans and individuals with disability waivers have additional options we can walk you through.
How to Get Started
Getting started is simple: one phone call. We’ll ask about your loved one’s needs, explain which coverage options fit, and lay out the next steps β whether that’s beginning a Medicaid application or scheduling private care right away. There’s no obligation, and no pressure.
