Compassion is the key qualification for caregivers

Healthcare is changing more rapidly than almost any other field. Speaking from his own experience, Elly Kleinman, Americare Companies' director, noticed how in the past couple of decades the field is changing with consumers, members, patients and doctors able to reach their healthcare company using many different channels.

With an intention to create a leading home health service provider, Elly Kleinman founded Americare Companies in 1982, and since then it has grown into one of the largest home health care agencies in New York State. It is devoted to integrating patient care with families' needs and is opened for work 24 hours-a-day, 7 days-a-week.

For Elly Kleinman opening a home healthcare facility is more than just a business, as he truly empathizes with people going through such a process. This family owned and operated business offers person-centered care on a dedicated and individualized basis to patients that live at home, in adult care or assisted living facilities and in group homes.

As a healthcare expert himself, Mr. Kleinman seeks to hire only the best staff and ensure that each member has the skills, qualifications, and humanity to provide the kind of care that is best suited to the patient's needs. But the most special ingredient which makes Americare so special is compassion, treating all of their clients with genuine care, respect and dignity, providing the kind of service that they would wish their own families to receive.

Elly Kleinman and Americare caregivers understand the importance of family. Wanting to be as included in the process as possible, he regularly meets with the clients to discuss their needs and address their concerns.

Rated number one home healthcare service in the New York area, Americare companies provide almost every home care service available such as physical, occupational, and speech therapies, skilled nursing care, behavioral health, home health aides and social workers.

Elly Kleinman approaches his work with a serious responsibility and demands the same from his employees. As the head of the company, he is constantly looking for new, innovative ways to increase the level of expertise, meet the needs of each and every patient and keep pace with the rapidly changing modern systems. By monitoring patient satisfaction, outcomes, and staff competency Americare continually strives to improve the service quality.
