Every June, the Cohen family faced the same challenge: helping their mother Sarah, who was living with dementia, transition from her winter home in Florida to the family’s summer home in Connecticut. What once felt exciting had become confusing and emotional for her. She asked repeatedly, “When are we going home?” Families often don’t realize
One of my clients had an urgent need for a companion. Her mental health had recently deteriorated to the point where she could not safely be alone in her apartment. I called Holistic HomeCare Associates and within a matter of days, I hired two wonderful caregivers that my client immediately embraced; they took the necessary initiative in caring for my client both medically and emotionally. As the legal guardian, I enrolled in the Employer Support Plan which made hiring caregivers smooth and seamless. Paychecks were automatically withdrawn from the bank account and I received weekly online payroll summaries by email, which made it very easy to stay up to date with fees and financial record keeping.
I just want to stress, if I haven’t already, how tremendously grateful I am to Holitsic HomeCare Associates for sourcing our wonderful caregiver Allen. He is fabulous — he makes her laugh, makes her feel safe, engages her, and handles everything so well. For my mom, a day with Allen is a good day.
When my mother was anxiously looking for home care, I contacted Holistic HomeCare Associates and spoke with Rick. He was very responsive and personally visited with my mother to explain the hiring process. Since I live out of state, he updated me by phone and email and kept me in the loop. Since that time my mother has received excellent care from a wonderful team of caregivers and has only good things to say about her experience. This reflects very well on Holistic HomeCare Associates and the people that work there, since my mother is a very discerning and sometimes demanding client.
The caregivers we sourced from Holistic HomeCare Associates transformed our Dad’s care. His male caregivers George and Ebs are very interactive and a wonderful match for him. Since they started working with him, he is more mobile and engaged and this team is a huge improvement over any other aides we had before. Our only regret is that we didn’t start working with your Holistic sooner!
Holistic HomeCare Associates provided us with well trained, highly responsible and personable home aides who have never failed us. In addition, they directed us to important resources when we needed to obtain durable medical equipment products and supported us every step of the way. During a very stressful time of our lives, Holistic HomeCare Associates was there for us and made our lives easier.
Well, it's looking like summer is officially here as Orion's Westchester unit kicked off the season at the lovely Brightview in Harrison, steps from White Plains. Enjoyed their beautiful outdoor space and refreshments. Thank you, Orion, for these important opportunities for quality, in-person events. ... See MoreSee Less

Extra years of life require a radical evolution in how we plan for health, housing, and daily support systems.

The worst time to figure out the healthcare system is in the middle of a medical crisis.
Long-term care costs are climbing fast, catching thousands of families completely off guard every year. Waiting until an emergency hits means fewer choices, higher stress, and massive financial strain.
"The soaring costs of long-term care catch families completely off guard. You have to understand the healthcare system before you're in the middle of a crisis." — Anne Sansevero, Geriatric Nurse Practitioner.
What does the future of aging really look like, and how can your family prepare for it financially? Find out in the latest episode of Aging With the Experts.

For many families, moving between winter and summer homes is a cherished tradition. But for a loved one living with dementia, a seasonal transition can feel deeply disorienting.
In our latest blog, we share the story of the Cohen family and how they learned to help their mother, Sarah, transition safely and calmly.
With thoughtful planning, these moves can become much smoother. Here’s a sneak peek at a few strategies that make a big difference:
1. Talk about the move early using photos and familiar stories.
2. Recreate their bedroom setup with favorite blankets and pictures.
3. Travel during their calmest time of day to avoid overstimulation.
As one family told us: "She may not remember the house, but somehow her heart remembered the feeling of joy, connection, and safety there." 💙

Laurelyn brings tremendous wisdom, compassion, and empathy to her work supporting families in their caregiver-employer role. It was especially meaningful to have her share insights about our family-supported home care model and the difference it makes for families navigating care challenges.

Anne Sansevero recently had the opportunity to speak at the 31st Annual Elder Law Forum in Albany, NY. Thank you to Lou Pierro, Founding Partner of Pierro, Connor & Strauss, LLC for the kind invitation.
Aging is now a governance issue. Longer life spans mean longer care arcs, and by 2034, adults 65+ will outnumber children under 18 in the U.S. We must prepare now for the growing caregiving demand — including embracing family-supported private hire care as part of the solution to fill critical care gaps.
Twelve years ago, my partner Rick Gang and I founded a unique hybrid home care model designed to give families choice, control, flexibility, and turnkey compliance support. Today, that vision is more relevant than ever.
