Celebrating life, dignity and independence Preferred Care at Home of North Westchester and Putnam is a senior home care company that takes great pride in referring only the most devoted and loving senior care personnel. We believe what facilitating compassionate and quality senior care is our spiritual calling. We love what we do, and we will love to be of service to you and your family. Quality Senior Care is Family-Centered Care We believe quality senior home care is synonymous with family-centered care and should be delivered with a personal touch. Our desire is to provide the necessary resources, education, and communication to family members to ensure that they are included in the home care of their elderly loved one. There are 44 million family caregivers in the United States, this staggering number points to the necessity of family-centered care for the well-being of both the family members and the elderly loved one. In Cold Spring, we want to connect your family with the extra care that you need, when you need it. A Personal Touch that Makes a Difference It is our belief that quality senior home care requires a personal touch. In order to implement personalized home care services extensive screenings of the caregivers is required in order to understand the individual skill set. Prior to a referral, each caregiver undergoes extensive background screening and referral interviews. But in order to achieve the necessary personal touch we also assess each caregiver based on 10 key characteristics: Compassion and Empathy, Common Sense, Knowledge and Skill, Ability to Handle an Emergency, Frustration Tolerance, Substance Use, Mental Illness, Spiritual Values and Motivation, Responsibility and Team Player, and Judgement. Providing Education and Resources to the Community Our mission is to connect, educate and serve our community. One way we implement this mission in Westchester and Putnam is through community panels of local senior care experts. Our Senior Resource Panels are held at senior centers and churches in Westchester, Putnam, and surrounding areas, which provide a wealth of knowledge to the elderly and their families. Our home care service area expands throughout North Westchester and Putnam.
