A Legacy of Exceptional Care for All Faiths

When a loved one needs support to continue living at home, it can be hard to know where to turn.

We understand the emotion that accompanies the need for care and how overwhelming it can feel. When you partner with Jewish Family Home Care (License No.: 299994440), your family becomes part of ours. And like family, we’re here when you need us, 24/7.

Founded in 2015 as an outreach of Goodman Jewish Family Services of Broward County to care for aging Holocaust survivors in our community, we have grown to serve a diverse population, including all faiths and backgrounds.

Our Mission

We are dedicated to empowering individuals, strengthening older adults and families, and protecting the vulnerable and frail by providing direct home care and personal care services guided by Jewish values, social responsibility, compassion, and respect.

Our History

From the beginning, we have carried out our mission with a simple ethos: “To provide exemplary and vital senior services based on traditional Jewish ethics and values.” It was that way when we were founded in 2015 to serve aging Holocaust survivors, and it remains true for the people of all faiths that we serve today.

We’re a nonprofit organization delivering home care services to over 400 clients – and peace of mind to their families – across the entire community, regardless of religious affiliation.

Since we first opened our doors, we’ve been committed to providing warm, supportive, compassionate care, and these qualities remain the framework of everything we do today.

Recognized for Excellence

We’re proud recipients of the Best of Home Care® Leader in Experience, Provider of Choice, Employer of Choice, and Experience Management awards.

Jewish Family Home Care is pleased to have earned all three of the home care industry’s most prestigious awards for 2024: Leader in Experience, Provider of Choice, and Employer of Choice. These awards are based on client and caregiver satisfaction ratings collected by HCP, an independent, third-party satisfaction measurement firm.

The Leader in Experience award is the highest achievable recognition and represents an elite group of 15% of home care agencies participating in the program. In addition, for the sixth consecutive year we received the Provider of Choice award, and for the third consecutive year, we received the Employer of Choice award.

These designations are a testament to our unwavering dedication to deliver unparalleled quality care and service. They also highlight our steadfast commitment to fostering an empowering work environment where caregivers can thrive with confidence and support.

At Jewish Family Home Care, our passion for excellence drives us forward each day as we continue to raise the bar in Broward County in-home care services.

Payment Options

There are several different ways to cover the cost of our in-home care services:

Additionally, Medicare can offer limited home care coverage and pay for some services that can be performed by a home health aide only when the recipient is also receiving skilled care, such as nursing care or therapy.

Our goal is to ensure you or your loved one receives the highest quality care available. We will help you determine whether or not you qualify for our services under your long-term care insurance plan or VA benefits and assist you in creating a financial plan if necessary. Our goal is to help you afford the care needed in a hassle-free manner.
