1 JASACare Home Care Services Opening the Door to your Independence

2 What is Home Care? Home Care encompasses a wide array of health and supportive services delivered in your own home. Home Care can help when chronic or terminal illness, recovery from an accident, or a disability make basic daily tasks too challenging. Home Care workers provide hands-on help with personal care and household chores as well as emotional support and companionship. JASACare For over 45 years, the Jewish Association Serving the Aging (JASA) has been the leading and most-trusted agency caring for older adults in the New York Metropolitan community.
