The Perfect Match For Unmatched Care
Our Caregivers: Quality Care from Quality People
Our StarPoint private-duty caregivers have caring, compassionate spirits, and a genuine enthusiasm for making a difference in the lives of seniors and their families. They embrace our culture of respect and kindness, and, in turn, are rewarded with excellent employee benefits, resulting in low staff turnover. Each caregiver must pass a strict background check, as well as drug screenings, both before hire and randomly after hire.
Of course, we know that diversity is important, so we provide multi-lingual caregivers for families who require those skills. It’s all part of making sure that we have the right match for you or your loved one.

Background Checks
We do everything we can to ensure the integrity of our caregivers, including detailed background checks, employment history verification, and review of driving records.

StarPoint Spotlight
Hi. My name is Alicia Reid and I’m the Assistant Director of StarPoint Home Care. Every day, people entrust us to care for their loved ones, and that is a responsibility I take very seriously. In my role, I am responsible for training and managing StarPoint’s full team of caregivers. But what really drives me are the personal connections I have with our seniors. I like to say our hearts beat for our clients, and it’s true! The human interaction and the relationships we develop are what makes this kind of work so fulfilling and special.
Mom's StarPoint caregivers are simultaneously her lifeline and my security blanket. […] From the day Mom first moved here—just prior to Rosh Hashanah, 2017—her aides have not only provided her day-to-day care, but they’ve also provided her companionship.
It’s extremely reassuring to know that my mother has, not just help, but company. Lovely, caring people who are her companions and friends, Mom’s aides have become a really important part of her life over the time that they've been helping her.
We arranged through Jewish Family Service to have StarPoint Home Care help me out. I'm very thankful that I was put in touch with [Assistant Director of StarPoint] Alicia Reid. We met on the phone quite a bit. I would tell my son David, what they were doing for me and he was very happy for me that I could get back on my feet with the help of StarPoint Home Care and Jewish Family Service.
