CareGivers America

CareGivers America's history began in the 1990s when the founder owned and operated two personal care homes. Despite his best attempts to make his facilities beautiful, he frequently would hear residents wishing they could live at home. What resulted was an organization that could allow them to do just that… CareGivers America opened in 2002. Its mission was seemingly simple: Keep people home. With those three words in mind, the founders began hiring caregivers to provide in-home personal care and homemaker services. As the years progressed, they found that to keep people home, they needed to offer more than just non-medical services. What evolved was a company that could meet ALL of a consumer's home care needs, no matter their age, diagnosis, or their ability to pay for services. Today, the company offers CareGiver/Homemaker services, Home Health Nursing and Therapy, Medical Supplies, Home Adaptations/Modifications and more! In 2015, CareGivers America became part of the Simplura Health Group, a larger organization with operations in New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Florida. In the Pennsylvania market, the company continues to operate as ‘CareGivers America'. In November 2020 Simplura Health Group was honored to announce that it has joined The Providence Service Corporation family, the nation's largest manager of non-emergency medical transportation programs for state governments and managed care organizations. In the words of Providence CEO Daniel Greenleaf, this transformative coming together, "unifies two social-determinants-of-health pioneers that share a common mission, that provide value-based care and solutions to similar vulnerable patient populations." But always and unwavering, CareGivers America, from its humble beginnings to its now industry leading position in home healthcare, still prides itself on understanding the needs of its dedicated staff and always remembering its founding mission: Keep People Home.
