Answers to Your Home Care Questions Frequently Asked Questions

We know that choosing the right nursing services for yourself or a loved one is deeply personal. That’s why we go above and beyond to recruit only the most skilled and compassionate professionals. They bring clinical expertise and genuine care and connection into your home.

Our home care registered nurses are among the best in the field. Many hold a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and have years of experience in ICU and critical care units at top hospitals throughout New York and New Jersey. They’re highly trained in assessing your unique needs and providing the kind of care that brings comfort, confidence, and peace of mind.

When you welcome an at-home nurse from Alliance into your life, you’re choosing a trusted partner in your wellness journey.

Inviting someone into your home to provide care is a decision that deserves exceptional standards, clinical excellence, and heart. That’s why we built our team and our philosophy around a simple but powerful question: Would I trust this person to care for my own grandmother?

That question isn’t hypothetical. Our founder, Gregory Solometo, spent five years caring for his grandmother after she was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. It was through that experience that “The Grandma Rule®” was born. It’s a hiring philosophy that guides everything we do. We ask ourselves the same question about every potential caregiver: Would I hire this person to provide home care for my grandmother? If the answer isn’t an enthusiastic yes, we don’t move forward.

Today, our thoughtful recruiting practices, strong in-house training programs, and expert-led care management team ensure that you or your loved one receive only the most qualified, compassionate care. In a time when great nurses are in short supply, we’re proud to say we work with the best—and it’s no coincidence. Two of our founders are nurses themselves, and they’ve built a team that reflects their commitment to clinical excellence, empathy, and integrity.

Alliance is here for you with compassionate and highly skilled home nursing services. We treat every client like family because that’s exactly how this all began.

Finding the right home health aide for yourself or a loved one is a big decision. At Alliance Homecare, we don’t take that trust lightly. That’s why we follow “The Grandma Rule®” as our guiding philosophy. It’s inspired by our founder, Greg, who cared for his grandmother after her Alzheimer’s diagnosis. In every interview with potential home health aides, we ask ourselves this: Would I trust this person to care for my own grandmother? The answer must be confident yes for us to move forward.

Through thoughtful recruiting, extensive background checks, and strong in-house training, we hire only the most compassionate, qualified home health aides. With guidance from our expert-led care management team, they provide reliable support and treat you like family.
