Caring Friends Home Care
About Caring Friends Home Care
Caring Friends Home Care is a licensed nonprofit home care organization serving families in the Philadelphia region. Operating in the Quaker (Friends) tradition of compassion, integrity and respect for personal dignity, we provide comprehensive nonmedical services for people who are unable to properly care for themselves.
Our primary goal is to give our clients the support they need to remain safely at home—wherever they call home—for as long as practically possible. We provide long-term care for people with all types of conditions, from Alzheimer's disease to complex physical disabilities; continuity of care for people returning from a hospital or rehab; and supplemental care for people residing in nursing homes and assisted living facilities.
Formerly the home care arm of Intervention Associates, Caring Friends has been helping people of all ages for more than 25 years. Caring Friends Home Care and Intervention Associates are subsidiaries of Friends Life Care System.
