We are a local, non-franchise, family-owned home care agency providing non-medical home care services to elders and individuals with special needs, injuries, difficulties with mobility, or illnesses. We believe in offering "CARE PARTNERING" services. This is a two-way exchange where the individual is directing his/her own care services.

We are highly trained care partners who are dedicated and certified in delivering home care services in the comfort of our client’s home.

Our services include but are not limited to: hospital to home coordination, hygiene and mobility care, dementia care, companionship, meal preparation, light housekeeping and transportation on an hourly or live-in basis. Through our personalized care plan, we will provide the care to cater to your unique personal and health needs!

Our life's mission is our dedication to improving the quality of life for all our care recipients and Care Partners. We understand that for care to be meaningful it needs to be:

Collaborative - care plan is tailored and directed by the care recipients and those closest to them;

Engaging - human growth is continual: we are here to learn from you, and you from us. Our approach includes active listening, identifying how to connect to establish a mutually beneficial relationship and safely empowering those we assist;

Reliable and Timely - we are accountable for being qualified, dependable and there when you need us. Always!

Let us be your Care Partners!

Jim Prussak is the CEO of Applause Home Care. During the latter part of his successful 25-year career in control functions within the financial services industry, he volunteered to assist elders in the community. The satisfaction and CARE that Jim RECEIVED from helping others in the “encore” of their lives helped him to learn about CARE PARTNERING not just “care giving”.

These experiences also made Jim reconsider what he wanted to do with the rest of his career and life. Jim holds a BS Degree from New York University in Accounting and Finance and an MBA from Fordham University. He is also a Certified Homemaker-Home Health Aide by the NJ Board of Nursing and a Certified Public Accountant.
