Care options in Woodmere
Companion care, on the schedule you need
In New York we provide companion care only, and it can run by the hour, overnight, live-in or around the clock. That means company, meals, light housekeeping, errands, rides to appointments and regular updates for the family. Tell us what the days and nights are like and we’ll talk through the schedule with you.
- Hourly careHelp for the hours that are hardest, from a few mornings a week to full days. Easy to add to as needs change.
- Overnight careA caregiver who stays awake through the night hours, there when someone wakes and ready to help them settle again, so everyone in the house gets some rest.
- Live-in careA caregiver lives in the home and helps through the day with meals, routines, company and the house. Agreed rest time, including a night's sleep, is part of the arrangement.
- 24-hour careCaregivers work awake shifts, usually two 12-hour or three 8-hour shifts, so someone is up and ready to help at any hour of the day or night.
Adult education at the Woodmere Education Center

Woodmere Dock on Brosewere Bay
Woodmere Dock is a Town of Hempstead site at 198 Woodmere Blvd S, at the southern-most tip of Woodmere Avenue South. It gives a view of Brosewere Bay and its surrounding marshlands, has fishing access, and is open from dawn to dusk.
A companion can drive your father down for an afternoon, keep him company while he watches the water or fishes, and have him home for supper. On weekdays when he'd rather have lunch with other people, the county's Hewlett Senior Center on Broadway serves Woodmere from 9:30am to 3:30pm, and the companion covers everything outside those hours.
