Coming home from the hospital or a rehab center after a stroke is a relief, and it is also when families feel most stretched. Your parent may be weaker on one side, unsteady on their feet, tired, or finding words harder than before. Getting up at night, showering and preparing meals can suddenly feel risky. Ezra Home Care, serving clients since 2008, provides experienced caregivers who help with daily life at home so your parent can recover in familiar surroundings and your family can rest.
After a hospital stay, many people receive home health visits from a nurse, physical therapist, occupational therapist or speech therapist. Those visits are part-time and focus on medical care and therapy. Ezra Home Care is different: we are a non-medical home care company. Our caregivers cover the hours in between: helping with daily routines, keeping your parent safe as they move around the house, and encouraging the exercises and routines their therapists recommend. We do not provide nursing or therapy, and we are not able to accept payment from Medicare or Medicaid.
Hourly care: a caregiver for set hours, day or night, at one hourly rate.
24-hour care: caregivers in shifts so someone is always awake and available, which many families choose for the first days or weeks home.
Live-in care: two regular caregivers who take turns, one living in at a time, at one daily rate.
Care can be adjusted as your parent gets stronger. Many families start with more hours right after discharge and reduce them as recovery progresses.
We provide stroke recovery and hospital-to-home care in Newton, Wellesley, Brookline, Needham, Chestnut Hill, Boston and other Greater Boston communities. Recovering from surgery instead? See our post-surgical home care.

As soon as you know a discharge is coming. In a free consultation we talk through the discharge plan, your parent's needs and the help required, then build a schedule. How quickly care can begin depends on the level of care needed, and our focus is on matching the right caregivers.
Home health agencies send nurses and therapists for short, part-time medical and therapy visits, often after a hospital stay. Ezra Home Care is a non-medical home care company: our caregivers help with daily living, safety, meals and companionship for the hours in between those visits. Many families use both at the same time.
No. Our caregivers do not provide nursing or therapy. They support the plan your parent's medical team sets, for example by encouraging the home exercises a physical therapist recommends and giving medication reminders.
Every caregiver passes CORI, SORI, OIG and NARC background checks, and we verify certifications and check references. The majority of our caregivers are state-certified Home Health Aides (HHAs) or Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs). We then match caregivers to your parent's needs, routine and schedule.
Ezra Home Care is a private-pay company, and we cannot accept payment from Medicare or Medicaid. If your parent has long-term care insurance, we send invoices and care notes to the insurer and can help you review the policy, though we cannot guarantee a claim will be approved.
It depends on how your parent is doing. Many families choose 24-hour or live-in care for the first days or weeks home, then reduce hours as their parent regains strength. We help you decide in the free consultation and adjust as recovery progresses.
If, for any reason, you would prefer a different caregiver, we will find a replacement.
We serve Newton, Wellesley, Brookline, Needham, Chestnut Hill, Boston and other Greater Boston communities. Call 617-527-9000 to confirm your town.

Our family is fortunate to have Ezra by our side and thank them for everything they have done for us.”
“After hospice put me in the horrible position I called Ezra in a panic. They were kind and compassionate and moved mountains to get me a trained aide at the last moment. Everyone I was in contact with was kind and sympathetic and called after to offer condolences. I was impressed with everyone I spoke to and met. I would highly recommend them.”
“Very professional and caring agency. They worked hard to match me with the perfect caregiver during my recovery. Thank you.”
