Our History - New York City's Trusted Home Care Agency Since 1984

Our History

We have been providing care to residents of the 5 Boroughs of New York and Nassau County for 40 years.

David York Agency is a family run business since 1984 with a family feeling. DYA views clients as part of the family and would not send anyone into your home that they would not want in their own.

Anita Kamiel, RN, MPS and Ruth Strand, RN, BS, two registered nurses and sisters with substantial hands-on patient and supervisory experience, started this agency in 1984 because they saw a great need for affordable, quality homecare services provided and supervised by caring individuals. These women set the culture of the agency that lasts until today.

Today, David York Agency is a family run business with a family feeling. DYA views clients as part of the family and would not send anyone into your home that they would not want in their own. We are very fussy about whom we hire and are very particular about the professional standards they must adhere to. Since its inception in 1984, David York Agency has flourished into a dominant Home Healthcare Agency in the New York area.

We offer highly-personalized home health care services to assist you and your family with the care of an aging loved one.
Our experienced healthcare professionals are highly-trained and capable of giving your loved one the care and attention they need.
Many of the families we serve come to see our providers as family members, as they quickly become integrated into the everyday lives of the household.

“To Marty, Pam, Natalie and the amazing aides that work for David York Agency – I would like to express appreciation to all of you for the care you gave my mom (and to me as the primary caregiver). You have all been so professional and kind. There were so many annoying and aggravating situations that came up and throughout you all stayed calm and supportive. I am sure I will not get the same attention and support anywhere else. Continue your excellent work!! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. ”

C WBrooklyn, N.Y.

“I am glad I called your agency and thankful that you chose both excellent aides to assist me.”

M KNew York, N.Y.

“This is a letter thanking you for providing wonderful services for my mother. Both D.B. (aide) and C.B. (aide) did a wonderful job in the time they took care of my mother.”

J TStaten Island, N.Y.

“I am grateful to you for sending 2 wonderful people to take care of my mother. I would give M. (aide) and G. (aide) the highest of recommendations. In fact, I have given the name of your agency to 2 different parties who are in need of help in caring for an older person. It was my pleasure dealing with such an understanding individual at your agency.”

G ICedarhurst, N.Y.

“Thank you for everything. You were very helpful in getting us reliable, friendly assistance. My family and I thank you deeply.”

M K FStaten Island, N.Y.

“My family and I wish to express our appreciation to your agency for the courteous and efficient manner in which assistance was given. We particularly would like to single out H.G. (aide) for the extraordinary care she provided. Not only did she attend to my mother’s physical needs in an excellent manner (hygiene, meals, etc.), but she gave her loving attention during a very difficult period. She is a warm, caring, highly intelligent woman and a fine credit to your agency.”

H CRockaway Park, N.Y.

“I just wish to express how pleased we all have been with the service you have provided.” –

E TWest Hempstead, N.Y.

“I am writing to commend your employee, B.S. (aide), for the excellent care she gave my mother. I must admit I had misgiving about allowing a total stranger to live in our home, but I had no choice. Mother was no longer able to care for herself and it was impossible for me to stay at home 24 hours a day to care for her. So a “live-in” was the only answer. B.S. was clearly the best thing that happened in a very sad, trying situation. She was a great comfort, and I hope to be able to keep up with her as a personal friend from now on. She is superb and definitely ‘one of a kind’.”

N BQueens Village, N.Y.
