About Us

HCR is a growing, employee owned business.  With over 500 employees, we continue to treat every employee as an individual, and not a number.  Our employees have an immediate and direct impact on our business not only through their work, but also through their individual contribution of ideas and expertise.  We maintain an “open door” policy and senior management is responsive to concerns.

HCR takes pride in being an equal opportunity employer and recognizes the importance of each employee as an individual contributor to the success of the company. Equal opportunities are provided to all employees without regard to race, color, religion, sex, age, disability, national origin or ancestry, sexual orientation, veteran, or marital status. Qualified applicants and employees with disabilities will be provided with necessary reasonable accommodations that do not impose undue hardship.

Prospective candidates from all backgrounds come to HCR for a variety of reasons.  The first and foremost reason is the desire to help the most vulnerable in our community.  Whether you are a Home Health Aide, Nurse, or a Biller, you can have a positive and direct impact on people’s lives.

Why Nurses and Therapists Choose HCR

  • We are a nursing-driven organization.
  • Our CEO has supported the nursing profession on a national level. She was founder and CEO of the Friends of the National Institute for Nursing Research, has been appointed by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to assist its efforts to develop nursing leadership, and she is the only non-nurse named to Sigma Theta Tau, the international nursing scholarship association.
  • These relationships provide our nurses the opportunity for reasearch and other grant opportunities.
  • We have some of the best therapists in Monroe County. This is a very professional and dedicated team and if you want to work with the best, HCR is the place.
  • We offer extensive training and orientation to nurses and therapists joining us who are new to home care.
  • We offer a number of Specialty Programs for nurses and therapists interested in gerontology, cardiac care, maternal and child health, orthopedics, wound care, ostomy care and home infusion therapy.

HCR's Healthcare Practice

Our model of practice is customer centered, rather than disease centered; addresses the whole person and is flexible in design. Populations served include clients across the age span at all levels of prevention. Care includes traditional treatment modalities coupled with health promotion and science-based care. HCR contributes to one's health status throughout one's lifetime.  Our practice:

  • Focuses on the positive and optimistic.
  • Focuses on the whole person.
  • Promotes health.
  • Uses best practices and evidence-based care as defined by nursing research.
  • Uses nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle practices which are behaviorally related to health and disease.
  • Emphasizes internal control, power, and responsibility of the individual.

Why Aides Choose HCR

  • Free in-house training.
  • Job support and mentoring provided by two grants from the State of New York to enhance your chance for success in home care. Support includes employee assistance programs, job mentors, and remedial education.
  • Our Home Health Aides have the opportunity to meet with top managers at HCR to review issues and concerns. And the management group does listen, and it does respond.
  • We offer aides competitive pay, vacation, mileage, travel time pay, and discounted bus passes.
  • We are very active in congregate and senior housing.
  • We involve aides as a critical member of the home care team.
  • We have a number of guaranteed 40-hour-a-week positions such as On-Call, fixed schedule, and weekend only contracts.

Finally, HCR offers some very unique benefits for all employees.

  • Since the beginning, HCR has provided paid trips to all employees who have been with us five years or more. Over time we have been to Boston, Orlando, Washington, DC, Hershey, PA, and Toronto.
  • HCR is an ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan).  Every employee who works over 1000 hours a year can earn shares of HCR.  After five years of working a minimum of 1000 hours each year, employees become fully vested and officially become owners of HCR.  No other health care company in this region provides this benefit.
  • We offer six different health insurance plans to fit a variety of life styles and payment options.
  • HCR organizes summer events for employees and their families at little or no cost.  Events have included picnics, a day at Seabreeze, and the Strong Museum.
  • Every year HCR holds a year-end annual event for employees and a guest.  These formal events are free to every employee and a guest.  Music, great food, camaraderie, and awards, in an elegant setting, mark a celebration of a great year and what’s to come.

We hope to see you!
