New Wave Home Care

Providing Exceptional Care for Over 12 Years

When you choose New Wave Home Care Pasadena, you can rest assured that all of our efforts will be focused precisely where they should be: on providing exceptional care for you or your loved one. As a premier provider of non-medical private in-home care, we hold ourselves to a better standard of care—because we know that is exactly what we would want for our own loved ones.

New Wave Home Care is Locally Owned

If you are looking for locally owned and operated in-home care, look no further. New Wave Home Care is a locally-owned, in-home care agency. We are not a franchise or part of some huge corporation. We’re a locally-owned business in our neighborhood and that makes us unique! Almost all the rest are all either franchises or part of a large corporate setup.

We’re your neighbors and we care about making sure that those in our community receive quality care!

That’s why we care for our clients as if they are family—and give them both the professional advice and the personal advice that we would give our own loved ones.

Our Caregivers

Through an intense interview and screening process, we aim to hire only those who can provide the best care for your loved ones. Our best-in-class caregivers aren’t only chosen for their ability to provide skilled, compassionate non-medical in-home care, they’re also chosen for their ability to meet our exceptional professional and interpersonal standards. As part of our caregiver selection process, each candidate must:

  • Complete a rigorous screening process that includes competency testing, ethics and personality testing, and comprehensive background, reference and employment checks.

  • Prove their education and professional licensing standing.
  • Complete a comprehensive personal interview and full-scale orientation.

Only once candidates have proven themselves through this intense employment process are they invited to care for our clients. Once onboard, our caregivers:

  • Are bonded and covered by Worker’s Compensation Insurance.
  • Complete general and client-specific training. Given by our nurse, client-specific training is directly correlated to a client’s plan of care, ensuring that their caregivers are following the personalized care needs and preferences of each of our clients.
  • Get emergency training. Our caregivers are trained to understand and follow our emergency protocols. In addition, they can call our office 24/7 to reach staff person in the office for emergency assistance.

What Our Clients Say

I have been with New Wave for a little over a year now. The company has by far been amazing. Management seems to be on top of everything, and when ever I need something I can always get ahold of someone at the office, even after hours. The clients priority is number one here at New Wave, and they always try and make everyone feel safe and content knowing their loved one is well taken care of. It’s an honor to say that I work for such a heartwarming company.
