Amelia Home Care

What Amelia Home Care does

Amelia Home Care is a New York State Licensed Home Care Services Agency (LHCSA) operating from offices in Brooklyn and the Bronx, serving families across all five New York City boroughs and Westchester County. The company runs two integrated service lines: (1) end-to-end OPWDD process management and pediatric home health aide care for children with developmental disabilities (autism, cerebral palsy, intellectual disability, Down syndrome, ADHD, epilepsy), and (2) comprehensive adult and senior home care, including 24-hour, live-in, companion, Alzheimer's and dementia, veterans, and NHTD/TBI waiver services. Its core technology is the Amelia App, a mobile case management platform that lets families upload documents, track their application through six explicit stages (Eligibility, Front Door, CCO, CANS, Waiver, Services), message case workers, and access an AI help assistant — a workflow that compresses the typical OPWDD approval timeline from 12-18 months to 4-6 months.

The business model is fully Medicaid/OPWDD/VA-funded; families are billed $0 for case management, consultations, or in-home care. Revenue is generated through managed-service billing to New York State Medicaid, OPWDD, the VA Aid & Attendance program, and Medicaid waiver programs (HCBS, NHTD, TBI). The agency is also an OPWDD-Approved Self-Direction Fiscal Intermediary, enabling it to administer family-directed budgets and pay family members as caregivers — a mechanism that functions as both a retention lever and a differentiated service. Customer acquisition is sales-led but driven by bilingual intake (7 languages), direct phone answering, free consultations, Google reviews (5.0 across 127 reviews), and family referral networks rather than paid advertising.

Amelia has served 800+ New York families, secured 300+ OPWDD approvals, currently provides care to 450+ children, and has placed 450+ aides in homes. The company was founded by parents who personally navigated the OPWDD system for their own child, and it operates as a privately held agency with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, or M&A activity. The current case-management workflow is enabled by a HIPAA-compliant mobile platform that represents the company's primary proprietary technology asset; no external funding rounds, acquisitions, or formal partnerships are disclosed.
