An Update from our CEO on COVID-19

To our Clients, Families and Home Care Partners:

We value and appreciate the trust you place in us to take care of you and your loved ones.

We want to personally update you on the situation with COVID-19 and the steps we are taking to ensure the health and safety of our clients, families, caregivers and staff.

We believe that home remains the safest place for you or your loved one, as indications show that the virus is spread more quickly in larger group or public settings. Possible exposure will remain the lowest for those who are able to stay in their homes with limited outside contact. For this reason, we feel fortunate to be able to provide care that can keep people at home and limit their exposure through personalized care and support.

And while most cases of COVID-19 are mild, causing only fever and cough, a small percentage of cases become severe and may progress quickly, particularly in the elderly and among people with underlying medical conditions. Because this is the primary population that we serve, we understand you may have concerns. For that reason, we want to share with you how our organization is responding to the threat of COVID-19.

We are following updates and procedures from the CDC, State Department of Health, local and county authorities, the Home Care Association of America, and other agencies and resources.

We are vigilant about our need to help protect our staff and clients from illness be it the flu, COVID-19, or any other communicable disease.

The following are some of the protocols and procedures we have in place.

  • As a standard practice, we have an emergency preparedness plan in place. We will continue to follow it as this situation evolves or update it accordingly.
  • All caregivers follow established protocol regarding staying home when sick. This practice is not new to our staff.
  • Communication with caregivers to assess any known risk factors, such as travel to areas with widespread outbreaks or local contact in areas known to have reported cases are ongoing. We will advise them not to report to work if they are deemed high-risk.
  • We believe that home remains the safest place for you or your loved one, as indications show that the virus is spread more quickly in facilities and larger group or public settings. Possible exposure will remain the lowest for those who are able to stay in their homes with limited outside contact. For this reason, we feel fortunate to be able to provide care that can keep people at home or limited exposure in group settings through personalized care and support.
  • For clients we serve who reside in facilities or other group-type living situations, we will work closely with the facility on any protocols, exchange of information, or other guidelines as necessary.
  • Many of our clients are especially at risk, given they are older adults or have underlying health issues. We are vigilant about our need to help protect these individuals from illness be it the flu, COVID-19, or any other communicable disease. These measures are not new to us as we seek to minimize risk regularly for our clients, regardless of an outbreak such as this new coronavirus.

What You Can Do to Protect Yourself and Your Family

  • Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are not available.
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands.
  • Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
  • Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze, then throw the tissue in the trash and wash your hands.
  • Clean and disinfect objects and surfaces.
  • Eat well, drink lots of water and get rest to strengthen your immune system.
  • Have a family emergency preparedness plan that includes care coverage and back up support, if possible.
  • Stay at home and away from others if you are feeling ill.
  • If you have underlying medical issues that put you in the high-risk category, avoid large public gatherings or other places outside the home. Limit your contact with others.

As new information becomes available, we will share that with our staff and clients. You can learn more here: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html

    Galaxy has been exceptional in providing the support and guidance we needed for my mom at home after hospitalization. Over the years, as mom's condition progressed, she needed to rely more on the support of her aides. Galaxy office staff work closely with our family, making sure mom continues to feel comfortable and safe. I cannot say enough about the integrity and professionalism of each of her aides. The effort of care and respect they have for her needs is evident. At Galaxy the admin and support staff go above and beyond and I am forever grateful!

    Marina G May 12, 2026

    We are incredibly grateful to have found Galaxy Homecare. Finding reliable and compassionate 24-hour care for my mother-in-law felt overwhelming, but their team guided us through every step of the process with patience and professionalism. They worked closely with us until we felt completely comfortable with each caregiver and have always been available to answer questions and help us make the best decisions for her care. Their flexibility, responsiveness, and genuine concern for individual needs have made a very difficult situation much easier for our family. We are truly very grateful for their support and care.

    Creative Nursery May 6, 2026

    I am forever grateful to Galaxy Homecare for the love and care they gave my mother over so many years. Through every stage of her life, they treated her with such compassion, patience, and dignity—it truly felt like she was being cared for by family. As her needs changed, the caregivers were always attentive and gentle, adjusting seamlessly while making sure she was comfortable and respected. Administration worked incredibly closely with our family, always communicating, listening, and supporting us. We never felt alone in the process, which is something I will always be thankful for. The administration is responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely kind—qualities that are so important when you’re trusting someone with the care of a loved one. I will always carry deep gratitude for everything they did for my mom and our family. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for truly compassionate homecare.

    Allen Khaselev Jul 31, 2025

    Words cannot fully express to you how wonderful our family’s experience was with Galaxy Home Care, but I’ll try my best. My aunt fell and was admitted to truly horrific rehab center in Bay Ridge. The staff were mean, insensitive, and at times neglectful of her and the other patients in their care. I was there every day with her, but I was so scared to leave her at night. I was getting reports from her roommate that she was trying to climb out of bed and that the rehab staff were doing nothing to keep her safe. This prompted us to find a 24/7 bed side aid service which led us to Galaxy. They were super responsive, assigning her a night time aid on the same day we called and also getting coverage for her over a holiday weekend. The staff is all women, and they are very experienced in caring for people with dementia/Alzheimer’s. Many of the women were wonderful with my aunt, encouraging her to go to her PT/OT as well as getting her to participate in the nursing home social activities. While there were some that she preferred over others, most of the female aids that worked with my aunt knew what they were doing and were confident in taking over without me needing to show them how to be with her. We did have concerns over one aid (more a personality mismatch with my aunt), but the office coordinators and her case manager were wonderful in receiving our feedback and also worked to get staff that she did well with onto her schedule. I cannot thank Galaxy home care enough in helping my aunt during a really challenging time in her life. They also gave me peace of mind in (especially when I left at night) so I could rest and return during the days fully recharged. Thank you so much for the patient and loving care you gave to my aunt.

    It is with great pleasure that I write this review about Galaxy Homecare. Choosing homecare for yourself your loved one is not easy and can be quite emotional too. Everyone at Galaxy made my experience wonderful. Starting with Ben, what can I say, the best person to help you navigate during these trying times and Natalie, an absolute treasure to the company. Of course, everyone else at Galaxy as well. Their home care personnel are top notch!! I highly recommend Galaxy Home care for you or your loved one!! Thank you.

    I can't say enough about the service Ben at Galaxy provided to ensure I had the best care possible for my 89 year old father who had dimentia and also took a fall recently. Ben took the time to really understand our needs as a family, given the challenging circumstances with his recent fall that immobilized my father to a degree. We were given the services of Kalu Odin whom for a month, who took care of my father like he was his own son, and I felt Kalu to be part of the family. He was absolutely attentive in every aspect and truly helped my father's recovery process. He loves what he does, and it shows with his empathy and his diligence with dad, who took a great liking to Kalu. Dad is doing much better, and I attribute that to Kalu ,Ben, and the Galaxy team!

    Wais Achikzad Oct 11, 2024

    I can't say enough about how wonderful Galaxy Home Care was for my father. They were extremely responsive to our need for an immediate Aide and the Aides that helped him were amazing! We could not have asked for more caring, knowledgable, helpful, trustworthy and overall wonderful people.

    Ellen Mandel Sep 30, 2024

    Galaxy Home Care came into my life when my mother was sent home from a SNF in no shape to be left alone. Ben explained how the agency could help. We have met many kind, caring HHA's. If I ever need to use an agency again, I would definitely contact Galaxy Home Care.

    Kymberly Cameron Apr 11, 2024

    Everyone is very helpful, especially Ben Kalika, who is always available or, if he is with another client, always calls you back immediately. And, the aide who worked with my mother, Guerlyne Jean Baptiste, is a wonderful, caring and compassionate person with great skills in working with elderly people. I could not have asked for more. Thank you.
