Senior Care in New Orleans, LA

Welcome to Dependable In Home Care Experience The Dependable Difference Dependable in Home Care is a third generation family owned company celebrating 41 YEARS of service. The owner and C.E.O., Joni Friedmann, has been helping families find the caregivers they need since the age of 14. Caring for their own father with Alzheimer’s for over 7 years at home, the Friedmann family recognized the overwhelming need for caring, experienced, dependable caregivers. Dependable was launched literally from the family home in 1969. The ethical operations of their business and highest standards for caregiver recruitment have always been paramount at Dependable. Today, with over 300 registered caregivers and two locations, we are able to help families in both the greater New Orleans area as well as St. Tammany Parish. With so many new companies jumping into the home care business, Dependable needed a way to distinguish itself and show the superior experience level, qualifications, flexibility, and dependability of its caregiver referral services. In 2009 they found it. Dependable in Home Care became the only Caregiver Registry Standards Board "CRSB" Accredited Registry operating in the state of Louisiana. Having CRSB accreditation means we meet or exceed the industry standards of the highest form and that our business practices and caregiver recruitment standards meet or exceed the standards in our industry.
