Reviews From our Clients
I can’t not say enough wonderful things about Applause Home Care! Jim and his team consistently go above and beyond to make sure my elderly cousin is well cared for each day. I live in Texas, and knowing Alice safe and taken care of makes being so far from her much easier. Her aid, Liliana, is kind and helps Alice by keeping her company, taking her to the store, and other errands, as well as making sure she has a nutritious lunch each day. Jim also has been a huge help in facilitating doctors appointments and making sure Alice is getting the care she needs. I honestly don’t know where Alice would be without the amazing care and help she has been receiving from Applause Home Care. 10 stars!”
“Jim and his team are truly exceptional. The level of care and understanding is a plus, but the real value comes in the people Jim hires. Every aide his agency has sent over has been extremely qualified and supportive to meet the needs of my mother. I have been using senior care agency’s in Bergen County for the past 5 years. I have dealt with and hired all of the nationally affiliated agencies and very quickly stopped using them due to the low quality people they would send me. None of them even come close to Jim and his team. Jim is very involved and is always available to address your concerns or questions. I am so glad I stumbled across Jim and his team at Applause….”

A Different Approach to Home Care
Choosing care for a loved one is not just a practical decision — it’s a deeply personal one.
That’s why owner Jim Prussak remains actively involved in the care process, personally conducting many of the in-home consultations to ensure every family feels heard, understood, and supported from the very beginning.
We take the time to understand not just what care is needed, but who each client is — their personality, preferences, routines, and goals — so we can match them with the right caregiver and create a care experience built on trust.
Because at the end of the day, care isn’t just about what we do — it’s about how we make people feel.
