Our New York Team

Local Expertise. Backed by Alder.

Alder's Greater New York team grew out of Honora Care Management & Consulting, a practice founded in Westchester County that has been serving families in this area for years. When Alder expanded to Greater New York, we did so by bringing that team on board — because local knowledge built over years of doing this work is not something you can replicate from the outside.

Our Greater New York Aging Life Care Professionals know the local hospitals, communities, agencies, and resources firsthand. They have worked inside this system long enough to know which providers are genuinely excellent, which transitions require extra attention, and which local resources are worth knowing about.
