Ideal Home Care Services was founded in 2009 by a bedside nurse named Nicole Laborde. During her time at a local hospital, she watched families struggle in deciding how they would go about providing proper care to their loved ones after being discharged. She got to experience first-hand the guilt and anxiety associated with making this decision with her own parents, weighing the risks of leaving them home alone or choosing to stay home. Laborde knew there had to be a better standard of healthcare for those that need it most, creating Ideal Home Care Services as a solution.

Since then, Laborde’s efforts to improve in-home care for patients continued with the creation of the Ideal School of Allied Healthcare. She teaches aspiring care aids and nurses not only the clinical skills needed to provide high-quality care but also how to foster positive and healthy relationships with clients and their families.

Laborde was selected for the Top 100 Healthcare Leaders award at IFAH in Las Vegas, Nevada. Honored to have received the award and the opportunity to get recognized at an international platform, she continues to provide a better standard of in-home healthcare to our families in the Long Island community through our services.
