Why Choose Colonial?
Here is our why…
Hi, my name is Catherina Bertaina, and I’m the President and Founder of Colonial Home Care Services, Incorporated. I started the business back in May of 1992, and we’ve been going strong ever since.
Before starting Colonial, I worked for another home care agency for about a year and a half. During that time, I was really disheartened by how the two owners, who were never around, were taking advantage of the elderly. They provided poor service and weren’t honest, which made me determined to create something better…

What our care professionals are saying about us…
“I’ve been an employee of Colonial Home Care for a good number of years now. I absolutely love working with the staff at Colonial. I’ve worked for other agencies, and this one, by far, has been an absolute pleasure to work for. Again, the staff is great and I’ve worked with Laurie for many years. She always shows much respect to the PCAs — as much as she does to the agency’s clients. It’s personally been a great incentive for me to stay with this agency. Colonial sincerely cares about its clients and does not take its employees for granted. I would highly recommend Colonial, not only as a prospective employee but as a prospective client!”
“What I love about my job is that it’s more than a job for me, I love the amazing people I work with and getting to hear the wonderful stories of my client’s lives, the history behind them. And if I can show them love and caring it brings peace and happiness in my life.”
“I love working for Colonial Home Care Services and am happy to serve my clients and to help them.”
““I love to help and take care of the Elderly community. It’s a very rewarding and self fulfilling experience. I have worked for Colonial Home Care Services for more than 6 years. I plan to continue working here until I am able to. They are very understanding and care for employees as well as for clients.”
