For the last four years of my mother's life, Nelida and the team at Tender Care provided her with not just exceptional care, but also with kindness, gentleness, and compassion. Their unwavering dedication allowed her to live with dignity and joy, making the most of each day. They treated her like family, and it was because of Tender Care's support that I was able to find peace of mind and balance in my own life. Nelida and her team offered care that went far beyond professional expectations. They truly made a difference--not just for my mother, but for all of us. I cannot thank them enough for the love and care they gave. I unequivocally recommend Tender Care in the highest possible terms. They made a profound difference for my mother and for all of us.

My post-surgery recovery was immeasurably improved by the care rendered by the crew at Tender Care. They organized the essential equipment and set up a fool proof system for timely medication while maintaining a happy and supportive presence. I highly recommend them for any type of medical or personal care.

As a prior patient of Nelida Salazar, I would like everyone to know that she took excellent care of me during my Mommy makeover and my brachioplasty. She helped dress me, did my grocery shopping, and took me back and forth to my doctor's appointments. She also recommended another caregiver from her business who is now taking care of my mother. I cannot say enough about the wonderful help that she was. She also has the best attitude for a caregiver to have. She's one of the kindest people I know.
-Katherine Royalty
I can't begin to describe the wonderful care my late husband received from Nelly and her associates. They worked around the clock, day in and day out. He wasn't the easiest person to satisfy, but for three plus years, Nelly attended to all his needs as he grew progressively worse. She's experienced, professional, compassionate, patient, and most importantly, always reliable. I felt very safe with her in my home and fully trusted her. I've referred her to my friends and all were very pleased with her assistance. There's no one I'd recommend more!
-Nancy Bloomfield
I am incredibly grateful for the dedicated support I received from Nelly after major surgery. She ensured I followed my dietary regimen, gently encouraging me to eat when my appetite was low, which was critical to my recovery. Her approach was always professional yet compassionate. Nelly's assistance went beyond traditional caregiving. She managed household tasks that were challenging for me, including holiday decorating to keep my spirits high, maintaining my personal care, and making sure my pets were looked after. I can confidently say that Nelly's comprehensive approach to caregiving greatly contributed to my recovery.

Anyone out there that is struggling with caring for aging parents or loved ones needs to talk to Nelida at Tender Care. My mother passed away after years of requiring 24 hour care. Nelida and her team were amazing. They managed the care, the doctors, and the medicine all while showing such love, respect, and compassion. They became part of the family and helped us all along the way and especially through those heartbreakingly hard last days. I don't know how we would have managed without them. There is no way to explain to anyone how hard this time can be until you have lived it yourself. They were indispensable. I went through several care teams before finding Nelly. When you stumble on someone/something this incredible, you want to share.
-Preston Ausbrook
In October 2023, we brought my mother to our home after being released from the hospital. A dear friend and her doctor recommended we contact Tender Care to assist in caring for Mother. They came 24 hrs a day for six weeks until my mother passed way. Couldn’t have made it through this trying time without the staff provided by Tender Care. They were professional, caring, quiet, and respectful. Most importantly, they were excellent in providing the care my mother required. Friendly, not invasive, and worked beautifully with hospice nurses. Mother, who was an RN, was grateful for their loving care and well understood her situation. My siblings and I are forever grateful to this dynamic group. I recommend Tender Care without reservation.
-Laura Ladd
I hired Tender Care to help me with my husband who was diagnosed with lung cancer and under the care of hospice. The owner, Nelly, was very knowledgeable and worked well with hospice. Her staff was very professional, timely, and so kind towards my husband. I don’t know what I would have done without their care.
-Molly Angelucci
As a former client of Nelly and her experienced staff, I highly recommend her for your caregiving needs. I have used her services for several years and found both her and her staff to be reliable, competent, and trustworthy. I also found them to be very loving and caring in our time of need.
-Brenda Rice
Nelida Salazar founded Tender Care, a home care provider dedicated to offering compassionate, personalized support to individuals and families. Nelida's journey into caregiving began unexpectedly. As a former customer service manager, she honed her skills in helping people, understanding their needs, and solving problems. When her mother, a part-time caregiver, asked for her help on night shifts, Nelida found herself deeply moved by the opportunity to make a difference in clients' lives. In assisting clients, she discovered a calling to care for others and a passion to serve. She quickly became immersed in all aspects of home health care.
Nelida (Nelly) brings a personal touch to each client relationship, treating each person as though they were her own family member. Her goal has always been to provide the peace of mind families deserve, developing trust by ensuring that every client receives the utmost respect, attention, and advocacy. Seeing gaps in personal attention at other companies, Nelly established Tender Care with a clear vision: to provide private care that truly feels like the best care.
What sets Nelly apart is her unwavering commitment. For her, the reward lies in allowing families to spend meaningful, quality time together without the worry of caregiving responsibilities. Nelly's dedication to clients and her genuine interest in their well-being make her an invaluable advocate, and she prides herself on creating a care team at Tender Care that prioritizes trust, compassion, and excellence in every aspect of service.
Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive.
