HISTORY
HCR Home Care’s story began with its founder, chairwoman and CEO, Louise Woerner, whose life suddenly took a different path after her mother
passed at an early age, leaving her father alone and needing help.
As a hospice worker at the age of five for her live-in grandmother, Louise was brought up taking care of family. But being a recent business school graduate and working as a consultant several states away, caring for
her father wasn’t possible. Knowing there was an entire generation of women in the same situation, she was compelled to return to Rochester and start that business. One that helped people in their home when care couldn’t be provided by family or friends.
​
Today, HCR’s dedication to its mission and high-skill services are honored by industry leaders, resulting in numerous awards and recognition year-after-year as a leader in home health care.
We value the education of our employees and support their pursuit to expand clinical knowledge with certifications and degree programs. We also provide in-house continuing education needed to maintain these credentials.
