Michael Recco and his wife Amy own Friends for Life Homecare, a private family-run home care agency.
As a father of three with his first grandchild on the way, Michael has always inspired those who look up to him. When Michael isn’t paving the way for the future of homecare, you can find him collecting and fixing vintage cars and spending time with his family.
The legacy of Friends for Life Homecare and Michael’s career can be traced back to 1970, when his mother, Norma E. Recco, established her first homecare agency.
For 35 years, she dedicated her life to homecare, and for over 20 years, Michael had the privilege of working alongside her.
Her vision, knowledge, grace, and professionalism continue to be the guiding principles of Friends for Life Homecare, ensuring that the agency’s mission to help people live safely at home with comfort, independence, and dignity remains steadfast.
Michael knows the importance of keeping a loved one at home in the environment that is most comfortable for them. He experienced firsthand having home care for his parents and inlaws, so he understands the ups and downs of caretaking.
With this knowledge, Michael never takes advantage of a loved one’s desperation and treats every case as if it were his own family.
He shows compassion and empathy and often consoles loved ones over the phone. He understands the rollercoaster of feelings a family may have throughout the duration of service.
Michael is a natural-born problem solver. Besides dealing with any issue with a calm, collected business mind, he deals with it logically, with extreme grace and compassion.
His years of experience in this field guide clients and his team is always making the best decisions and problem-solving to the very best of their ability.
Michael’s dedication to homecare has not only built a successful business on Long Island but also transformed the lives of the elderly, enabling them to stay safe in their own homes.
He has passed on his knowledge and values to his children and staff, instilling in them the importance of caring for others. The work that Michael has done and continues to do is nothing short of extraordinary
