About NuCare Team :

NuCare Team is a non-medical private home care agency, we are dedicated to providing compassionate, high-quality private home care for the elders in Plymouth and the South Shore area. We believe that every senior deserves dignity, respect, and the highest standard of care in the comfort of their own home. Too often, elders in hospitals, nursing homes, and rehabilitation centers do not receive the consistent, one-on-one care they truly need. Our mission is to bridge that gap by offering personalized, reliable, and heartfelt support—ensuring that our elders receive the attention, care, and dignity they deserve. There is always more we can do, and at New Care Team, we are committed to making a real difference in the lives of those we serve, every single day.
