History
STEPS Home Care was founded in 2011 by Jennifer Martire Baukol, her sister Lisa Martire Wade, and Lisa's husband, Shan Wade. STEPS Home Care is not only a family owned agency, but is also part of the Steps family of businesses, which also includes Steps Therapy and All Steps Home Care. STEPS' President, Shan Wade, saw the fulfillment his wife enjoyed as a result of her business. After an unfortunate home care experience with his Mom, he decided to change careers and help start and grow the company. Jennifer and Lisa have deep roots in Westchester after growing up and now raising their families here. Starting a company in Westchester to help other families was a passion they shared. STEPS Home Care opened in White Plains in 2011, and now serves Westchester County, Fairfield County, Nassau County (Long Island), Riverdale and Manhattan. At STEPS we partner with the entire family not just the individual. When you become a STEPS client you become part of the STEPS family.
