HART Inc. (Home Assistance Referral Team) is a nonprofit social services organization based in Lewiston, New York, dedicated to supporting older adults and individuals with medical conditions or disabilities by helping them age in place with dignity and independence. Serving the Niagara County region, HART connects clients with carefully screened, independent caregiver providers for a range of non-medical home care services. What sets HART apart is its personalized referral approach, matching clients with care providers based on individual needs, preferences, and compatibility.

The organization does not function as a home care agency—instead, it empowers clients to directly contract with caregivers, creating affordable and flexible care arrangements. HART maintains a comprehensive registry of background-checked caregivers, ensuring safety and peace of mind. In addition to its referral services, HART plays a vital role in community education and advocacy, offering caregiver support and resources for families navigating the challenges of long-term care. With a strong commitment to promoting aging-in-place solutions, HART fosters a compassionate and client-centered care model that strengthens the social fabric of its community.
