Our Services
We are a family business
established in 1992 with our current office located at 246 West 38th St., New York,
NY. We comply with all the
rules, regulations & licensing requirements of State of
New Jersey, New York and Florida. Through our
hard work and dedication driven by our big hearts, we currently have over a
thousand candidates actively placed at any one time throughout the U.S.A.
We've serviced over seven thousand clients to date. A large majority of
our business is referral-based from friends, families, and various care
facilities throughout the NJ, NY metropolitan area. Most of all, we know that
the mutual success of making services is not possible without the friendly
knowledgeable personnel of our placement candidates and our management staff,
who takes a patient, friendly approach through generous listening of our
client's needs.
We believe that a
successful solution to effective service for the elderly is dependent upon the
entire nucleus of all involved, including the client, the family, the
candidate, and the agency. By maintaining a continuous relationship with
you and the candidate, the feedback and experience attained from engagement
allows us to track the candidate's performance while serving your needs in the
most optimal way allowable by law. Our best candidates come
back to us because they know they are being represented by a high quality
agency, which ensures a more effective engagement for future clients.
Our Philosophy
We apply the principals of Personalizm,
a philosophy written by Pope John Paul II, to our way of doing business. Personalizm is described as follows:
The Person – or Human
Being, is the highest value known to us. This value rules the whole environment
of a person's existence including the institutions that we create, tools of
communication, and all the actions taken. Meeting candidates to interview with
people in need of services is a part of process of discovering the "mutual
goodness" where every person’s needs are respected, especially those whose
personal freedom is limited currently by a disability, old age, or illness.
White Glove has been in business to maintain your freedom since 1992, and
ICONNEL continues this legacy through its "icon" personnel,
the best in the industry.
Our vision
is to create a civilization of Personalism in
order maintain the personal freedom of every suffering person until
departure rather than their
disposal by preventing the institutionalization of one’s private life.
Iconnel way: Person, Institution,
Understanding, Engagement, Contentment
- Person – The environment needed for the person’s
existence should be governed by the Human Being, not the other way around.
Human Being is the highest value known to us.
- Institution – Reinvent the institutions (i.e.,
government, social structure, organizations, culture, practices,
tradition) to respect the person’s needs, especially those persons whose
freedoms are limited by disability, illness, or old age.
- Understanding - Understand the person by teaching and
learning from a shared experience between generations
- Engagement - Engage everyone with everything
available for the Person.
- Contentment - Reach Contentment of discovering
the "mutual goodness" where every person’s needs are respected.
Life
doesn’t end just because that person has retired, or because the body doesn’t
have the strength it once used to have.
