Eric J. Dalton Named Healthcare Visionary Of The Year 2025

NY100 Awards honor Angels on Call Homecare's Vice President for transforming Dementia and Parkinson's care, and redefining specialized homecare in New York and across the nation.

WESTCHESTER COUNTY, N.Y., Oct. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The inaugural NY100 Awards have named Eric J. Dalton, Vice President of Angels on Call Homecare, as the Healthcare Visionary of the Year 2025.

Dalton is being recognized for his revolutionary leadership in Dementia care, Parkinson's care, and caregiver training — work that has positioned Angels on Call as a national trailblazer in specialized homecare. At a time when much of the industry has settled for outdated models and minimal innovation, Dalton has rewritten the standard of what families should expect.

"For decades, homecare has settled for mediocrity, content with being the afterthought of healthcare. I refuse to accept that. Dementia care and Parkinson's care demand more than tasks and routines — they demand innovation that is bold, disruptive, and deeply human. This award is not just recognition; it is proof that the revolution in specialized homecare has already begun, and it is being built inside Angels on Call. The future of healthcare will not be dictated by corporations or hospitals. It will be written in the homes of families we serve, and Angels on Call is holding the pen." — Eric J. Dalton, Vice President of Angels on Call Homecare

Dalton pioneered the Memory Care Angels™ (MCA) program — a groundbreaking training and engagement model that redefines how dementia care is delivered at home. Through simulation-based training and cutting-edge virtual reality modules, caregivers experience life through the lens of those living with dementia. The result is a workforce that doesn't just complete tasks but delivers care with empathy, precision, and dignity.

Beyond training, Dalton has developed specialized sensory and activity-based programming proven to reduce distress, spark engagement, and restore purpose for individuals living with memory loss. MCA has been celebrated as one of the most advanced dementia care frameworks in the nation.

Building Systems That Last

Dalton's impact goes beyond programs to systemic reinvention:

• Achieved Certified Parkinson's Disease Care (CPDC) Accreditation – setting the gold standard in homecare
• Age-Friendly Health System recognition through the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI), aligning care with the 4Ms framework.
• The launch of an in-house PCA School to train and credential the next generation of specialized caregivers.
• Community Partners in Parkinsons Care (CPPC) Recognition from the Parkinsons Foundation
• Expansion across eight New York counties while celebrating 20 years as a family-owned, mission-driven agency.

"I couldn't be prouder of my brother Eric and the entire Angels on Call team. This award validates two decades of family-led innovation, perseverance, and grit. We've proven that a homecare agency — not a hospital, not a franchise, not a corporation — can lead nationally and redefine specialized healthcare. This is only the beginning," said Rob Dalton, CEO & CFO of Angels on Call Homecare.
