In 1977, a not-for-profit Village Nursing Home was incorporated after the hard work of the community "saved" a much-needed resource and transformed it into a skilled nursing residence where the staff and the board were aware of the community needs and dedicated to meeting them.

In 1985, the nursing home's board of directors committed itself to take action and began to plan its response to the AIDS epidemic. Confronting the disease in those days meant mostly finding ways to provide comfort and support for those with the infection for which treatments were entirely experimental and most often ineffective. In 1988, VillageCare opened the first AIDS Day Treatment program in New York City, the board and staff created a model not for just the city and state, but for other municipalities across the country seeking to find ways to engage those living with HIV/AIDS with medical and alternative treatments along with social and support services. In 1991, VillageCare opened the city's first AIDS-specific Certified Home Health Agency and in 1995 a Community Case Management program and skilled nursing facility opened.

In the 1990s it was becoming clear the nation was beginning to see a cohort of older adults who were living longer, and staying healthier longer, for whom the available array of traditional long-term care services centered in the nursing home was neither appropriate nor desirable. VillageCare responded by opening VillageCare Plus, Inc., a licensed home care agency; Village and Chelsea adult day health centers; The Village at 46 & Ten, apartment living for seniors; Village and Chelsea senior information centers. With this dramatic expansion, by mid-2002, services for older adults that just a few years before had been concentrated in a single residential care facility, Village Nursing Home, were being transformed into an array of programs that provide care for those living at home and which promote community care options.

VillageCare offers a full array of services dominated by community options and choices with high-quality, inpatient rehabilitation care designed to address the impact of persistent and intermittent frailty in the most optimal way possible. VillageCare's mission is to promote healing, better health, and well-being to the fullest extent possible.
