About Accesso

At Accesso Care, we believe that every community deserves to be treated with dignity and respect.

Our vision is simple: we build communities of caring. We empower Philadelphia’s immigrant communities to invest in individual achievement by becoming Certified Nursing Assistants (CNA) as a path for career development and partner with Nursing Home and Senior Living facilities within the community to provide reliable staff trained to understand and respect the diverse cultural backgrounds of its residents.

Join Accesso Care in building a future where every caregiver and every resident feels respected, valued, and understood.

Accesso Care was founded in 2023 by Jimmy Zhang, originally as Building Care, to address the challenges CNAs faced in providing compassionate care. In 2024, Jimmy’s life partner, Esther Castillo, joined the mission, bringing her expertise in workforce development. 

Together, they transformed the organization into Accesso Care, empowering immigrant caregivers like themselves. Today, Accesso Care is driven by a shared belief: that quality care begins with supporting those who provide it, ensuring dignity and compassion for every community.
