River Oaks Home Care has been recognized once again as one of the Philadelphia region’s fastest-growing privately held companies, earning the #7 spot in the prestigious Philadelphia100® Awards. This marks the second consecutive year that River Oaks Home Care has secured a place in the Top Ten—a testament to its continued growth, strong leadership, and unwavering commitment to serving seniors with dignity and compassion.
The Philadelphia100® Award, launched to spotlight excellence among the region’s most dynamic companies, has become one of the most sought-after designations for privately held organizations. Unlike many award programs, the Philadelphia100® is entirely merit-based. Companies must demonstrate positive three-year average revenue growth, exceed $250,000 in revenue in the earliest reported year, and meet rigorous financial verification standards through tax filings. Presented annually by the Philadelphia100® Forum, the award highlights organizations that fuel economic vitality across the region.
“Earning a Top Ten ranking for the second year in a row is an incredible honor,” said Banji Akingbade, Co-Founder, River Oaks Home Care. “This recognition reflects our mission-driven approach and the dedication of our entire team. Everything we do is about helping seniors remain independent, comfortable, and connected to the richness of life. Growth is simply the outcome of serving with heart.”
Founded in 2016, River Oaks Home Care has built a reputation as a trusted and compassionate partner to seniors and individuals with disabilities throughout the community. In addition to being a two-time Philadelphia100® Award recipient, the company is certified as a Great Place to Work and has earned Best of Home Care recognitions, including Provider of Choice, Employer of Choice, and Leader in Experience.
“This award is ultimately about people, our caregivers, our clients, and the families who place their trust in us,” added Bola Akingbade, Co-Founder of River Oaks Home Care. “We share this achievement with every person who is part of the River Oaks family.”
