All of our caregivers are employees of our company. We pay all of the taxes and workers compensation as required by law. We do not use independent contractors.

We follow specific criteria and standards for selecting our caregivers. We require that they complete extensive applications in our office, and we test their knowledge and ability to provide caregiver services. After that they are interviewed by at least two members of our field supervision and staffing team. After they pass the interview and the skills tests, we check their references, have them take and pass a TB test and run a thorough criminal background check on them. Finally, they participate in a thorough orientation and shadow with some of our other caregivers before finally working with clients on their own for the first time.

Yes, all of our caregivers are bonded and insured.

Yes, whenever possible we schedule the same caregiver for all visits with each client. For situations where we provide more hours of service than one caregiver could provide, we schedule the same team of caregivers with each client.

Members of our staff are carefully screened and selected to provide you with top quality service. We offer continuing education classes to our caregivers every month so that they learn the latest procedures. Our qualified caregivers provide service ranging from just a few hours a week, to 24 hours a day.

Once your custom care plan is established, we select caregivers to meet your needs and help you continue to live independently. We have found that the best outcomes result from consistent client-caregiver relationships and our goal is to build long-term, professional relationships between you and your caregivers. Whenever you are scheduled to have a caregiver that you have not met before, a member of our management and supervision team will lead them to your home, introduce that caregiver to you, and answer any questions that you or the caregiver may have.

Each client’s needs are unique and so we create a custom care plan for every client. Your custom care plan is designed to provide the help that you need while maximizing your resources
