GETTING IT RIGHT IS IMPORTANT
Over the years, our experienced team has assisted many families. We've also interviewed a lot of caregivers, some fabulous, some not. Truly topnotch staff, with proactive spirits, real compassion and emotional maturity, can quickly move a business to the forefront. But mistakes in hiring can impact both seniors and an organization's reputation. We take it all very seriously. Always.
NOT THE SAME CAREGIVERS
Our caregivers are experienced CNAs and people with other careers, like an artist and a newly retired RN. Getting hired here isn't easy. We spend weeks learning about each strong candidate before deciding whether to go forward. Like you, we're seeking truly proactive caregivers, with obvious warmth and emotional maturity. So we look at many indicators of overall nature and responsibility, including employment history, education/trainings, interests, background checks, drug testing, and a lot more. We understand that as a homecare company, we're only as good as our team. Really, we think all companies should feel this way.
RATES MATTER TOO
As a privately owned company, we can do some things a little differently—our way. Opting for simpler marketing materials, and not having to pay monthly royalty fees to a larger corporation, we're able to offer our all-inclusive* rates. We don't charge more if personal care assistance is needed, or if longer hours are not needed. We never require a deposit, or that you sign a long-term contract. We hold workers' comp and liability insurances to protect our clients and caregivers. And, of course, fair wages are always important to attract and keep exceptional staff, so both clients & caregivers are happy. To us, it's all important!

OUR ALL-INCLUSIVE* SERVICES
GENERAL ASSISTANCE
Our general assistance includes light housekeeping, like mopping the kitchen floor or doing a little vacuuming. We can wipe down the refrigerator and discard expired food. We can do some laundry and change your linens. We can grocery shop and prepare meals, for you or with you. We can even make extra food and leave ready-to-go containers for another day. And, of course, we can help with personal care and provide mobility assistance. We've got you covered! But we offer more than that.

I-SESSIONS™ Our Inspiration Sessions™ are in-home creative or social activities that we make available to our interested clients. Led by one of our talented instructors, they're offered periodically, during regular client-caregiver shifts, at no additional charge. And we bring all supplies! Our current I-Sessions include painting and jewelry-making trainings, and yummy food sessions like cappuccino and fancy waffles. And, since we like to change things up every now and then, we're always on the lookout for new I-Sessions to bring to seniors who just might enjoy participating. |
E-OPTIONS Our Everyday Options are simple social or creative daily experiences that can be shared by you and your caregiver after other tasks have been completed. What are you in the mood to do? The possibilities are endless. Our Up and Out 'Em E-Option is great for our clients who like to be out and about. Do you have an appointment? Feel like going for coffee or shopping? Or, if you've found a new interest through one of our I-Sessions, you may want to work on that together. We love when a one-time I-Session turns into an E-Option, and a new interest for one of our clients. |
