Our Caregivers
Of all the questions we are asked, this is the one our families typically
have the most concern. With this in mind, I want to let you know how we
find, hire, and train our caregivers. The reason we won the awards above
and continue to grow this business is because of our wonderful caregivers.
First of all, we have a unique way of finding our caregivers. While most
of our competition find caregivers on CraigsList, we locate our caregivers
through churches, nursing schools, and friends of our existing caregivers.
We look for a caregiver who has a “heart to serve”, not just
someone that needs a paycheck.
Once we locate a potential caregiver, they must then pass a 20 step screening
process. This includes taking a Personality Assessment, a Nationwide Fingerprint
background check administered by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation,
Drug Testing, TB Skin test, Reference Checks, and more. They then are
interviewed by 2 of us. Each of us has to say “YES” in order
to proceed with offering them a position.
Once they become part of our family, they then go through HH University,
which consists of a training/orientation program, online classes, as well
as ongoing training.
When you sign on with us, you know that all of our caregivers have gone
through the hiring process, they have been trained, they are our employees,
they are bonded, licensed, and insured. We are never offended by a potential
client asking for a copy of our license or insurance documentation.
