Our Caregivers
At Visiting Angels we know it isn't easy to make the decision to invite a caregiver
into your home to provide homecare. That's why our personalized screening system
is designed to maximize your peace of mind. You'll have the opportunity to interview
any caregiver that we refer to you. We let you choose the caregiver you trust.
 We
Recruit Experience!
You deserve
to have a caregiver who is experienced in providing the services that
are needed in your home. We don't believe in "on the job training!" Many
of our caregivers have worked with us for years. Our caregivers
have a strong employment history in caring for seniors and have references
from reliable sources (previous clients, agencies, healthcare institutions,
religious and volunteer organizations etc.). And Visiting Angels
requires multiple interviews with each caregiver before they can
be hired or referred to a client. Character
Counts
VISITING
ANGELS runs a comprehensive background screening on each new caregiver.
However, we also emphasize intangible traits such as a caring personality.
When you try our service, you'll be pleasantly surprised to see
that at Visiting Angels, character matters!
You Are In Charge
You are in charge of everything. Because we are a non-medical agency
and not a nursing agency, Visiting Angels will
not dictate to you what your schedule is to be (i.e. what time to
wake up, when to bathe, meal schedules etc.). You are the boss. It
is our job to adjust to your schedule and to keep you comfortable
in your home.
You Can Afford The Best!
Our
philosophy of homecare is to never compromise on providing high quality
services to your family. Our system allows you to afford a
top quality caregiver . At Visiting Angels®, we keep
our overhead low to avoid passing high costs to you. In addition,
we believe that our caregivers should be well paid and treated with
respect. For this reason, we can attract and maintain the best quality
caregivers available.
We're Proactive to Meet Your Needs
You
won't get "lost in the shuffle" with
us. Some agencies simply react to
calls from clients rather than anticipating your needs in advance.
We begin by reviewing your needs through discussions with family
members and when necessary, with healthcare providers. Our service
coordinator carefully selects the caregiver with the necessary experience
and personality that is best suited to the needs of each client.
Next, we arrange for the caregiver to visit your home so that you
can participate in the selection process. After services begin, we
implement our system of ongoing personalized contacts with your family
to insure that the care recipient is receiving the best possible
care. |
