Our Caregivers – Selection, Hiring, Orientation, and Training

Our Aide’s quality starts with the selection process. Not everyone meets the qualities we seek in our Caregivers – Caring & Compassion. Following extensive background checks, including references, criminal and DMV checks, only those selected are invited to our Orientation. The screening of Personal Care Aides and Home Health Aides includes accessing the NYS Department of Health Nurse Registry and Health Commerce System.

In Orientation our Aides learn our unique approach to providing senior home care.
