Caring for Seniors in Columbus since 2004

Is it time to Hire a Caregiver?

If you read our last blog you are aware of how difficult it can be to hire your own caregiver.

Families we take care of who have attempted to acquire their own senior home health care providers in Columbus, Ohio often tell us a version of the following:

“It’s hard to find good people”

“We had ONE good person and several BAD APPLES”

“We weren’t prepared for all the call offs”

“Our private caregiver wanted to care for Mom around her schedule, not Mom’s”

We have been recruiting qualified caregivers since 2004.  This fall, as we celebrate our 15th year of providing 24-Hour Senior Home Care in Columbus, Ohio we realized we had hit an important milestone.

We realized we had interviewed over 2,000 candidates since we opened our doors to build our team.  As we endeavor to serve your senior loved one, and to make an impact for your family, this number and the data we collected has given us a major insight into WHO caregivers are and HOW to find the best ones.

Going through our process is not a feat that we would wish upon anyone.  That’s a lot of coffee, team meetings and follow ups.  It’s a lot of background checks.  It’s a lot of conversations on the phone with previous employers.  It’s a lot of time.  But our commitment to learning more about caregivers and staying abreast of the types of skills available to caregivers has given us a tremendous leg up in our selection process.   We also always hire way in advance of our staffing and client’s needs.
