A – Generally services can be provided within 48-hours and often the same day! It’s not always possible to predict when care will be needed, and since we always try to match the caregiver to the client, the more notice we have the better a job we can do for you.
A – Because all services and schedules are tailored to the needs of the client, the cost of service for each client is determined at the initial assessment. There is no charge for this visit, however, our rates are hourly or per-shift for overnight and 24-hour live-in shifts.
A – No. Once your rate is determined, it is always the same whether you are receiving service on days, nights, weekdays or weekends. We feel that this is the simplest for our clients and their families. There are no hidden charges or surprises! The only exception is if you receive service on a major holiday (i.e. Christmas, Easter, etc.), in which case a higher rate is charged.
A – Absolutely! They are all experienced and receive additional training at the time of hire. Our caregivers truly have a passion for providing great care! They are OUR employees and are thoroughly interviewed and screened, including reference checks and state and national background checks. All caregivers are bonded and insured. Additionally, many of our caregivers have nurse’s aide certifications. One of the guiding philosophies of our founder Susan Dost is that we will never hire a Caregiver that we would not confidently allow to care for our own family member.
A – All of our caregivers receive continuous mandatory training on topics ranging from basic skills to infection prevention and control, bathing and personal grooming, even the body mechanics of lifting. We also have certificate training available for all caregivers doing hospice service and specialized training in dementia care.

Information regarding your health issues, the services you require and your emergency contacts will be obtained at this time.

If you or your loved one are not currently living at home we are happy to do the assessment wherever you are!
