Our Screening and Training
We carefully evaluate each of our caregivers with a thorough interview and background check. We train them as Certified Companion Aides, Certified Nursing Assistants, or both to ensure they are confident and competent when working with our clients. We also provide our caregivers with certified hospice training, dementia care training, and total care training.
Our in-person monthly in-service training covers important educational topics including safe lifting techniques, transfers, diabetic care, dealing with challenging situations, and much more. As you can see, quality training is important to us!
Along with our monthly in-service topics, our professional caregivers use Teepa Snow’s Positive Approach to Care training series to better understand memory loss and how using this approach improves the quality of life for both the caregiver and the person receiving care. The positive approach focuses on what individuals with dementia CAN do at each stage of the disease instead of focusing on the skills they have lost.
