Caregiver Qualifications
Every Preferred Care at Home caregiver possesses two key characteristics: a compassionate heart and home-care experience. The first and most significant characteristic is the compassionate heart. No training can create this uncompromising, required quality.
Caregiver-Screening Process
To ensure you receive the highest-quality home care possible, we put all caregiver applicants through a rigorous, seven-step screening process after we receive their comprehensive caregiver application. You can learn more about this process in the video and article below.
Become a Caregiver
Caring for people in need can be rewarding work. At Preferred Care at Home, we're always looking for people with the appropriate experience. But most importantly, we seek home-care aides who are compassionate and reliable.
Our Caregivers
When you choose a home-care service, one consideration stands above all else: the quality of the caregivers who will be at your or your loved one's side. You want people you can trust without question.
