About Our Caregivers
Our caregivers want more than a job. They want to make a difference in the lives of those in their care. As a company, our job is to give caregivers the direction and tools they need to fulfill their personal mission of service, as well as our corporate mission of improving the lives of those we serve.
To ensure that the people we employ meet our high standards, we have a rigorous selection process. Before caregivers can become employed with Right at Home and begin caring for clients, every one of them must go through:
- Reference checks (at hire and annually)
- Background clearance (at hire and annually)
- Motor vehicle checks (at hire and annually)
- Drug Testing
- Personal interviews
- Competency testing
- New hire orientation
Training and Continuing Education
Once a caregiver meets our strict selection criteria, it's just the beginning. First, all Right at Home caregivers are insured and bonded. Then, each caregiver goes through a comprehensive orientation process that ingrains our policies and procedures.
Our CERT (Caregiver Education Retention and Training) program provides ongoing, specialized training that ensures that our caregivers understand the high standards of care expected by Right at Home.
Through Right at Home University – the educational arm of our CERT Program – caregivers are given training on issues that help them develop as better overall caregivers, as well as deal with very specific situations, including:
- Medication Management and Compliance
- Alzheimer's and Dementia
- Osteoarthritis and Mobility Loss
- Hypertension/Stroke Recovery
- Heart Disease
- Cancer Recovery
To all the ladies behind the scenes at Right at Home:
A huge thank you for everything ya'll did for Mimi. I knew it took a special gift to be a great caregiver, but ya'll taught me that special gift also extends to everyone helping to set up and maintain that care. It was no secret that Mimi had a huge sweet tooth. Nothing would have pleased her more than to know she could offer a reason to take a break for some good conversation and cake. Please enjoy and thank you.
