About Our Caregivers
Our caregivers see their work as more than a job; they make a difference in the lives of those in their care. As a company, our job is to provide caregivers with the direction and tools they need to fulfill their personal mission of service, as well as improve the lives of those we serve.
Growing Our Team
To ensure that the people we employ meet our high standards, we have a rigorous selection process. Owners Paul Blom and Bob White know that they would not hire a caregiver that they would not be willing to send to their own mothers. Before caregivers can become employed with Right at Home and begin caring for clients, every one of them must go through:
- In depth reference checks
- Background clearance
- Personal interviews
- Competency testing
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 program provides ongoing, specialized training that ensures that our caregivers understand the high standards of care expected by Right at Home. We implement our own certified training program, which is coordinated quarterly by our licensed social workers.
It is an honor every day to serve others in their homes and provide them with the type of care that they deserve. Receiving the RightCare Award was another honor. It wouldn't have been possible if not for my clients. I always think of them first. I do my job because I love to do it and not because I expect to receive any gifts or an award. To me the award is just as special as receiving a smiley face from a client, showing their appreciation.
