Are your employees screened?
We do a complete FBI background check on all prospective employees so that we see if they have a criminal record in any of the 50 states, not just Idaho. We also check at least two work-related references provided on their applications to help us determine what kind of work ethic the applicant displayed in their past jobs. Lastly, we run a drivers license check on the individual which tells us if the prospective employee has any kind of driving record that would prevent them from transporting our clients to doctor’s appointments, shopping or errands.

May I interview the caregiver/s before starting services?
We encourage our clients to help in the selection of their home health caregiver through interviews or introductory meetings.  Bringing a stranger into an individual’s home for the first time is difficult in the best of circumstances and this method of introduction has proven to be effective and welcomed by our clients and/or their involved family members.

Is there someone I can call after hours?
We will respond after hours and on weekends within 30 minutes of that call when a message is left requesting information or assistance.  We’re committed to serving the needs of our clients and employees at a time that is most convenient to them. If you have any questions about our Idaho home care or Idaho health care services please contact our corporate office.
