Many of our caregivers has years of experience. Ranging from nurse assistants, home maker and other certified personnel.
We hire caregivers who are home care certified and well-trained, and they go through comprehensive background check and reference investigation. If we have an inexperience applicant, we offer them our in-home training and home care registry processing. We make sure that our caregivers are registered and trained before we send them out for care giving duties.
HOW DOES CARING HEART CHOOSES THEIR CAREGIVERS ?
Of course we do! Most of our caregivers are Bilingual; Japanese, Spanish, Tagalog, etc..
When hiring caregivers, we'd like to know if they speak any other languages than English. It's a plus when they are, it's a big advantage for a caregiver to speak more than one language; in case clients don't speak English or would prefer their first language than English to communicate better.
DO YOU HAVE CAREGIVERS WHO SPEAK OTHER LANGUAGES OTHER THAN ENGLISH ?
Yes! it is possible.
If you will be needing an immediate care from us, we will most likely to send a caregiver within an hour or two. It will of course, still depends what kind of situation it will be. We will do our best to find a caregiver that fit for the duty as much as possible, but we do not guarantee that we can follow any caregiver preferences as it is an immediate care.
iF I WANTED A CAREGIVER TO COME IN FOR AN EMERGENCY SERVICE, IS THAT POSSIBLE?
We truthfully understand that sometimes clients are unsatisfied with the caregiver we provide.
Client and/or family members should advise us if the caregiver is not working out or not fit for the service; we will then provide another caregiver that will go under interview by the client and family. We want our client to feel comfortable and safe. We will accommodate the needs as quickly and smooth as possible.
What happens if we're unhappy with the caregiver ?
Yes!
We are always open for new Caring Heart members to join us and be a part of our Caring Heart family!
