Let’s face it…there has been some scary stories surfacing the San Diego news regarding Home Care agencies and the unsavory acts those caregivers are soliciting in. With the holidays here, the last thing anyone who may be in the market for Respite Care needs (in addition to the stress of shopping, getting ready for guests, cooking….) is to fear that their loved ones may be placed in a dangerous situation. Well, fear not!! Western Health Home Care is here to help and put your worries to rest!
We are an agency that is not afraid to address these concerns. We are here to not only give your loved ones the care they need at home, but we are here to be a resource! Alex Asaro made an appearance on the San Diego Living Show this week to discuss what you should be looking for and ASKING when researching Home Health and Home Care Agencies:
1. Is the agency licensed, bonded and insured (meaning, do they hold all the liability?)
2. What is the interview process like for their caregivers and clinical staff?
3. Do they mandate their candidates undergo background and criminal checks as well as drug screens?
4. Is there a complimentary In-Home Assessment that you can have to discuss your loved ones needs?
5. Will you have the ability to meet and interview potential caregivers and CHOOSE the one that best fits your family’s needs?
We are so happy Alex took the opportunity to speak out about what to look for in a home care agency on the San Diego Living Show. You can view the segment in its entirety by clicking: Caring For Your Loved Ones
We hope you have a wonderful holiday season!
