Frequently Asked Questions
Q: "How do you select your caregiver?"
A: We hold an in-home or facility evaluation to explain our services and assess the client’s specific needs. We then hand select the most qualified staff member for each client. All caregivers are screened to verify Social Security information, clear driving records, and clear criminal records. Caregivers must also provide three references from former employment.
Q: "How do you train your employees?"
A: Every caregiver participates in our initial training and continues with our onsite training visits. This program covers the most practical topics and situations encountered in home care.
Q: "What happens if my caregiver is sick?"
A: If your caregiver is sick another caregiver will be available to fill in. We are on call 24 hours a day, 7 days per week to assist with these types of issues.
Q: "Who pays the caregiver – you or me?"
A: We do. Select Home Care handles all employee expenses, payroll, state and federal taxes, liability insurance, and workers’ compensation insurance. We oversee all administrative responsibilities.
Q: "What are your rates and minimum hours of service?"
A: Please contact us for specific information.
Q: "Why should I use Select Home Care rather than paying someone directly?"
A: Our caregivers are thoroughly screened, trained, bonded and insured, thus limiting your exposure to possible fraud, theft, work-related injuries, unemployment claims, and employee tax evasion. We also offer a compatibility guarantee, and we always strive to maintain the highest level of continuity of service for each client.
Q: "Do you provide care for the elderly in assisted living facilities, hospitals or nursing homes?"
A: Yes, we can provide caregivers to residents in all types of care facilities for those who need additional attention and personal assistance.
Q: "Is Select Home Care a cleaning service?"
A: No. Our focus is always the health, safety and comfort of the clients. However, we do offer light housekeeping: laundry, linen changing, dusting and tidying.
