You can trust our strict hiring policies

Dedicated and well-trained employees are the backbone of Home Care Specialist’ services and success. We understand that the most important aspect of in-home care is having a caregiver who is competent and trustworthy. So we put extra effort into screening potential caregivers for those qualities, which is a two-part process.

First, Home Care Specialists only hires caregivers who meet our exacting standards. They have to:

• Verify 1-to-2 years of in-home care experience;
• Provide positive references;
• Communicate with clients in a clear and helpful manner;
• Treat and care for clients and their property with dignity and respect;
• Speak, write and read the English language;
• Speak and interpret competently if hired as a bilingual employee;
• Pass background and medical checks.

In addition, the name of every potential new caregiver is screened through an extensive background check that may include some or all of the following:

• National Criminal Database search;
• Unlimited County Criminal searches;
• Department of Motor Vehicle report;
• U.S. residency check for past 7 years;
• Social Security trace;
• National Sex Offender Registry search;
• National Want and Warrant search;
• Administrative Office of the Courts search;
• Department of Public Safety search;
• Office of Foreign Assets Control list;
• FBI Wanted Terrorist and Fugitive list;
• U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency wanted list.
