Our Staff:
The staff at Competent Home Care Services has been fully screened, and all references were checked prior to their ever setting foot in your home.

Our staff consists primarily of three types of caregivers:

Home Health Aides:
Home Health Aides are qualified and trained mainly to provide care for the elderly or disabled in the comfort of the patient's own home. Their duties consist mainly of light housekeeping, meal preparation, personal grooming, and assistance in moving about. They know that if a problem should arise, their first call is to 911, and their second call is to the Competent Home Care Services office.

Nurse's Aides:
A Nurse's Aide can provide all the same services of a Home Health Aide, plus they have the benefit of some specific medical training. They can care for a patient in a private home, nursing home, or hospital. Nurse's Aides can remind a patient to take medication and understand how to read Doctor's prescriptions for treatment. In the event of an emergency, they will also call both 911 and the Competent Home Care Services office.

Live-In Care:
A live-in could be either an H.H.A. or Nurse's Aide that stays in the patient's home 24 hours a day, 7 days per week. The patient or family will provide suitable accommodations for the live-in, such as a bed and personal area for the caregiver. Typically, caregivers are allotted 8 hours sleep time and at least 2 hours personal time during the day.

Live-ins will provide meal preparation, assistance with personal care and dressing, light housekeeping, changing linens, doing laundry, accompany patient to and from appointments and family functions, assistance with scheduling appointments, and much more.

24-Hour Care:
This is exactly what the name implies. It usually consists of three 8-hour shifts staffed by a different caregiver, and is recommended only when constant monitoring of the patient is required. Your physician will let you know if this level of care is needed.
