How carers are chosen and trained
Before anyone visits alone (sample).
Interview and references
A conversation at the office and two references, one from a previous job.
Background check
A criminal background check and a check of the state’s care worker registry.
Induction
Three days of training: moving and handling, medicines reminders, dementia awareness, food hygiene, first aid.
Shadow shifts
At least three shifts alongside an experienced carer, with the client’s agreement.
Every year
Refresher training and a spot check on a visit by a senior carer.
Every care week starts empty
A care coordinator visits you at home, free of charge, to talk through the day and plan the visits with you. There is nothing to sign at the assessment.
Your week, before the assessment
At the home assessment we fill it in with you: which days, which times, how long.
