At Visiting Angels of Newburyport, Massachusetts,
we know that it isn't easy to make the decision to invite a stranger
into your home to provide non-medical homecare. That's why our
highly personalized screening system is the best in homecare
and designed to maximize your peace of mind. You'll have the
opportunity to interview any caregiver who we refer to you. You'll
only accept a caregiver that you feel totally comfortable with.
When you review our caregiver profiles, you're going to be pleasantly
surprised to see that at Visiting Angels of Newburyport, MA character
matters!
The employee screening process that we use
is the best in the business. We screen the caregiver on a statewide
basis using the Criminal History Systems Board “CORI” check.
We also conduct a DMV license and insurance check and verify
employment and personal references. However, we place most emphasis
on the intangible traits in a caregiver which will mean so much
in your day to day experience in working with them. These traits
include: a caring loving personality, a strong desire to help
people and a family experience of caring for a loved one.
Common traits of our caregivers include prior
experience in home care giving, experience with volunteer organizations
and affiliations with religious organizations. Most important,
all of our caregivers provide references to us from sources we
can trust (other agencies, nursing homes, religious organizations,
charities, hospices, assisted living communities etc.). It is
most important to us to put your needs first! We will only employ
caregivers to you who have the necessary experience to fulfill
your individual needs.
What this means for you...
Is that we're here to support you not change
your life - YOU ARE IN CHARGE!
You are in charge of everything. Because we
are a non-medical, custodial care agency and not a nursing agency,
Visiting Angels will not dictate to you what your schedule is
to be (i.e. what time to get up, when to bathe, meal schedules
etc.). You are the boss. It is our job to adjust to your schedule
and to see to it that you remain comfortable in your own home.
VERY REASONABLE RATES
Our non-medical homecare system allows you to bring a top quality
caregiver into your home with utmost affordability. Since we
are a small agency, Visiting Angels of Newburyport has minimal
overhead compared to most agencies. When other agencies quote
high hourly rates, they are simply passing along their high overhead
to you. Visiting Angels clients pay comparatively low fees. However,
our caregivers receive top hourly fees. Other agencies who charge
a higher fee for themselves to cover their high overhead experience
a much greater turnover in caregivers. For this reason, we can
attract and keep the best quality caregivers available.
