How To Get Started
Our Home Care Services are as Easy as 1-2-3
1. Consultation - We begin by meeting with you and your family in your own home and jointly determine the scope of care. During this meeting we will complete a safety evaluation and provide recommendations to improve the safety of your home.
2. Assessment - A thorough assessment of the patient's medical conditions is performed by a skilled nurse to determine what types of services are needed to remain comfortably at home.
3. Service - Upon completion of the consultation and evaluation a customized plan will be created. We will ensure that you are paired with the best caregiver for you. A Patient Care Manager will follow up regularly to ensure that the services provided by your caregiver are meeting your expectations.
We assist home care clients with personal care, nurse monitoring, and personal care with medication administration.
We provide transportation to doctors appointments, Physical Therapy sessions, and errands.
Clinical Staffing Services Per Diem, Respite, Long Term
Once you contact us, Your Patient Care Manager will work with you to customize a solution to fit your individual staffing needs. As soon as you are ready to get started filling assignments, a Staffing Coordinator will be assigned to your facility to manage all your staffing requests.
While we do not want red tape to slow the process of providing staff to your facility, we require an agreement for all services performed. If your need is an emergency, we can fill the position but will need a signed agreement within four (4) hours of the next business day.
We can create a contract to work for a short or long-term basis. Although we prefer to have a minimum of 4 weeks for long term needs, our healthcare services can be cancelled at any time. Our hourly rates vary on the type of facility, skill required and shifts needed. Please see your Account Services Manager for contract details.
Permanent Placement
We can supplement your search for a permanent staff member. We will source, recruit and conduct thorough background investigations before presenting our candidates to you. This is not a retained search. You only pay a fee if you hire our candidate.
Answers to Your Common Questions
Temporary health professionals can be used any time when a healthcare facility has a short-term need or a vacancy that is hard to fill. Temporary staffing can help to maintain staffing ratio and patient care standards during new unit openings, maternity leaves and other leaves of absence. Additionally, temporary staffing can help provide needed support and care for high risk patients.
Nurses and healthcare professionals are interested in temporary assignments for many reasons, including:
- Seeking flexible work opportunities.
