Our Staff
Our dedicated staff consists of:
Home Care Aides: These staff provide the daily care in your home. After your initial visit with a case manager, a home care aide will be selected to best meet your particular needs. All our home care aides are certified and fully employed by Home Care Partners. We screen, interview, check references and do police and background checks on all applicants before employing them. We take care of all the taxes and appropriate insurance. Many of our employees have been through our own Home Care Aide Training School.
Case Managers: Our case managers are all licensed social workers or registered nurses. The case manager will come to your home to thoroughly discuss your needs and help you arrange the best service possible. At times, the case manager may even suggest other community resources that may supplement our home care service. Your case manager will visit you periodically but is also available by phone. The case manager also serves as supervisor for a group of home care aides. If ever there is a question or concern about your service, the case manager is the person to call!
Schedulers: The schedulers arrange the schedule for the home care aides. Our schedulers will try to assist you if you have any questions or changes that need to be made in your aide’s schedule.
Field Counselors: Our field counselors are experienced home care aides who have been promoted to a position in which they are able to provide peer support and teaching to other aides. The field counselors periodically visit the aides while they are working in clients’ homes in order to answer questions, provide information and demonstrate techniques.
Accounting and Computer Staff: These employees handle our agency budget, billing statements, and other matters related to our financial and computer systems.
Human Resources Staff: All employment and personnel matters are handled by our Human Resources department.
Manager of Education and Training: Coordinates our Home Care Aide Training School and the on-going continuing education for our staff.
Administrative: Our receptionist and clerical staff help to make sure that calls are directed properly and other clerical matters are handled promptly.
Operations & Service Managers, Deputy Director and Executive Director: These staff members are responsible for the supervision of other staff and the daily operation and administration of the agency.
