All Silver Companions caregivers are thoroughly screened and a detailed background check and professional reference check is completed.

Silver Companions works diligently to find compassionate and reliable caregivers who will provide outstanding care. We only hire warmhearted, well trained and experienced caregivers. In most cases, the same companion will be sent each time to ensure continuity of care.  Also, a care coordinator will accompany the caregiver to provide a personal introduction to the client.  This process helps ensure that the client is comfortable and at ease with the caregiver.

Every caregiver undergoes a thorough screening process to ensure that we only present the most qualified caregivers. Silver Companions caregivers are carefully selected and matched to meet your needs. We offer ongoing training to all of our home caregivers on many different aspects of care and how to provide quality care.  By providing free in-house & on line training sessions and paying caregivers for their time spent in training, we ensure our staff has the opportunity to excel in the care they provide. By making this investment in our care team, it has enabled us to minimize turnover and thus keep our home care affordable, while constantly improving quality. We encourage your involvement in the decision-making process. You must be satisfied with a caregiver, since you are the one receiving care.

We go to great lengths in our screening criteria:

  • In-depth personal interview to determine skill set and experience
