| When selecting CareMinders® Home Care, you’re choosing a
locally owned and independently operated company that considers it both a
privilege and a responsibility to care for you or someone you love and give
great consideration of their wants and desires. We go to great lengths to
satisfy those needs…after all, your comfort is our responsibility.
Choosing a caregiver to assist you, a parent, or other loved one or friend is no small decision. Where do you turn, how do you decide which company to use, and what kind of caregiver do you need? At CareMinders® Home Care we begin building a relationship with you from the start, and continually strengthen it, step-by-step, day-by-day, through periodic visits and detailed task reporting of activities our caregivers performed during the day. The key to providing personalized care to you begins with our preparing an in-home assessment which helps us determine your needs. We then develop an individualized care plan with you that will meet these needs and specific goals.Part of the assessment process includes determining the characteristics of the ideal caregiver that satisfies your care plan. Before we suggest a specific caregiver to assist you, we make all efforts to match their qualifications, interests, and unique characteristics with your preferences. Our Caregivers It takes someone special to become a CareMinders® Home Care caregiver. Our caregivers must pass a detailed screening process, including an extensive interview and criminal and other background checks to determine if they truly represent the CareMinders® Home Care ideals of integrity, loyalty, and a caring personality. All caregivers are insured and bonded for your peace of mind. All of our Caregivers participate in a comprehensive CareMinders® Home Care orientation and training program before they can provide services to any of our clients. Additionally, each year, each Caregiver participates in a minimum of 8 hours of classroom based continuing education and training. CareMinders® Home Care, Inc.

The Home Care IndustryDuring the past 20 years there has been a transformation on how we care for our elderly and infirm family members. In the 1970’s and early 80’s it was often commonplace for people to build in-law suites or maintain extra bedrooms in their homes for elderly or infirm parents to move in with their children. In the 1980’s we saw a proliferation of nursing homes where many of these family members were often placed because of growing medical needs and the inconvenience and demands of having them live with their children who oftentimes were struggling to take care of their own immediate family and needs. The 1980’s and 90’s saw the growth of assisted living centers and retirement communities. More recently, however, there has been a big movement and desire of our elder family members to stay in their own homes, close to family and friends, where their familiar surroundings add an element of comfort for them as they age during their senior years. The desire to remain totally independent in their home, while very strong, oftentimes has to be weighed against our elder family members’ ability to take care of themselves as their physical capabilities diminish as they grow older. Many times younger family members have relocated to other cities, sometimes leaving elder family members in a distant location making it difficult if not impossible for younger family members to lend assistance. Additionally, the grind of every day life oftentimes makes it impossible for us to balance the responsibilities of taking care of our own children or work outside of the home, with that of the needs of our elder family members. Consequently, there is becoming an ever-increasing demand to hire outside paid help to assist in taking care of those elder family members who remain in their own homes or, when permitted, other medical settings. This has partially resulted in the explosive growth of the home care industry. We are currently in the early stages of a projected 25-year boom in the home care industry. Why? Because of two major factors:
