What will you do if we feel our assigned caregiver isn't a good fit?

We work tirelessly to match each patient with the right caregiver, and we understand that sometimes it does not work out. We realize that not every job is a fit for every person, and sometimes that is not clear until the person is working. If you are not satisfied with a healthcare professional, we will replace them promptly.


How do you screen caregivers?

Here at Home Health Smiles Agency, we give every candidate a comprehensive screening that includes a thorough background check, detailed inquiry into references and credentials, multiple phone interviews, and in-person interviews.


How do you handle no-shows or caregivers who must cancel an assignment?

Our agency uses the newest technology that alerts the scheduling staff if our caregivers do not clock in at the appointed time for any unforeseen reason. A supervisor can immediately care for a client until the caregiver arrives, or we arrange a replacement. Using this method also allows us to bill accurately.
