How We Match Caregivers

After an initial assessment of your loved one’s needs and wishes, our client care coordinator meets personally with the client and family to define the profile of the “ideal” caregiver. We then choose two or three staff members who fit that profile and place them on a trial basis. If everyone involved is satisfied with the match, we keep those caregivers, so there is always a relief person. The number of caregivers depends on the number of care hours.

All of our caregivers are employees, not independent contractors. They undergo rigorous screening that includes driving records, the sex offender registry, federal, state and local criminal history, Social Security validation, drug testing and health screening. They also receive training in areas such as dementia care, Parkinson’s care and nutrition and cooking.

Cost and Payment

The cost depends on the type of services. Because every care plan is individualized, pricing is tailored to your loved one’s needs. We accept private pay and long-term care insurance. Contact us for a free initial assessment to discuss a plan and pricing.

Companion Care El Paso FAQs

What is the difference between companion care and home health care?

Companion care is non-medical and focuses on emotional well-being, routine assistance and quality of life, and it is often ongoing. Home health care is medically oriented, prescribed by a physician and delivered by licensed professionals, and it is usually temporary.

We provide a comprehensive assessment and an individualized care plan, and we screen, hire and train our caregivers. When you hire someone directly, you become the employer and are fully responsible for that caregiver.

Are your caregivers employees or independent contractors?

All of our caregivers are our employees, and all employees are bonded under our umbrella.

How do you assign a caregiver to a client?

Our client care coordinator meets with the client and family to define the ideal caregiver profile, then places two or three matching caregivers on a trial basis and keeps the match that works for everyone.
