Home care is exactly that – care in the comfort of your own home. Community Home Care provides the additional support individuals might need to stay in the home, or for additional assistance wanted in a nursing home or independent and assisted living facilities.
There are many reasons and times in a person’s life when in-home care could be considered. Below is just a few of the many people we are here to give comfort and care to:
– Seniors
– People with disabilities
– People with dementia or Alzheimer’s
– People returning home from a hospital stay
– People who have suffered strokes or heart attacks
– New mothers
– Parents with childcare needs

While help from neighbors, friends or even family members can be useful, they may not always be able to be there when you need them. Community Home Care is a professional company that offers many assurances for its clients and being there for you when you need help is our main goal. We hire caregivers and personal aides who are from YOUR community who want to help people in need. Having a professional caregiver also provides the following peace of mind:
– We carry Liability and Workers’ Comp Insurance
– Every caregiver pays payroll taxes
– Each caregiver goes through a rigorous interview & screening process
– Caregiver competency testing
– Child/Adult Abuse and Neglect Central Registry check
– Sex Offender Registry check
– Criminal background, reference and driving record check
– Drug testing prior to employment as well as random testing
– “Best Fit Matching” which finds compatibility between a caregiver and client
– Orientation and training
