What is the Bridge of Care difference? Anytime you're looking
at bringing someone into your home, or placing a caregiver in the home of someone you love, you must consider safety,
quality, and affordability.
Most home health care providers hire caregivers based first on the applicant's being
a licensed nurse or having some other relevant medical background. And while this makes them qualified to perform
any medical task required of them, this doesn't qualify them to be a good companion, competent homemaker, or passionate
about caring for seniors. What it does mean is that the home health care providers will have much higher
costs for providing their service which ultimately must be passed down to their clients.
By focusing on the non-medical
needs of our clients, Bridge of Care is able to hire caregivers who love caring for seniors and whose skills
and experience are in managing a household. Our caregivers are mostly parttime employees who work for us out of
a desire for involvement in their communities and a commitment to serving others. This prevents us from placing overworked,
overtired, stressed out "caregivers" in your home who would rather be doing the medical work they were trained for.
We have found that many of our clients who require both skilled nursing and homemaker services get the best overall
care by pairing our caregivers at Bridge of Care with caregivers from other home health or nursing service providers.
This way, our clients not only save a great deal of money, but they also get to match the services they need with the caregivers
best suited to providing them.
Our rates start as low as $15 per hour instead of the $25, $30+++ that our
competitors typically charge.
