Seniors Helping Seniors® Bethesda employs professional caregivers who enjoy building relationships with clients through genuine engagement and meaningful connections. We do this by hiring mature and sophisticated people with strong interpersonal skills, and then provide them with the training and coaching to be great caregivers.
Every caregiver we hire meets the following criteria:
Mature
We hire caregivers with life experience who can relate to clients.
Sophisticated
Our caregivers are mostly retired professionals, and include former diplomats, lawyers, pilots, nurses, pharmacists, lobbyists, professors, and scientists.
They are highly competent and can handle semi complex life administration tasks beyond the scope of ordinary home care, such as facilitating home repairs, obtaining parking permits, and navigating airports.1
Professional
We provide professional caregivers who can serve as trusted resources for a client’s family and care team. All of our caregivers are:
- Vetted – all caregivers must pass a thorough criminal background check and driving record check.
- Trained – all caregivers must complete a rigorous training course that covers topics such as client confidentiality, infection prevention, and symptom identification.
- Insured & Bonded – all caregivers are insured and bonded through Seniors Helping Seniors® Bethesda.
