Our Caregivers...

Homemakers perform general housekeeping duties, such as cooking, laundry, cleaning and shopping.  Homemakers complete a 40 hours training program.

Personal Care Homemakers do the same services as Homemakers but also help with walking, bathing, dressing, and personal hygiene. They complete 60 hours of classroom and hands-on training.

Certified Home Health Aides complete 75 hours of training. They work with people who need more extensive help with most of their daily activities, including personal care. A registered nurse or therapist closely supervises home health aide activities.

Companions provide the care that neighbor or friend would provide if they were available.  Companions will make a light meal, do an errand, assist with letter writing, and read to a disabled person.

All Intercity direct care staff work under the close supervision of a registered nurse, or trained field supervisor. They must complete annual "inservice" training to remain qualified.  We prove our commitment to our clients' safety and security by doing a pre-employment criminal background check and getting satisfactory work and personal references on all of our staff.
