Home Care Providers of Texas: Which One is Right for Your Loved One?

One of the greatest concerns about home care is the quality of the caregivers. As the caregiver will be in your loved one’s home, you want to make sure they can be trusted with your family member. You can learn about a company’s caregivers by how they vet them and the licensing and experience requirements of caregivers.

Cambridge vets their caregivers with strict background checks. Many are CNAs (certified nursing assistants), having passed the Texas State Competency Test. Our caregivers have extensive training in dementia, Alzheimer’s, and pre-and post-op care. They additionally take up to 100 hours of practical, hands-on training. With Cambridge, you can be assured your loved one is in the care of an experienced and compassionate caregiver.

Additionally, we use the skills, experience, and demeanor of each caregiver to match them with the right caregiver client. Your loved one will consistently spend many hours a week with their caregiver. Cambridge Caregivers will ensure your family member is matched to a compatible caregiver.

It’s important to consider how the home care company treats its caregivers. Many care providers use contractors for their caregivers. These caregivers are paid hourly either by the client or company. They receive little or no benefits, are not trained, nor have as much dedication to your loved one or the company. These circumstances will have negative effects on their work performance. Unlike other agencies, Cambridge’s caregivers are W-2 employees, not contractors. By being full-time employees, our caregivers receive full benefits and are passionate and dedicated to their work.
