- Shawnee County Public Access background checks against civil, criminal, domestic, probate and traffic records.
- Personal and work reference checks.

If your regular caregiver is sick or otherwise unable to make it to your home, we will make every effort to send another caregiver to your home to ensure that you receive the assistance you need.
Q: Are your caregivers insured and bonded?
Yes. All of our caregivers are insured and bonded for your protection and peace of mind. Our insurance policy protects our clients against breakage or theft of property, as well as general liabilities such as bodily injury or property damage. Because our caregivers are fully employed by us, they are also covered under worker’s compensation and unemployment insurance.
