  • Shawnee County Public Access background checks against civil, criminal, domestic, probate and traffic records.
  • Personal and work reference checks.
Q. What makes Grace Home Care different from other in-home care companies?
Simply put, our caregivers. We are very particular about the caregivers we hire and take all the necessary steps to ensure that they are the best, not only when it comes to technical care, but also compassion, empathy, and professionalism. We extensively train all our caregivers and provide ongoing training opportunities to keep our caregivers up to date on new care techniques and best practices so that they feel confident in providing top quality care.
