Training

We are committed to providing our clients with the most professional caregivers in the area. In order to ensure this, we look for warm, honest, caring people, and then we help them to gain the education necessary to become the best around. Our caregivers have the opportunity to become Certified Companion Aides, CCA’s®, a designation that elevates their knowledge and status in the industry.
Those who complete the Certified Companion Aide (CCA®) program have successfully completed an exclusive training program specially designed for companion caregivers. This program, derived from a popular certified nursing assistant program, is a compilation of the best standards and practices available in companion care, focusing on 19 essential care subjects, including:

      ♥  Professionalism
      ♥  Understanding Aging
      ♥  Safe and Comfortable Transfers
      ♥  Chronic Medical Conditions
      ♥  Infection Control
      ♥  Maintaining Safe and Healthy Home Environments
      ♥  Nutritional Needs
      ♥  Meal Planning and PreparationAnd much more!

No other companion care company offers such a comprehensive training program. Clients can trust that our CCA’s ® will perform their duties with professionalism and dedication while they help our clients maintain their independence and treat them and their loved ones with the dignity and respect that they deserve. Our CCA’s ® represent some of the finest caregivers in the industry. 

Here is what some of our caregivers are saying about our Certified Companion Aide (CCA®) program:
       ♥  “I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for such a great learning tool, the Certified Companion Aid (CCA) Program. I was a CNA working for several nursing homes, but this program is so comprehensive I can’t compare it to the certification program for nursing assistants. The program provides a more detailed description of what senior care is really about. The chapters look at the senior as a whole person. The program also presents detailed information and diagrams every CNA or home healthcare professional should have. The CCA program guarantees each senior has the best care available. Thank you again.”

      ♥  “I did not have a lot of [formal] education as a caregiver and the CCA program helped me to gain a better knowledge of what to expect as a caregiver and how to deal with certain situations. The instructional material was interesting and I think that it has given me more confidence as a caregiver.”

      ♥  “The CCA program has taught me to be a more well-rounded caregiver. Instead of just being proficient at meeting the clients’ physical needs, I now feel more prepared to meet their nutritional, social, emotional and spiritual needs, as well.”

"In the Know"
We also offer an interactive online learning experience, “In The Know” (ITK). ITK offers our caregivers the opportunity to continue to broaden their knowledge and skills on everything from proper handwashing, transfers, helping with daily activities, to creating a trusting relationship with clients. All with the goal of helping people to remain independent and stay in their own homes.
