Home Care covers a wide range of services to meet the personal needs of an individual, known in the industry as ADL’s or Activities of Daily Living. ADL’s include bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, meal preparation, light housekeeping and anything else we do on a daily basis to care for ourselves and stay healthy.
Home Health Care provides medical services, such as skilled nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and medical social work, in the home. Home Health Care services may be covered by private healthcare insurances, Medicare, or private pay. Home Health Care services must be ordered by a patients’ physician. In Home Personal Services is not a Home Health Care Agency, but if your loved one is in need of medical services in the home, we would be happy to provide you with resources.

QUESTIONS ABOUT OUR CAREGIVERS?

Yes. To help ensure the safety and well being of our clients, we perform a criminal history background clearance. We then ensure each caregiver is covered with general liability and workers comp (where applicable).
Our goal is to establish a long-term caregiving relationship with your loved one. In most cases, you or your loved one will have the same caregiver. There are exceptions depending on scheduling conflicts or if you or your loved one has 24/7 caregiver support, which in that case there will be multiple caregivers covering a shift.
Each of our Caregivers complete an extensive interview process consisting of successfully meeting our standards for skill sets, communications, and professionalism. In Home Personal Services also conducts personal and professional reference checks.
In Home Personal Services Caregivers successfully pass criminal background checks, drug screenings, and TB tests (where applicable). In Home Personal Services is licensed, bonded and insured.

In Home Personal Services Caregivers’ training exceeds that of the industry standard, ensuring that all caregivers are qualified to tend to the needs of those they serve. Training includes:

  • Education on state rules and regulations
  • Lecture and teach back methodology of providing each individual care task
  • Healthcare communication
  • All caregivers receive annual competency evaluations.
All cases begin with a complimentary, no-obligation assessment. This assessment, conducted by a member of our leadership team, allows the client, their family, and IHPS to get to know each other and the needs of each individual.

Following the assessment, we will discuss the best possible caregiver fit. If for any reason the family feels the caregiver selected is not the right fit, we have a large pool of professionals and will do our best to match you with a preferred caregiver.
Each case has a designated member of our leadership team to handle the case and ensure the quality of care. If the family has questions, comments, or concerns, they can direct them to this team member who knows their specific care needs. In Home Personal Services provides quality control visits at least monthly to ensure that care is exceeding expectations. Our caregivers are on call 24/7.
Time off for live-in caregivers is especially beneficial in reducing caregiver stress and burnout. When our caregivers are in need of time off, they inform our office of their plans. We then schedule a relieving caregiver with a similar personality and skill set as the primary caregiver. The primary caregiver communicates with the reliever to ensure a continuum of care.
