Bonding, insurance, & licensing
|

Amada’s staff is bonded and insured, giving you peace of mind. Amada verifies,
updates, and maintains all necessary licenses and certifications for all home care
staff.

Usually none. It's your responsibility to investigate any insurance or licensures
held by these individuals and pay claims for any liability that comes from caregiver
actions.

Quality control & supervision of home care staff
|
|
• All cases are carefully monitored and supervised by the Amada nursing staff
and our management team.
• Random quality assurance visits made regularly.
• Family members kept informed on a regular basis and able to access web-based
reports.
|
These individuals are completely independent and lack formal supervision.
|
|
Continuing caregiver training
|
|
Amada provides caregiver training by nurses through our proprietary training program.
|
These individuals may or may not continue to build upon their knowledge and skills.
|
|
Payroll, taxes, and IRS
|
|
Amada assumes responsibility.
|
You are responsible for reporting and remitting state, federal, and FICA taxes to
the proper tax authorities.
|
|
Criminal background checks
|
|
Amada staff is carefully screened at the time of hire with several layers of background
checks. Approximately 70% of applicants do not meet our high standards.
|
It is your responsibility to check the background of the individual. A full background
check can cost as much as $50-$100.
|
|
Workers' compensation and liability
|
|
All Amada staff is covered by workers' compensation insurance for accidents occurring
on the job.
|
Private individuals can sue you if injured on the job.
|
|
Flexibility of home care services
|
|
Your home care service requirements will rarely stay the same.
• You aren't locked into scheduling a certain number of hours or days.
• If the skill level that you require increases or decreases, we can accommodate
your needs.
|
Skills are fixed to the particular individual, and you pay for the skills they can
perform rather than the skills you need. A change in desired skill level often means
a change in staff.
