There’s no place like home. AW Health Care recognizes the importance of keeping clients in their homes, rather than sending them to a skilled nursing facility. Our personal home care program is designed to implement non-medical tasks to meet the clients’ physical needs.
Our home care aides provide a multitude of services for our clients, ranging from meal preparation and house cleaning to personal assistance and running errands. We are diligent in our staff and client pairings. We won’t put just anyone in the your home or the home of your loved ones.
All of our team members undergo a vigorous background check that includes random drug screening. We personally select your caregiver by meeting with you and your loved one so that we can gain a better understanding of your needs and pair you with a caregiver who compliments your lifestyle.
