Our Company

At Welcome Care, we proudly provide health care at home, whether it’s in the house you’ve lived in for years, senior housing, or in an independent or assisted living facility. At Welcome Care, we believe wholeheartedly in the power of the individual, the importance of relationships and the value of respect and dignity to everyone at every stage of life. Our goal is to create a positive difference in every patient’s day, to make a personal connection, and to create memorable moments that enrich the lives of each of our patients.

Our Caregivers

Our patients can’t do it alone, and neither can we. At Welcome Care, we know how important and valuable our partnerships with health care professionals are. We want to help make your jobs easier, just as you do for us. Unfortunately, what home health care is—and how it can benefit the patient as well as the patient’s family and loved ones—is widely misunderstood. At a time in life when exceptional care is needed most, we at Welcome Care proudly provide home health care that can be most beneficial for everyone involved, starting with our patients.

Our Caregivers – are utterly committed, highly qualified insured by Welcome Care and fingerprinted along an extensive criminal background check, in addition to multiple background checks. Each staff member has been thoroughly screened, trained and participates in regular in-services program and is experienced in handling the health care needs of those with limited mobility, while maintaining the highest standard of care, dignity and integrity.

We are committed in:

– Recruiting, training and retaining experienced staff;

– Valuing, recognizing, supporting and appreciating our staff who are our greatest asset;

– Developing and maintaining positive relationships with the community,

– Conducting our business in an accountable and responsible manner;

– Adhering to the professional code of ethics of the Home Care industry; and applying continuous
quality improvement measures throughout our Agency.
