Safety and Security for Caregivers in the Home

This past week, Stephen Tweed, CEO of Leading Home Care and Founder of Caregiver Quality Assurance� was interviewed by Heather Caspi, a writer for EMS World, a publication for Emergency Medical Services.  Heather was doing research on a article about safety issues for emergency responders.

In the article, Heather wrote about the types of precautions that home care and hospice companies take to assure the safety of their in-home care workers.  There are some clear parallels between the safety precautions of Emergency Medical Service responders and home care workers.

What Owners Want in an Applicant Tracking System

One of the things that many of the members of Caregiver Quality Assurance� ask about  is an Applicant Tracking System (ATS). This is an online system where applicants can answer some qualifying questions and complete an application.  Then you can track their progress through the selection and hiring process.

We've been exploring available applicant tracking systems to see if we can find one that we can integrate with the CQA pre-employment assessment system to make it easier for you to take applications, do an initial screening, administer the CQA assessment, and document  your face-to-face interview.

Making a Difference this Christmas

Dear friends of Leading Home Care, Caregiver Quality Assurance and The Academy for Private Duty Home Care,

December is a time of celebration, family, gift giving, and making a difference.  I'm sure you have a number of charities and worthy causes that you support and we applaud you for that.  If you have a few minutes and a few dollars left in your charitable giving account, I'd like to ask you to take a look at a very special program that we have started this year at Leading Home Care.
