Premier Homecare prides itself on giving the most dependable and compassionate care available. Premier rigorously screens, selects and trains our caregivers, all of whom are employees of the company. This ensures that clients receive continuity of care from a highly qualified individual who is a known entity — not an independent contractor. The agency also takes care of paying caregivers’ salaries, taxes, benefits and workers’ compensation insurance, which takes the burden off of clients’ hands and puts it on Premier.
Premier is licensed as a residential service agency through the Maryland Office of Healthcare Quality, an
d all of our caregivers hold licenses or certifications from the Maryland Board of Nursing or the Virginia Board of Nursing. Caregivers receive ongoing training and instruction so they can embrace Premier’s philosophy for delivering compassionate, high-quality care. Additionally, registered nurses monitor clients’ clinical status so they can adjust caregiver plans as necessary.
Lastly, Premier has professional staff working from the home office who provide constant support to the field staff. These professionals advise, direct and evaluate the caregivers working in clients’ homes. Staff members (not individuals from an answering service) are on call to handle concerns or emergencies 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.
