About Our Professional Staff:

All of our professional caregivers have been individually screened and carefully selected to meet our stringent requirements. Caregivers are selected partly based on their experience, education, and abilities. Selection is also based on character, ethics, and other traits which are so important in your day-to-day interactions with them: a caring personality, a strong desire to help others, a strong work ethic, and self motivation to go beyond what is expected. Volunteer and religious affiliations are also considered.

Our caregivers are all professionals. Your care needs will help determine which caregiver will do the best job for you. Our caregivers include nurses and former nurses, CNAs (certified nurse aides), PCPs (personal care providers) and homemakers. All caregivers are CPR and First Aid trained and certified. All of our caregivers are also provided with company training in critical areas of eldercare and home care.

Caregivers interested in applying to Home Care & Companions, Inc. can call Linda Polland at (719)337-3318 or (303)618-0785 (Douglas County). Unlike franchise home health services offering applications for download to anyone, we prefer to begin our potential employee application screening with a preliminary phone interview. Applicants who pass this level will be offered an application and the rigorous reference and background check follows a review of the application packet. In-person interviews are offered to only the best candidates.
