Frequently Asked Questions at Waverly Care

The Manager and Vice President of Waverly Care interviews each caregiver personally, and we directly employ, rather than contract, the caregivers we send to your loved one’s home. All Waverly Care caregivers must pass 2 face-to-face interviews, at least 2 positive professional reference checks, State criminal clearance, Penndot 10-year Driver’s record, drug screening, county criminal record checks, the Office of Inspector General check, and infectious disease screening. We require a comprehensive orientation program and regularly review each employee’s performance. This process allows us full control over the quality of services we provide to you.

Waverly Care employs licensed certified nurse aides, home health aides, and social caregivers with a variety of backgrounds. We provide ongoing training to our associates in areas including, but not limited to, Alzheimer’s care, skin care, person-centered care, transfer techniques, infectious disease control, nutrition, elder abuse and neglect, incontinence and constipation, pain levels, guidelines for performing personal care, and end-of-life care.

No, your caregiver is employed and covered under Waverly Care insurance. We take on all the employer responsibilities, including payroll taxes, worker’s compensation insurance, training, and supervision.
