The people who walk into your home matter more than anything.
Berkins caregivers are screened, trained, and matched with the care of a family hire, because that's what they are. Here's every step we take before a caregiver meets your loved one.

Caregiver pairing
Six steps before they step through your door.
Most agencies check a box. We run a process — because the quality of that first visit determines everything that follows.
Application & screening
Multi-stage background check including criminal history, BMV, sex offender registry, and abuse registries.
In-person interview
Behavioral interviews focused on empathy, dependability, and judgment. Résumé is the last thing we look at.
Training & competency
Hands-on training in personal care, dementia, fall prevention, infection control, HIPAA, and Berkins standards.
Drug & health screening
Pre-employment drug screen and required health documentation, including TB testing.
Personality match
We hand-match caregivers to clients based on personality, language, and preferences.
Ongoing development
Quarterly training, supervisor home visits, and continuing education to keep our team sharp.
