Worldwide experience
Homewatch CareGivers in Ireland is part of an International Group of Companies that was established over 25 years ago. Over those years we have perfected our services and processes. We can confidently say that we have an unequalled level of quality control that ensures that we remain at the forefront of modern worldwide home care supply. Nowhere is this more evident than in the quality of our people.

Rigorous vetting
As you are effectively inviting a stranger into your home it is vital that we have a robust and stringent vetting procedure for all of our caregivers. Each caregiver employed by us is inteviewed in depth to ensure that they can and want to live up to our vision “To be the leading care provider that enables our clients get the most from life”.

In addition, a full background check similar to that initiated for childcare and security industries is undertaken. Only after this and a satisfactory reference check is undertaken from previous employers to ensure that this person is right for the role, will that person be considered for recruitment and training.

Extensive and ongoing training
Each of our caregivers goes through an initial extensive training programme to ensure that we deliver superior care to our clients in a consistant manner. Because we believe in continuous improvement, on-going training is an integral part of our daily working lives, we insist that each caregiver continues in a structured manner, to be further trained as part of our skills development programme.

Quality control

Our supervisors constantly assess the performance of our caregivers and visit with them periodically while they are in the home. This means we can constantly monitor the level of care being provided and thus guarantee that the highest standards are maintained at all times. In addition, because of our “family centred” approach and commitment to open and frank communications, you will have the comfort of knowing that you and your family will have an opportunity to be involved in and contribute to this on-going process of ensuring that the care being provided is the most relevant and is of the highest possible standard.

Consistency and continuity
These are two hallmarks of success for us. We have developed processes and procedures to ensure that we consistently deliver the right level of care required. For this reason we have caregivers with different experiences and skills depending on the requirement of our client. Through our initial consultation we accurately match the most appropriate caregiver to our client on a needs requirement and best-fit basis.

Where possible we ensure that the allocated individual becomes the primary caregiver on a continuing basis for the client so that a relationship can be formed to the benefit of the client. Again, this leads to improved peace of mind and a greater sense of wellbeing for all.
