All Cahoon Care caregivers and care managers complete extensive training in Alzheimer’s and dementia care (both in-house and through the Alzheimer’s Association). Our Alzheimer’s and dementia services on Massachusetts’ South Shore are available for as little as four hours a week or as much as 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Cahoon Care’s professional care managers work closely with you and your family to find the best caregiver match and ensure satisfaction. Our goal is to create meaningful connections between clients and caregivers. We will customize a home care plan that includes the scope of assistance, hours of service, and any specific care needs or desires. All our home care services along Massachusetts’ South Shore are personalized to fit your needs.
Our caregivers are highly skilled and experienced professionals, including CNAs and HHAs. Cahoon Care caregivers have an unparalleled passion for enriching the lives of others. Our vetting process includes a thorough screening and criminal background checks, as well as previous work history verification and professional references to verify the quality of the potential caregiver.
All our caregivers are Cahoon Care Associates employees, not independent contractors. We manage all scheduling, payroll, and taxes. Additionally, we are bonded and have general liability and workers’ compensation insurance for all caregivers, so you can feel secure welcoming our caregivers into your home.
Cahoon Care staff is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year for emergencies. Our team staffs the phone; we do not use an answering service. We take a proactive approach to your care management, routinely providing in-home checks so that our care managers are abreast of your changing needs. This creates a cohesive and consistent relationship between Cahoon Care, our caregivers, and you.
