All of our caregivers undergo a rigorous hiring process. When caregivers are interviewed, they must complete a written competency exam. Right at Home then performs complete background checks on all potential employees. Our comprehensive background check process includes the following: Nurse’s Aide Registry, Massachusetts Criminal Offender Record (CORI), The Office of Inspector General (which checks for Medicare fraud), After these checks are complete, we then use CHECKR National Background Check which runs a County Criminal Background Search and National Criminal Database Search, A Federal Criminal Background Search, The Sex Offender Registry, A Social Security Number Trace, A Global Watchlist Search and a DMV report. Once this comes back, we run an E-Verify screening with verifies employment eligibility and ensures the person being hired is authorized to work in the United States. Right at Home also verifies two (2) professional references. If an applicant passes our screening process and is hired, they attend a five hour orientation which is taught by one of our nurses. They must also demonstrate competency on Activities of Daily Living (ADL’s) and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL’s) in our training lab before ever going to a client’s home.
