Who Are Our Caregivers?
At Caring First, LLC, our caregivers are the heart of our mission to provide exceptional non-medical home care. They are compassionate, skilled, and dedicated professionals who are passionate about helping individuals with disabilities, injuries, mobility challenges, or illnesses live independently and comfortably in their own homes.
Our caregivers come from diverse backgrounds but share a common purpose: to enhance the quality of life for our clients through personalized, attentive care. Whether providing companionship, assistance with daily activities, or specialized support for conditions like Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s, our team is committed to delivering care with dignity and respect.
Our Rigorous Selection Process
We believe great care starts with great caregivers. That’s why we have a thorough screening and hiring process to ensure only the most qualified and compassionate individuals join our team.
Our caregivers:

Caring for older adults at home is a dynamic and evolving responsibility. To ensure our caregivers are fully prepared, we provide all state-required training in Pennsylvania, along with ongoing opportunities for advanced education. Our team also benefits from training and certification through a nationally recognized organization, empowering them to deliver consistent, high-quality care with confidence.
Our caregivers receive extensive training to provide the highest level of care. This includes:
- An in-depth orientation program to prepare them for delivering professional care.
- Specialized training in caregiving skills, infection control, and supporting clients with conditions like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, or post-stroke recovery.

Personalized Caregiver Matching
At Caring First, LLC, we understand that every client is unique. Our personalized matching process ensures that we pair each client with a caregiver whose skills, personality, and approach align with their specific needs and preferences. We:
- Conduct a free in-home assessment to understand your loved one’s needs, schedule, and personality.
- Select caregivers based on this assessment and arrange introductory meetings to ensure a good fit.
- Allow you to choose the caregiver who best matches your loved one’s needs, ensuring a strong, trusting relationship.
Our Commitment to Your Peace of Mind
We take every step to ensure your loved one receives reliable, high-quality care. Our caregivers are W-2 employees, not independent contractors, meaning we handle all scheduling, payroll, and insurance, so you don’t have to worry about administrative burdens or legal risks.
To ensure accountability, we use a phone check-in and check-out system. Caregivers are required to clock in and out using the client’s home phone, and our team is alerted if a caregiver does not check in within minutes of their scheduled arrival time.
