Caregiver / CNA / Home Care Aide / Personal Care Assistant

Company Overview In 2006, Roger and Darby Rhodes were inspired to open their own home care agency by their personal experience caring for Darby's father, Dr. Thomas L. Coriden. In the process of caring for him, they learned just how challenging it is to care foran elderly parent. Dr. Coriden practiced tender loving care throughout his medical career which is why he signed his patients' casts with his initials \"TLC\". Now, Dr. Coriden's TLC has been passed on to another generation. Roger and Darby follow Dr. Coriden's example by making it their mission to preserve our client's dignity, protect their independence, and provide peace of mind to clients as well as their families. To ensure this we only hire Caregivers who can provide personal home care services to clients with the same kindness and respect practiced by Darby's father. We offer employees a strong family-oriented culture and professional, accredited training that addresses relevant health and wellness issues. Homewatch CareGivers welcomes individuals into our family who are eager to continually learn in order to best serve clients evolving needs, and who demonstrate the passion for providing people with the quality care that they deserve.
