Shepherd's

Shepherd's Staff In-home Care is devoted to providing our clients with best caregivers in the industry. To achieve this, we hire strong candidates and train them carefully. We perform criminal background checks, drug tests, and a driving record review, and we obtain four to six positive references from personal and professional associates. Successful candidates receive six hours of caregiver training and orientation and then go on to complete our exclusive Certified Companion Aide® program, which boosts their skills and instills in them the highest standards of caregiver professionalism. In addition, many of our caregivers attain certification and additional educational development through our affiliation with the Institute for Professional Care Education (IPCed), a national training and certification company for the caregiving professions.
