AmeriCare Alliance® Seeks Compassionate Caregivers with Well-Defined and Diverse Skills to Provide Home Health Care Services

Written on May 8th, 2008 by Joseph in Franchise News.

At AmeriCare Alliance, our demand for caregivers continues to grow as a result of aggressive outreach endeavors. The
diversity of cases as well as the multicultural inhabitants of South Florida necessitates a need for caregivers with
varied experiences and backgrounds.

AmeriCare takes the time to ensure that all caregivers are compassionate and possess a superior level of skill which is only accomplished by experience gained through longevity as a result of working in this industry. This is determined
through a comprehensive background screening, driving record check and also the importance of the caregiver’s
positive motivational inspiration to choose this career path. However,
finding the right individuals to meet South Florida’s demand for caregivers is quite a task, as those in need of home
healthcare are surpassing the supply.

Caregiving responsibilities will likely come to many of us sometime during our
life. About 80% of older adults have chronic conditions such as hypertension or diabetes.
Thanks to advances in medical care, people with chronic illness often live with
and manage their illness successfully allowing them to remain in the familiar comfort of their homes,
but may need in-home healthcare. This is where the service AmeriCare provides will help. The need for caregivers at AmeriCare has become critical as we service more than just seniors. People of all ages may need companion services and home healthcare.

Our caregivers at AmeriCare can provide a wide-range of services including companionship, meal-prep,
light housekeeping, transportation, errands, child care and much more. AmeriCare can provide services seven days a week at any time of the day; a live-in caregiver can also be requested. The respect of our clients plays a very important role and includes the
following rights:
• To be fully informed of the service plan and to accept or refuse services
• To be supplied with a 24-hour contact number
• To be informed of complaint procedures and submit complaints without fear of discrimination or retaliation
• To confidentiality and to have their property and residence treated with respect
• To obtain a copy of the provider’s license and contact the Office of Regulatory Services to verify state
licensing.

To meet the national shortage of qualified caregivers, AmeriCare is establishing a scholarship fund for students hoping to pursue an education in the healthcare field. This grant will include students interested in entering fields
such as Certified Nursing Assistant, Home Health Aide, Medical Assistant and Registered Nursing. Financial aid
will be awarded to the individuals applying based upon a personal essay describing what driving force or life experience
compels them to aid others in the healthcare field. Also considered will be community service, financial
hardship and academics.

AmeriCare can be of assistance in providing information regarding support groups for individuals and their families suffering from Alzheimer’s, Autism or other diseases. Additionally, we can recommend places to obtain
medical supplies for those in need.

AmeriCare Alliance®, a premier health care service provider with its headquarters in Atlanta and founded in 2003,
established over 20 area developers with pilot franchises located across the country.
