Our Caregiver Screening Process

We believe families should feel comfortable knowing that caregivers have gone through an important screening process before providing care in their homes. Every caregiver at Abbey Home Services receives a fingerprint-based criminal background check through the Illinois Health Care Worker Registry (IDPH) before working with any client. Anyone with disqualifying convictions is not hired.

Home Care Caregiver Training in Illinois

Good caregiving requires preparation. That's why caregiver training is an important part of our process at Abbey Home Services. All caregivers complete at least 8 hours of training before their first assignment and 8 hours of continuing training every year, as required by Illinois.

BEFORE FIRST ASSIGNMENT

Initial Caregiver Training

Before beginning their first assignment, caregivers complete the required initial training to help prepare them for their responsibilities and ensure high-quality care.

ANNUAL REQUIREMENT

Continuing Caregiver Training

Caregivers training programs continue even after they have assumed their initial duties. To ensure they remain constantly prepared, reliable, and skilled, every caregiver participates in ongoing training each year.

Support Behind Every Caregiver

Caregiver Supervision & Regular Client Check-Ins

Our caregivers don't work without support. A supervisor oversees each caregiver's work and checks in with clients regularly. This provides families with another point of contact and helps Abbey Home Services stay connected to the care experience.

Regular check-ins also give clients and families an opportunity to communicate questions or concerns with our team.

Connected Behind the Scenes

We believe dependable in-home care includes not only the caregiver providing support in the home, but also a dedicated administrative team that remains actively connected every step of the way.

Personalized Caregiver Matching

Finding the Right Caregiver for Each Client. The right caregiver is about more than simply finding someone who is available. We consider key personal factors for an appropriate match.

01

Care Needs

We consider the client's individual care needs and the specific type of non-medical support required.

02

Schedule

We consider the client's preferred schedule and timing preferences when making a caregiver match.

03

Location

Location is factored in to help create a practical and punctual caregiver-client arrangement.

04

Language

When possible, we consider language needs to make communication seamless and comfortable for families.

05

Personality

Personality matters. A good caregiver match should feel warm and comfortable for both the client and caregiver.

Practical Promises. Personal Care.

At Abbey Home Services, we believe families deserve more than general promises about compassionate care. Our commitment should be reflected in the everyday experience of working with us.
