We are very picky about who we hire.
Bee Helpful's Caregivers are carefully chosen to ensure they are compassionate caregivers with the utmost integrity. We do not hire 1099 (contractors). All of our Caregivers are W4 employees. In addition, all staff complete a full Nationwide Criminal check, Elder Abuse Registry check, SSN Verification, 7yr address history, Treasury Dept Office of Foreign Assets, and OIG Exclusion list checks.
Caregiver Training
All Caregivers complete 6 hours of Dementia Training by Teepa Snow or Alzheimer's Association, CPR Certification, Infection Control training, DNR, and Client specific training as needed. PCAs (Personal Care Assistants) receive 8 hours of professional training.
Insurance
We carry professional, business insurance, and workman's compensation insurance.
Our organization is inspired by Teepa Snow and the Positive Approach to Care® methods and dementia education. While inspired, any knowledge or skills we offer are only representative of our organization, independent of Positive Approach to Care®.
