If you’re compassionate, empathetic, and patient, you may have what it takes to become a caregiver. MDC Healthcare professionals are devoted to a life of service and continued education, and strive to improve the quality of life of those aging in place, recovering from injury, or living with a chronic health condition.
The core work culture at MDC Healthcare is best described by The MDC Way, a collection of values and expectations that our best caregivers follow. With composure, empathy, integrity, trust, and perseverance, there’s no challenge our care team can’t overcome.
A few of the behaviors we value in a caregiver include:
Being a primary caregiver with a home care agency is a very rewarding and challenging role that demands flexibility. MDC Healthcare provides caregiving services 24/7, and is highly responsive to client requests. We offer everything from senior care to respite care for family caregivers.
As a care professional, you provide…
Physical therapy restores functionality to large muscles when clients suffer pain and discomfort from disease or injury. Our specialists help you get to those services to aid recovery and reduce the chances of reinjury.
Caring for a family member is an emotionally and physically draining experience. Respite care offers relief to family caregivers. Our aides step in and provide temporary care to clients while their primary caregiver takes time to rest and tend to other matters.
Occupational therapists improve a client’s quality of life by teaching them how to develop and maintain the fine motor skills they need to complete activities of daily living. We recommend methods and home modifications to make tasks like bathing and toileting easier.
MDC Healthcare has served Georgia families for over a decade. Our care coordinators work closely with clients to build care plans that meet their specific needs. We offer unmatched personalization and high-quality care.
Companion caregivers and private homemakers in the state of Georgia need training in basic caregiving skills, including HIPAA, safety, infection control, and elder abuse. In addition, potential caregivers need 8 hours of training on state-approved topics within the first year of certification, with renewal training each following year. Here at MDC Healthcare, we offer that training.
Nurse aides must complete a state-approved program that meets the minimum federal caregiving training requirements and pass the CNA certification exam. Continuing education units (CEUs) are required every following year.
Senior companion care aides assist older adults with activities of daily living, helping with tasks like grocery shopping and light housekeeping. These home care aides make aging in place an enjoyable and comfortable experience for clients. To become a companion caregiver, applicants need a GED or high school diploma. A valid driver’s license and clean driving record are also required. Those who have prior experience working with the elderly and who have strong interpersonal skills are ideal candidates for the position.
