Highly Trained Caregivers - Why our caregivers are better

We are pleased and excited to be working with one of the leading Educational Institutions for Caregivers in the US to educate our highly trained caregivers. Will are committed to offering only the best, most skilled and reputable candidates to our clients. To do this, we start with rigorous screening and hiring practices. But, to really ensure that every caregiver is consistent in their care, and sensitive to our clients' needs, we try to make sure that each and every one has completed our 61-hour Highly Trained Caregivers training program. If you have recently been hired by CWC, welcome aboard! Be proud of being selected to the CWC team. We have turned down many to find you. You have been given instructions on how to complete the training.

If you are considering becoming a team member, or using our wonderful caregivers, here is the course listing of our training program. Please feel free to contact us with any questions you have about this.
