Ten Steps Manos Home Care Takes to Find the Right People
1. Oriented
After hearing about Manos Home Care through
newspaper ads and friends, potential applicants must call in for an
appointment to attend an orientation. If the applicant attends the
orientation on time, they can make an appointment for an interview.
2. Interviewed
Applicants must arrive on time, fill out
an application, and be interviewed.
3. Invited to Training
Those applicants having satisfactory interviews
may be invited to a training, based on their availability and skills.
4. Trained
Applicants are given a two-day training covering
The needs of the elderly and sick
Body mechanics

5. Evaluated
Applicants are evaluated for
Competence: can they do the work?
Reliability: can they be trusted?
Maturity: are they patient and able to listen?
6. Fingerprinted
Applicants who pass the course must then
be fingerprinted. Fingerprints are sent to the Department of Justice
and returned with a list of any federal crimes for which they were
arrested and/or convicted.
7. DMV Report Obtained
We obtain their driving records from the
department of motor vehicles.
8. References Checked
We check their work references by phone to
get specific feedback on an applicant's past performance.
9. TB Test Required
We require aides to take a tuberculosis test
within 30 days of employment.
10. CPR Certificate Required
Applicants must take a course in Cardiopulmonary
Resuscitation (CPR) at our training site if they do not have a current
CPR card.
