VIP America is owned by a team of healthcare specialists with over 30 years in the homecare staffing industry. We are licensed and insured. We are on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week. What we are all about is……… “People Helping People Stay Independent in Their Own Homes.”

VIP America's referred caregivers allow a loved one to maintain his or her independence at home when assistance is needed--the aged, the convalescing, the injured, and the handicapped. Caregivers can provide companionship, homemaking, respite care, transportation, personal care, and nursing care on an hourly, shift-work, or live-in basis.

VIP America distinguishes itself in the following ways:

  • Private homecare is our only business. We recruit, qualify, orient, and refer caregivers for the specific purpose of providing quality care and service.

  • We focus on the psychosocial care of clients as well as the physical services so clients are matched with caregivers that are compatible as well as trained and able to provide the care that is needed.

  • Our  staff personally introduces new caregivers to clients to assure a good startup.

  • We have nurses available to provide skilled care.

  • We originate from our office quality assurance phone calls to the client or contact person to ensure satisfaction.


    We refer the following types of Caregiver Services:


Companion / Homemaker

Companion/homemakers help elderly, disabled, ill, and convalescing persons live in their own homes instead of health facilities. Most work with individuals or couples who need more extensive care than family or friends can provide. Some companion / homemakers work with families in which a parent is incapacitated and small children need care. Others help discharged patients who have relatively short-term needs. Still others provide 24-hour live-in care.

Companion / homemakers provide housekeeping services, companionship, and emotional support for their clients. They clean clients' houses, do laundry, and change bed linens. They may also plan meals, shop for food, and cook. They can provide transportation to medical appointments or outings.


CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant)
HHA
(Home Health Aide)

CNA/HHA’s provide personal care services, also know as "hands-on" care because they physically touch the client/patient. These caregivers help clients get in and out of bed, bathe, dress, groom, and eat. They also check vital signs, help with simple prescribed exercises, and assist with medication routines.

Occasionally they change non-sterile dressings, use special equipment such as hydraulic lifts, give massages and alcohol rubs, or assist with braces and artificial limbs. Some accompany clients outside the home. CNA/HHA’s keep records of services performed and of each client’s condition and progress. They report changes in the client's condition to the registered nurse supervisor. A CNA/HHA may perform any of the homemaker / companion services.


LPN’s (Licensed Practical Nurse)

LPN’s have a practical nurse license and are under the supervision of a registered nurse or a physician. An LPN. maintains the medical plan of treatment created by the registered nurse and approved by the physician. An LPN can also perform the services of a CNA, homemaker, and companion.

RN’s (Registered Nurses)

RN’s are licensed and maintain clinical records for clients receiving nursing care. An RN develops medical plans for treatment and can maintain them or supervise their maintenance. An RN supervises LPN’s and CNA’s. An RN can manage client medications, do IV Infusion Therapy, do Colostomy care and is available on an hourly, shift, or live-in basis.


Live-In’s

Live-in service is 24-hour care that can be provided by a companion / homemaker, CNA, HHA, LPN, or RN. The caregiver can provide care according to the guidelines of his or her licensure as well as companion / homemaker services. A live-in caregiver is a caregiver that lives-in with the client 24 hours a day so that clients are not left alone. These caregivers must be able to have appropriate rest time (for client’s that need 24-hour attention, or are up a lot during the night needing assistance, we refer hourly caregivers for shift-work care).
