Hill Country Care Providers is a unique home health agency in Austin, in that it has two licenses, one in home health and one in personal assistance service. Additionally, it is one of the few agencies whose owner is a certified Geriatric Care Manager. The caregivers, as well as all administrative personnel, complete a rigorous training course in dementia and geriatric care. In addition, each caregiver receives orientation as well as on-the-job training upon employment. They also participate in ongoing in-service programs as identified.
Hill Country Care Providers has been in operation for over 10 years. Several of the caregivers have been working with the agency since its inception, while many of the other caregivers have been with the agency for four or more years. This longevity provides an excellent understanding of personalities when determining which caregiver is best suited for the client.
Lastly, there is a registered nurse on call 24/7 for both the clients as well as for the caregivers. This provides quick accessibility to experienced personnel who are not only specialized in geriatric issues, but also have experience with other chronic disease states and other nursing care principles that may be required.
