The Heart of Caregiving: How 2nd Family of East Central Ohio Ensures Excellence with each of our Senior Caregivers in Canton – Zanesville

In the golden years of life, the comfort and safety of your loved one are paramount. At 2nd Family of East Central Ohio, we understand this deeply, and it is reflected in every step of our caregiver hiring and vetting process. The journey of our senior caregivers in Canton, New Philadelphia, Zanesville or the surrounding areas joining our team is not just about checking boxes but about ensuring a perfect blend of skill, compassion, and the unique ability to turn everyday care into an experience filled with warmth and understanding.

The Seed of Trust: Our Vetting Process

Pre-screening for Passion and Purpose

Our journey in selecting the right members for our caregiving team starts with a meticulous pre-screening process. Prospective caregivers are not only evaluated based on their qualifications but also on their reasons for choosing this noble path. Why home health aide? This question unlocks the motivation and commitment lying at the heart of their choice. We also provide a range of client care scenarios, ensuring that potential staff share our same approach to senior care.

The Grandma Guarantee

During the interview, we introduce what we fondly call the “Grandma Guarantee.” This unique approach is our way of ensuring that every caregiver we select is someone we would trust with our own grandmothers. It’s a promise, a commitment, a standard that goes beyond professional qualifications.

Experience that Speaks

Every story and every previous experience of our applicants matter. We look for at least one year of hands-on experience in home health aide roles. This criterion ensures that our caregivers are not just trained but seasoned in the art of care. You will find no better senior caregivers in Zanesville, Canton, New Philadelphia, or anywhere in between.

Building the Foundations: Requirements and Training

Stringent Selection Criteria

Our caregivers are the pillars of trust and care, and we ensure this through rigorous requirements. Every potential team member must have at least a year’s experience in home health aid and must successfully pass a comprehensive background check.

Continuous Growth and Learning

Growth is continuous at 2nd Family. Our caregivers have access to an online education program, encouraging ongoing learning. With a requirement of completing 8 hours of education annually, and opportunities to pursue additional classes, our team is always at the forefront of caregiving skills and knowledge.

The Embodiment of Care: Supervision and Support

Guidance by Expert Hands

Every member of our caregiving team works under the supervision and guidance of a trained RN Care Coordinator. This coordination ensures that the care provided is not just compassionate but also clinically sound and tailored to the unique needs of each client.

A Symbiotic Relationship

The RN Care Coordinator is more than a supervisor; they are mentors, guides, and support systems, ensuring our caregivers have a resource for every question and concern, guaranteeing the highest quality of care for your loved one.

2025 Caregiver of the Year - Ashley St. Claire

Ashley St. Claire is the 2nd Family Caregiver of the Year for the East Central Ohio location. As of January 2025, Ashley has been employed with us for 6 months and has proven to be a valuable member of our team. While only working a few hours a week at the start of employment, she has developed into one of our most reliable caregivers and works a full schedule now for her primary client. Ashley has gone above and beyond her caregiving duties with her primary client as she also looks out for the client’s husband and is sure to stay and assist the client if an emergency occurs with the husband. Recently, the client’s husband suffered a medical emergency and had to be taken to the hospital, leaving Ashley with her client and no one else to care for her. Ashley stayed with the client to care for her until the family was able to arrive and make decisions on her care. In addition, Ashley stayed beyond her scheduled hours when the husband was in an accident and did not arrive back home at the end of her shift. Ashley agreed to stay with the client in the home until the client was in a safe situation with family. The family is very appreciative of the care given to them by Ashley and so are we!
