Standards of
Non-Medical Home Care Services |
The Association's Standards of
Service
The Arizona Non-Medical Home Care
Association and its Members believe the importance of standards as rules or
requirements that have been determined by a consensus opinion that
prescribes the accepted and (theoretically) the best criteria for providing
non-medical home care services to the consumer. Some of the general benefits
of the Association's Standards of Service are protection for the consumer,
quality services, reliability and consistency in the delivery of those
services, and safety for the clients and Caregivers.
Members in Good Standing with the
Association have completed a thorough application process. They have been
verified to conform with and have agreed to maintain the Association'
Standards in all their business practices. Member's business practices are
periodically checked to verify the consistency of adhering to the
Association's Standards.
The Association's Standards of Service
are straight forward gives the consumer valuable information regarding how
its Member's conduct their non-medical home care business. Many of the
Standards are common business sense. Other Standards address issues
particular to the non-medical home care industry. As a consumer, especially
a first time consumer of non-medical home care services, the Standards give
evidence to the dedication and business ethic of the Association's
Members. If a person is considering non-medical home care services, we
believe it important to know who a person is dealing with and what their
business ethic is. The consumer knows these things when they deal with a
Member of the Association. If a person deals with a non-medical home care
provider that is not a Member of the Association, one has to ask, "Why not?"
We contend it is a gamble, a gamble taken with the care of a loved one,
when
a person employs a non-medical home care provider that is not a Member of
the Association.
