What sets Patient Caregivers apart from all other caregiving agencies?

Our Origin 

Patient Caregivers was created by Dr. Paul Sirbaugh, a son who was blessed with the opportunity to care for his own aging parents.  While it wasn’t difficult for him to locate licensed personal assistance services, i.e. caregiving agencies, it proved impossible for him to find an agency that provided, what he considered to be, the exceptional in-home care that his parents deserved.  As a result, he began to personally recruit, train, manage and retain his own group of around-the-clock, talented caregivers.  Dr. Sirbaugh created Patient Caregivers out of a need to bridge the gap between the talented caregiver and the aging adult in need.

Our Caregivers

Patient Caregivers' applicant screening process is stringent.  To be considered for a formal interview, applicants must pass an extensive criminal background check and mandatory drug test, which is repeated randomly, throughout their employment.  Each applicant must also provide excellent references to ensure that he or she is the most qualified person to care for your loved one.  Step two is a reliable and valid personality assessment.  This is essential in creating the best match for you and your loved one.  Not every match will be perfect so constant reassessment for compatibility continues throughout the relationship.  If necessary, changes will be made to ensure that a harmonious relationship always exists between the caregiver and your loved one.  Ultimately, all of our caregivers must possess the same five essential qualities: compassion, competence, patience, integrity, and joy.

Our Flexibility

We provide part-time, full-time, morning, afternoon, evening, overnight, weekend, live-in and holiday care.  We provide transportation, companionship, and assistance with daily living to anyone, anywhere, at anytime.  Aging adults require special environments.  We will guide you in making your home comfortable and livable for your aging loved one.

Our Accessibility

We pride ourselves in our ability to provide you with the peace of mind that comes from knowing that your loved one is in capable hands.  Sometimes life's circumstances don't allow for the time necessary to make that "perfect match".  When time is not an option, we shift the priority to placement.
