Helping In-Home Healthcare Providers Hire with Confidence

When Care Happens at Home, Trust Starts at the Door

In-home healthcare professionals aren’t just medical providers—they’re trusted guests. They enter people’s homes, often during moments of vulnerability, and offer support that’s both personal and professional. That’s why hiring the right caregivers isn’t just a staffing task—it’s a matter of safety, trust, and compliance.

So, how do you make sure your hires are truly trustworthy? You start with smart, thorough background checks.

Why Are Background Checks So Important for In-Home Healthcare?

Because you’re hiring people who’ll work one-on-one with patients—often unsupervised.

Unlike a clinic or hospital setting, home healthcare involves working in private spaces. Patients and families are trusting your agency to send qualified, compassionate professionals into their homes. Background checks help:

• Prevent abuse or neglect

• Reduce legal and financial liability

• Protect your agency’s reputation

• Build long-term client trust

What’s Included in a Strong In-Home Healthcare Background Check?

We tailor background screenings specifically for the healthcare space. Here’s what that often includes:

Comprehensive Criminal History

Includes federal, state, and county-level checks to flag any past convictions related to violence, theft, fraud, or abuse.

OIG and SAM Exclusion List Checks

Ensure you’re not hiring someone barred from participating in Medicare or Medicaid programs.

Ongoing Monitoring

Stay informed if an employee is convicted of a crime after hiring—without having to manually re-check records.

License & Credential Verification

Confirm professional licenses, certifications, and employment history to ensure qualifications are accurate.

Help protect vulnerable patients by ensuring your caregivers are focused, reliable, and drug-free.
