The HCSB grants the A+ rating only to home care agencies that meet and adhere to a stringent code of standards and ethics. Established in 2013, the HCSB A+ rating is new, but Home Helpers has met the criteria necessary to obtain the rating since the company began providing care in 2005, Doepke said.
HCSB standards include extensive background checks and training for all caregivers. Once achieved, A+ agencies such as Home Helpers must submit monthly disclosure statements to ensure that those standards are being maintained. A+ agencies also are subject to planned and surprise audits by the HCSB.
