Staff
As a licensed provider, VNP ensures that its employees are screened, referenced,
and verified through comprehensive criminal history and background checks and
drug testing.
For our customers' protection, all caregivers are trained, bonded,
and insured prior to entering customers’ homes. We take care of our employees'
payroll, taxes and workers’ compensation, and we follow the guidelines
of the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
of 1996; please refer to our Notice of Privacy Practices.
VNP caregivers are required to participate in a full schedule of orientation
and training that includes company policies, procedures and expectations for
exceptional customer care; CPR; personal care skills; issues of aging and
various disease processes; nutrition; infection control; proper use of personal
protective equipment; and emergency preparedness. Caregivers attend continuing
education inservices throughout the year, featuring topics such as incontinence
care, caring for a customer with Alzheimer’s, and more. VNP staff is
also required to have a Mantoux test annually to check for tuberculosis exposure.
