Every Endurance Home Care caregiver passes background checks, reference checks, and verification of qualifications and certifications before ever meeting a client.
How home care agencies screen caregivers
Families ask a version of the same question before they ask about price: who exactly is being sent, and what was checked before that person had the address. The answer here runs in three parts, in the order they happen.
- Background checksRun before a caregiver is placed with any household.
- Reference checksCalled, not collected. Past employers and past families.
- Qualifications and certificationsVerified against the record, not taken on a resume.
None of that is unusual in this industry, and that is the point. It is the floor, not the differentiator. What matters is that the floor is never skipped because a schedule is tight and a household needs coverage by Thursday. A caregiver who has not cleared all three does not go into a home, and the sequence does not shorten when the week is busy.
Everything worth reading on this page sits above that floor: a training program with a named scope, and a matching process that makes fit the actual work rather than a courtesy at the end of it. For the founding story behind that standard, read about Endurance Home Care.
How does Endurance Home Care screen caregivers?
Every Endurance Home Care caregiver goes through a thorough screening process: background checks, reference checks, and verification of qualifications and certifications. Screening is only the floor. Caregivers then enter a training program that covers disease states and health and wellness, and matching decisions weigh personality and fit, not just availability.
Screening tells a family who someone is not. Training decides what that person can do on an ordinary Tuesday.
Endurance runs an extensive Care Professional training program, and its scope is named rather than implied: disease states, and health and wellness. A caregiver arrives understanding what the conditions in a household tend to look like across a day, so support is steady instead of improvised. It stays daily-living throughout. Caregivers support, remind, accompany, coordinate, and supervise. They do not diagnose, treat, or assess.
That investment is also why the agency mission has two halves. It commits to the household, and it commits to providing enriching opportunities for our care professionals. An agency that means the second half keeps the caregiver who already knows where the coffee is, and continuity is the part a family feels first.

Matching is the part families talk about afterward
Screened
Background, references, qualifications and certifications.
Trained
The Care Professional program, disease states and wellness.
Matched
Interviewed by the family, then placed with that household.
Availability is the fastest way to fill a shift and the worst way to choose a caregiver. Fit is decided by interview here, not by whoever is free on the calendar. Families have interviewed multiple candidates before choosing one, and they are meant to: the person who works out in a quiet house with a crossword on the table is rarely the same person who works out in a loud one with three grandchildren in and out all afternoon.
It is also why a match that is not working gets changed rather than defended. Nobody involved gains anything from a placement both sides are enduring, and a family that has to ask twice has already been let down once. When the match is right, the sentence families use is almost always about temperament rather than tasks.
The same instinct runs the hiring side of the office. You can meet the founders and team who set that standard and still take the calls when it slips.
“They matched us right away with an aide, who has shown true flexibility around scheduling, unwavering patience, and a warm, empathetic approach”
“My mom’s caregiver is amazing, so happy and full of joy and that is rubbing off on my mom as well”
Can families interview caregivers before choosing one?
Yes. Endurance Home Care families have interviewed multiple candidates before choosing, and matching on fit is the point: one family was matched right away with an aide who showed true flexibility around scheduling, unwavering patience, and a warm, empathetic approach.

Caregivers hiredNearly 500In the prior year, per McKnight's Home Care
McKnight’s Home Care reported that Endurance hired nearly 500 caregivers in a single year. A number that size is not a boast, it is a description of the work: somebody is screening, training and matching at that pace every week, and the same three checks apply to every one of those hires. If you are reading this page as a care professional rather than as a daughter or a son, that is the door you are standing at.
