About Advantage Home Care

Richard Blumenthal, Founder and President

Advantage Home Care was founded in 2008 based upon my desire to help senior citizens have an affordable option of remaining in their homes as long as possible as an alternative to different types of residential care available that often require the elderly to give up many of their cherished possessions as they downsize to the smaller living spaces that most senior living facilities offer. By remaining in their homes they can still feel independent while enjoying surroundings that are familiar and comfortable. My interest was based upon experiences with my own mother who insisted on remaining in her home despite a number of physical and cognitive challenges until her death from her a stroke over 20 years ago. The choices available for her at home were limited in those days and since we all lived out of state it was difficult to access the quality care that we new she needed.
 
Today there are many in home and residential options available to seniors. However, many prefer to stay independent on their homes and long as they can. At Advantage Home Care we make that happen for the elderly by providing  high quality care for seniors in their homes.  My background as a teacher of the handicapped and my business experience in educational publishing have provided me a tremendous amount of expertise to build an organization of well, trained and caring providers.

The criteria I use to hire and place a caregiver with a senior is always based upon the answer to the following question...
Would I send out this caregiver to take of my own mother in her home? The answer to that question must always be “yes”. That means that each person I send out has been thoroughly screened and trained to provide the highest quality of care. The screening process is comprehensive and includes drug screening, criminal background checks, credit checks, reference checks and multiple personal interviews. In this way we identify quality caregivers who have a deep respect for the elderly and who love working with them.
 
The commitment to client safety and quality care is also a key goal of my business. To accomplish that goal I maintain a high level of supervision of my staff in the field, initiate frequent client contacts to insure that the goals of care are being met and provide ongoing training of the staff to insure the continuation of quality care through the term of the assignment.
 
To insure a good fit between the caregiver and the senior client, the backgrounds and personalities and interests of both the caregiver and the client are matched as closely as possible to insure that a relationship will result.

For example a client who grew up on a farm and lived in the country with her family was matched with a caregiver with a similar background. The result has been a strong client caregiver relationship that has been extremely positive aspect of the care of this client.
 
At Advantage Home Care we take pride in helping seniors enjoy the advantages of staying at home.
