We hire ~1 in 20.
Every applicant is interviewed in person, reference-checked at length, and observed in a real client environment before they're offered a role. Kindness is non-negotiable. Everything else can be taught.
Our Caregivers
The people we send into your home are the entire promise.
Anyone can write a brochure. The real test is who walks through your door at 7 a.m. on a Tuesday. Here is the standard we hold — and how we hold it.
EverCare caregivers are CNAs, HHAs, or paid caregivers with 2+ years of experience. Every caregiver completes certified memory care training before any client visit. We match each client with one primary caregiver and one trained backup — same dementia-trained, background-checked, Alzheimer's-experienced face every visit, across Oakland, Macomb, and Wayne counties.

One-to-one matching
The right caregiver isn't a person. It's a fit.
We don't pull from a roster. We hand-match — using everything we learned in the assessment, plus what only experience can teach. If the first match isn't right, we change it. No fees. No awkwardness. The right fit is the entire point.
- Personality and communication style
- Stage of dementia and care complexity
- Cultural background and language preferences
- Hobbies, faith, and life history
- Pet comfort and household environment
- Schedule fit and geographic proximity
How we hire
We screen for the heart first.
Roughly one in twenty applicants becomes an EverCare caregiver. Credentials are the floor, not the ceiling. Before anyone is offered a role, they sit across from a senior member of our team for a long, unhurried interview — the kind that surfaces the difference between someone who can do this work and someone who is built for it. We listen for patience, for instinct around fragility, for the way a person talks about their own grandparents.
We then verify everything: multi-state criminal background, driving record, sex-offender registry, employment history, and a minimum of three professional references — most of whom we actually call, not just email. Final-round candidates spend time in a real client environment under one of our senior caregivers, so we can watch how they move through a home, how they handle a confused moment, and whether they instinctively narrate before they assist. Skill we can teach. Kindness, presence, and humility we cannot — so we hire for those, every time.
How we train
Trained for dementia, paid for every hour of it.
Before a new caregiver works a single shift, they complete EverCare's certified memory care curriculum — covering Alzheimer's, vascular dementia, Lewy body, and frontotemporal dementia. The training includes validation therapy, calm redirection, sundowning protocols, dignified bathing techniques, fall prevention, infection control, safe transfers, and how to recognize the difference between a behavior and an undiagnosed medical change. Every hour is paid. We don't ask people to study dementia care on their own time and then judge them when they get it wrong on shift.
Training continues for as long as a caregiver wears our name. Quarterly in-services keep skills current, and care coordinators provide weekly case-specific coaching tailored to each client — because no two people with dementia are the same, and the textbook only takes you so far. New caregivers also shadow a senior caregiver for several visits before going solo, so the very first time they walk into a home alone, they already know the plan, the person, and the rhythm of the house.
How we support our caregivers
The reason they stay.
Caregivers leave most agencies because they are stretched too thin and supported too little. We've built EverCare to be the opposite. Caseloads are intentionally small, so each caregiver can truly know the people they care for. Backup is real — one specifically trained caregiver already familiar with each care plan, not a stranger pulled off a roster on a sick day. A senior care coordinator is on call 24/7 for clinical questions and family emergencies, so no caregiver ever has to make a hard call alone at three a.m.
For families reading this, that's the quiet reason caregivers stay — and it's why your loved one is far more likely to keep the same familiar face for the long haul.
