High Quality Care
Providing high quality home care is just one of our missions at UNS, and it’s something we don’t take lightly. We provide top-notch care right in the comfort of your own home so your loved one can remain at ease. Our highly trained team will give you peace of mind that your loved one is receiving the same personalized care that they would have had with you.

To ensure that your loved one is in good hands, our team members must:

• Have a minimum of 1 year supervised professional experience
• Provide references from at least two medical professionals
• Pass an extensive background check by law enforcement agencies
• Pass random drug screenings,
• Speak, read, and write fluently in English
• Successfully complete orientation concerning agency policies, along with both verbal and written screenings, and hands-on competency testing.

In addition to providing your loved one with an experienced team member, we also try to focus on partnering the right caregiver with the right patient. That’s why we look for aides who are also compatible with your parent on a personal level. This way they can build a positive, long-lasting relationship together. It also makes certain that your loved one is comfortable and well-taken care of.

Our team is licensed and insured for your protection. (Insurance summary provided upon request.)
