Professionals we place

Caregivers & CNAs

Certified CNAs and caregivers

In short

Our caregivers are certified nursing assistants (CNAs), Maryland-certified geriatric nursing assistants (GNAs) or have completed a comprehensive caregiver training program, and every one is background-checked before placement. CNAs and GNAs provide hands-on patient care — bathing, dressing, grooming, mobility assistance, feeding and toileting — under the supervision of nursing staff, along with clinical-support tasks like vital signs monitoring, range of motion exercises and infection control practices. We place into hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living communities and home health settings, wherever a facility or a family needs reliable, day-to-day support.

What’s included

  • Activities of daily living: bathing, dressing, grooming, mobility assistance and transfers
  • Feeding and nutritional support, toileting and incontinence care
  • Clinical-support tasks under nursing supervision: vital signs monitoring, range of motion exercises, specimen collection and documentation
  • Companionship, meal preparation, light housekeeping and medication reminders
  • Transportation and errands, personal hygiene assistance and safety monitoring
  • Placement into hospitals (med-surg, telemetry and specialty units), nursing homes, assisted living communities and home health
  • Background-checked CNAs, Maryland GNAs and trained caregivers

What we can’t do — and why

  • CNAs and caregivers work under the supervision of nursing staff and do not administer medication — that is a nursing task
  • Caregiver placements cover CNAs, GNAs and trained caregivers; RN and LPN clinical staffing is placed separately as nursing staff

Who it’s for

Who asks us for Caregivers & CNAs

  • A nursing home or assisted living community needing daily hands-on care covered
  • A hospital unit that needs support with ADLs alongside its nursing staff
  • A home health setting where a family or agency needs reliable, in-home support
  • A facility that needs consistent coverage, not a different face every shift

Questions

What administrators ask us first

The questions that come up on almost every call about Caregivers & CNAs.

What is the difference between a CNA, a GNA and a caregiver?

All our staff are certified nursing assistants or have completed a comprehensive caregiver training program. CNAs are state-certified and provide hands-on care under the supervision of nursing staff. A GNA is Maryland’s geriatric specialization on top of the CNA certification, for work with older adults — we place both.

What kind of care do your caregivers provide?

Activities of daily living — bathing, dressing, grooming, mobility, toileting and feeding — plus clinical-support tasks like vital signs monitoring, done under nursing supervision.

What settings do you place caregivers into?

Hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living communities and home health settings.

Are caregivers background-checked?

Yes. Background checks are part of our standards for every caregiver we place.
