What primary services do caregivers offer?
OC Homecare's team of caregivers offer a wide array of non-medical services that provide assistance to those in need to complete activities of daily living in the comfort of their own home.
How do I apply as a caregiver?
You may set-an appointment, walk-in, or fill out our online application form. You may contact our Frontdesk at (949) 670-6250, send an email to ochomecareservices@gmail.com, or use the Contact Us page. We will reach out to you for a preliminary phone screening and set you up for an in-person appointment to start the application process.
Do you provide benefits for caregivers?
Should you satisfy certain eligibility requirements, you'll have the option to apply for medical, dental, vision, and life benefits when you fill out your paperwork. Depending on your schedule with a client, you may also be eligible for overtime rates.
Do you have trainings for caregivers?
When you are through with the screening, interviews, and requirements, you will be scheduled for an Orientation before you get your first schedule with a client. You will also be scheduled for an Annual Refresher Training to catch you up with the updates and trends in the caregiving world.
Am I required to submit vaccination records?
Vaccination records are not a requirement, but you may submit these records. It is also advisable to ensure that your vaccinations are updated to protect your own health and the people surrounding you.
Do I have to own a vehicle?
You do not have to own a vehicle to be a caregiver. Do note though that you will have to find a way to travel from your home to the site of your scheduled client.
How do I get a Home Care Aide (HCA) ID?
A Home Care Aide (HCA) ID is state-recognized ID for trained caregivers. You can acquire this by registering through the California Department of Social Services or OC Homecare can assist you in acquiring this. Supporting documents that need to be uploaded include any state-issued ID and your livescan/finger print results.
Is the First Aid/CPR certificate required?
Administering First Aid and CPR are skills demanded by your role as a caregiver in emergency situations. It is important that you know how to execute this whenever it is needed. Having undergone First Aid and CPR training and possessing a certificate/card is your proof that you have the skills to perform such emergency procedures. First Aid/CPR certificates provide you a unique ID number that is registered and can be verified through the National CPR Foundation. The certificate is valid for 2 years and needs to be renewed after expiration.
Where do I get a First Aid/CPR certificate?
There are numerous resources that offer in-class and online trainings and certificate renewals. You may choose any of them depending on your schedule, budget, and previous training. Be sure, though, that the classes and assessments that you signed up for are legitimate and provide a certificate that provides a unique ID number to you.
Where do I get a livescan?
A livescan or a finger print scan is a procedure where a California Department of Social Services-accredited agency get your finger prints digitally scanned and sent to the Department of Justice and FBI for background check. OC Homecare will provide you the nearest agency that can do this for you.
Does the livescan/finger print automatically give me an Home Care Aid (HCA) ID?
The livescan or finger print scan just generates a digital scan of your finger prints to be sent to the Department of Justice and FBI for background check. It does not automatically register you an Home Care Aid (HCA) ID. The latter is applied for you by the agency.
I think I've had a livescan before. Is that still valid?
If you've had a livescan/finger print scan before, you can bring the results that the Department of Social Services sent to you by mail. We can also check if it is still valid online.
