Caregiver Careers
Our Caregiver Requirements
“We had two primary objectives when we started SEI Healthcare…first, to provide better service than any other company in this business, and second, to ensure that our Caregivers are trained, experienced, and meticulously pre-screened. The success of SEI Healthcare can be attributed to hiring and retaining the best Caregivers in the field of non-medical home care.”

Compassionate Caregivers
SEI Healthcare’s Caregivers are trained in the common diseases of today’s seniors…Congestive Heart Failure, Chronic Pulmonary Disease, Alzheimer’s, Dementia. The care they provide our seniors is put into perspective on a personal level when they are asked to place themselves in the shoes of someone who needs assistance getting in/out of a shower, to be reminded to eat or take their medications, or to be aware of their continence needs. They perform their duties from the perspective of COMPASSION and DIGNITY.
