At Safeway HHC, we deeply understand the crucial role played by home care workers, caregivers, and home health aides, especially our teams serving Roseville, St. Paul, Minneapolis, and the entire Twin Cities area, in aiding individuals who prefer living independently at home. These dedicated professionals are the backbone of our services, providing invaluable assistance despite often facing challenges like being underpaid and overworked. In an expanding industry, we are committed to redirecting our focus towards nurturing and supporting those who devote themselves to caring for others.
The Realities for Home Care Workers
Many home care workers, just like Angelica Rios, a 25-year-old single mom and home health aide, struggle to make ends meet. Earning $12.50 an hour, Angelica represents the many who find their jobs physically and emotionally draining. With limited time off and scarce growth opportunities, the high turnover rate in this field isn’t surprising. Home care workers deserve better.
Our Agency's Pledge to Support Home Care Workers
-
- Transparency: At Safeway HHC, clear and direct communication is a standard we uphold for our teams, whether they are in Roseville, St. Paul, Minneapolis, or anywhere in the Twin Cities area. We consistently inform our staff about their rights, wages, work hours, and any updates affecting their roles, ensuring every member, in every location, is equally well-informed and empowered in their work.
- Advocacy: We actively support initiatives aimed at improving working conditions and compensation. By advocating for fair wages, benefits, and labor protections, we strive to create a better work environment for our employees.
- Opportunities for Growth: Our agency offers training and development programs to help our employees grow in their careers. By providing opportunities for personal and professional growth, we hope to increase job satisfaction and reduce turnover rates.
- Work-Life Balance: We understand that our employees have lives outside of work and strive to accommodate their needs by offering flexible scheduling and time off when needed. This helps ensure that our employees can maintain a healthy work-life balance, which ultimately benefits both the employee and the clients they serve.
- Recognition And Appreciation (Future Plan): As part of our commitment to supporting and empowering our caregivers, we are actively planning to implement annual recognition programs and appreciation events.
Creating a Positive Work Environment:
A supportive atmosphere is key at Safeway HHC. We acknowledge the challenges of caregiving and provide resources to help our team manage stress and avoid burnout. This commitment ensures our clients receive top-quality care.
Our Vision for a Better Home Care Industry
