Local Senior Care
Company Selected by AARP for its Commitment to Older Workers
Home Instead
Senior Care To join AARP’s
National Employer Team
Home Instead Senior Care, a local company serving Burbank, Glendale and the
Foothill areas, has been selected to join the AARP’s National Employer Team
(NET) – a network of employers who value the experience and skills of the 50+
worker. The NET program connects workers 50 and older with employment
opportunities at companies that now include Home Instead Senior Care, an
international non-medical care giving company with more than 800 offices
worldwide including the local franchise.
To join this elite team, employers must undertake a detailed application
process to demonstrate their interest in hiring mature workers. AARP’s Web
site (www.aarp.org/employerteam)
provides information on the employers and the positions they have posted on
their Web sites, along with links to each employer’s AARP career page.
"We have always valued the mature worker and are thrilled to be a part
of this program," said Gary Reid, owner of Home Instead Senior Care in
Burbank. "We are proud to be an employer that recognizes the many
contributions mature workers bring to the workforce."
Home Instead Senior Care strives to keep seniors independent. Its caregivers
provide non-medical care and companionship to seniors, including
companionship, meal preparation, medication reminders, light housekeeping
and escort for errands and shopping. All caregivers are screened, trained,
bonded, insured and have successfully passed thorough criminal background
checks.
"Our National Employer Team members recognize the changes occurring in
the labor force and value the diverse experiences that baby boomers can
bring to employers facing shortages," said Deborah Russell, AARP’s
Director of Workforce Issues. "AARP’s NET members come from fields
ranging from retail to travel to security and hold positions like tax
examiner for the Internal Revenue Service and country director for the Peace
Corps."
Others recently named to the NET are the IRS, the U.S. Small Business
Administration, the Peace Corps, Scripps Health, Bright Horizons Family
Solutions, Synergy HomeCare, AnswerNet and Vedior North America.
