The health care plan will cover preventative health services, such as shots and screening tests, at no cost to the home care worker. This marks the first time in the home care agency’s history that it will offer health benefits to its home care professionals at no charge.

“These new employee benefits are just one more way we’re working to make Best Home Care a quality place to work,” said Andre Best, owner of Best Home Care. “We want each of our home care workers to know that Best Home Care has their welfare in mind and these benefits are our response.”
