Why We Care
"In choosing Best Home Care I feel I have not only selected an agency with wonderful, patient, and caring human beings to help care for my grandmother, I also feel I have selected an amazing support system.
All have contributed to making this difficult period so much better and the quality of life for my grandmother (and myself and mother) so much better."

What is the difference between a home care agency, a registry, and an independent employee?
Registry
A registry is an employment agency that, for a fee (usually a percentage of what you pay the caregiver), will refer and place personnel in your home. When you hire someone from a registry, you become the employer and assume full responsibility and liability for that nurse or caregiver.
Home Care Agency
Best Home Care is a medical home health care agency. Our employees are licensed, bonded and insured by state and federal laws. All of our employees receive orientation and instruction about the quality of service that we expect each caregiver to provide to our clients. We are the employer and you do not assume any liability for that employee. We provide a plan of care and supervise each of of our employees while in your home.
Independent consultant
An independent consultant is a person that you interview, hire, and train to provide the health care services that you determine to be necessary. You become the employer and assume all liability for accidents that may happen in your home.

Emmanuel (Manny) Byarugaba
CNA
Hi, I am Emmanuel Byarugaba, a certified nursing assistant with 12 years of experience in this field, which I am very much proud of. I love caring for people, especially the elderly, and giving them the best quality and excellent care that they deserve. I love promoting and giving them their independence back because it means everything to them.
When I am not working, I love going out for dinners, going to the gym, the movies, and taking long walks. Since I became a certified nursing assistant, I realized it's the most rewarding career because you touch so many lives with love and care. That is the best feeling in the world - knowing that you make such a difference in their lives each day. Thanks so much and God bless.

Tracy Moore
CNA
I've been doing this work for over 15 years and I love it! Nothing is more rewarding than walking into a client's house and they light up when seeing you!
When I'm not working, I'm at home enjoying my family and animals and gardening in my backyard.
The best compliment I've gotten was my client saying there's no one else she'd rather be quarantined with than me!
I'm proud everyday. I'm proud of myself and the work I do because I know I make a difference in someone's life.
