Payroll Department:
Our Payroll Department reviews all service authorizations and completes our payroll processes. This Department is managed by our Finance Manager, Casey Lord. Casey manages our Payroll Coordinators who review and audit all daily electronic timekeeping functions, coordinate all payroll requirements and review all service authorizations. Our Payroll Coordinators are assigned Client caseloads by Client Last Name, and along with Casey, are available to answer any fiscal payroll questions you may have.
Human Resources and Training Departments:
Our Human Resources Department is managed by TJ Lord and consists of a team of six highly capable and energetic staff members. Typically, our Human Resource staff members do not interact with Case Resource Managers; however, this resourceful team, each of whom previously served as a Direct Care Supervisor, solves many immediate caregiver placement issues on a daily basis and may be able to resolve an immediate need you may have. Additionally, in the event you would like to refer a Caregiver Candidate to us, please contact our Human Resources Department and we'll begin the process of finding employment for them.
Our Training Department is managed by our Training Director, Edward Alhart. At First Choice In-Home Care, we recognize the daily challenges faced by families and truly understand the critical importance of having a trusted and qualified caregiver to provide the assistance they need. To accomplish our goal of providing exceptional care, we have created an on-site, state-of-the-art Caregiver Training Center to provide our caregivers with the training they need to ensure the health, wellness and safety of those we serve. All of our Nursing Assistants and Home Care Aides are competency tested and credentialed by the Department of Health.
