About Us
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide professional and paraprofessional services to consumers in their homes assisting them to achieve the highest level of potential in their day-to-day self-care activities. We are committed to providing high quality multidisciplinary care by professionals who recognize the value of conducting a comprehensive assessment of needs from both the consumer and professional’s point of view.
Our Approach
We do our best to ensure that you can maintain your safety and independence by providing caring, compassionate, professional home health care services that respect your wishes and rights as a client. We endeavor to help you achieve your maximum level of health and well-being. While our team members assist with tasks such as personal care, housekeeping, and meal preparation, they are so much more than employees. They are companions, trusted friends, and caregivers that truly care about you. Whether they are helping clean your house, accompanying you to your appointments, or cooking a meal, they do so with a warm and friendly demeanor. That is what sets us apart from the competition.
Where We Started
Authentic Home Care was established over ten years ago when founder Abdirashid Sayid set out to connect those in the Somali community to necessary home health resources. A native of Somalia, Abdirashid worked in the home health industry providing services to his child. Through this experience, he found that, due to language barriers, home health resources were not easily accessible to other families in need of services. Abdirashid started Authentic Home Care to provide those resources to his community. Since then, the agency has grown to work with a wide and diverse population.
Our Team
We care about ensuring that all of our team members are capable and qualified. To ensure the safety of our valued clients, all caregivers receive continued education in areas such as infection control, confidentiality, safety management, and emergency preparedness. Caregivers must demonstrate an understanding of all of these areas prior to rendering services to clients and their competence is regularly monitored with a focus on maintenance of skills and professional growth.
In addition to assisting clients with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), our multidisciplinary team offers services such as comprehensive assessments, education for consumers on their medical management, providing wound care, administering medication, connecting consumers to outpatient therapies, and so much more.
