Staff qualities and characteristics:


Our staff members possess a genuine desire to help people. We focus on essential qualities such as patience, understanding and dependability.

Training and Orientation:

Each caregiver will possess the skills necessary to meet the client’s request. A home assessment is performed for each client prior to the beginning of service. This consultation is done by a registered nurse and is designed to identify the specific needs of the client.

Upon completion of the assessment, a personalized plan of care is developed, and a caregiver is selected and trained to meet the specific needs of the client. Our ongoing client satisfaction program helps ensure that each caregiver meets and exceeds the client’s expectations.

All caregivers are employees of Tele-Bridge Medical. No independent contractors are used. All staff are covered by Worker’s Compensation Insurance, Liability Bond and all required taxes are withheld and paid by Tele-Bridge Medical.
