Azucena's Primary Home Care
Every person who enters your home goes through a rigorous verification process. No exceptions.
Every caregiver undergoes a fingerprint-based criminal history check through the Texas Department of Public Safety via IdentoGO. Required under Texas Health & Safety Code Chapter 250.
We check the HHS Employee Misconduct Registry to ensure no caregiver has been disqualified for abuse, neglect, or exploitation of vulnerable clients.
We verify the Texas Nurse Aide Registry to confirm no findings of abuse or neglect.
We screen against the OIG exclusion list and SAM.gov to confirm the caregiver can participate in federal programs including Medicaid.
We verify work eligibility, contact two professional references, and conduct a competency evaluation covering CPR/first aid, infection control, HIPAA, EVV system training (HHAeXchange), and dementia care basics.
Screening doesn't stop at hire. Texas regulations require ongoing EMR and NAR monitoring — not just pre-employment checks. We actively monitor all our staff.
All our caregivers are W-2 employees — not 1099 contractors. We handle payroll, taxes, unemployment insurance, and workers' comp. You don't become the employer.
Our entire screening process is designed to meet and exceed Texas state requirements for HCSSA Personal Assistance Services agencies.
