Alliance Homecare prides itself on the notion of caring for each client as if they were family. Solometo trademarked the “Grandma Rule” as a part of the Alliance Homecare mission. “We use my grandmother as the benchmark for quality of care,” he explains. “During our recruiting and hiring process for staffers, we think about our own grandparents. If we consider a candidate for a job here good enough to care for our grandparents, then they are good enough to care for our clients.” Each prospective caregiver goes through a rigorous three-round interview process to ensure that every candidate is thoroughly vetted and handselected to meet the needs of Alliance’s loyal client base. Sotometo’s Grandma Rule of hiring has in fact served the organization well: Alliance Homecare employs caregivers that rank in the top 20% of the field. In addition, Alliance pays from 40% to 100% more than other caregiving agencies in the area, which leads them to attract the industry’s finest. “The best people out there want to join our team because we make sure they have the resources and support they need to do their jobs well,” says Sotometo. Alliance Homecare’s reputation of excellence has made its way to some of New York City’s most prominent residents, including former Governor Hugh L. Carey. In a statement to Alliance Homecare, Carey’s family said, “Our priority was a high-quality nursing team; Alliance provided that and much more, including respect for our father’s dignity and quality of life; consistent communication with family members; effective coordination with doctors and other healthcare staff.” For more information on Alliance Homecare, visit www.alliancehomecare. com or call 877-687-7380.

Regardless of what stage of the process you are at, the team of professionals at Alliance Homecare is there to help, as if you are a part of their family.
