I started protection Plus Solutions when my mother needed help after she had taken a nasty fall in 2009. Mother has diabetes and neuropathy in her feet, she had taken her Shitzu’s the dog park in San Francisco at 11am on a Sunday, and I got a call at midnight from Kaiser telling me that she was still unconscious! Three weeks later and lots of physical therapy she was ready to go home.
Home for her was compromising 12 stairs to get to her front door and she needed constant care for at least six months or longer. Mother of course insisted that she only needed someone a few hours at a time, and also insisted that we hire someone that she got to interview. So, my sister and I put out a placement ad describing her needs in the SF Chronicle and on Craigslist. We had five really great applicants and one gentleman in particular stood out. His resume was incredible and had phone numbers to back up his already outstanding credentials.
But as the old saying goes if something looks too good it probably isn't. Well, thank heavens I ran a background check. This man had recently been released from state prison in Texas for elder abuse against his own mother, and to make matters worse had a large restitution order for embezzlement against her! I contacted the state parole board in Texas and also the San Francisco police department to report my findings.
But, what could have happened if I hadn’t run a background check? Would my mother have been his next victim? Long story short this is one of the reasons why I decided to start my own background screening company tailored around the In Home Care Service providers. Be it and Elder Care Provider, Nanny, Handyman to Door to Door Salesman, homeowners need to know who is coming into their home.
Protection Plus Solutions specializes in offering a great deal more than quality background screening. We provide a unique ID Badge that is issued only when a candidate successfully passes the background check.
The ID Badge can be customized to specific employment requirements, but typically it will have the Care Provider’s picture, your company name, company logo, date of the background check and the disclosure that the Background is automatically re-checked monthly with Protection Plus Solutions CrimSPY feature.
Unlike other background screening companies that only do a search once per year, our monthly CrimSPY feature automatically runs each Care Provider every month with no additional cost to your company. If criminal activity occurs, the badge clearance is canceled and the local franchises, as well as your corporate headquarters, are immediately notified. A FAILED symbol is also placed by their badge on our status verification website which is accessible to the
Family or Senior.
This new and innovative level of security allows the Family or Senior to SEE the real-time background status by going into our website 24/7 and entering the serial number from the badge, or by calling our 1-800 number during normal business hours PST. For further information I welcome you to visit our website at www.protectionplussolutions.com
CrimSPY also provides for the important tracking of the Care Provider. If they quit or are released for any reason from one franchise location and apply for a position with any of your other franchise locations, you are alerted that this is duplication. Even if no criminal activity has occurred, this will allow the opportunity for your own internal investigation as to any possible work performance or other issues in previous franchise locations.
This premiere background security system will greatly enhance any In Home Care Provider’s mission to find good Care Providers who are legitimate and well qualified to perform "In Home Care Services” as well as reduce your company’s liability exposure, provide the utmost level of protection, and will afford security and peace of mind for the Families and Seniors for whom you provide service.
Our Corporate Development Manager, Karissa Martin, and I would welcome an opportunity to provide you and your staff with an online visual tutorial of our products and what is available to provide the highest level of security for your Seniors.
You may already be using a background screening company, but I am certain that once you see our products, what they can do for the security of the Seniors you service, and our competitive pricing, you will want to change. We can also tailor our products to fit the needs of your own background screening requirements.
