Family Care Readiness™

Safety works both ways.

Every caregiver is carefully screened.
Every new family is verified.
Because creating safer care starts with knowing and preparing both sides of the relationship.

Every caregiver
is screened.
Every new family
is verified.
Every first visit
is prepared.

Because our caregivers are someone’s family, too.

Caregivers enter your home and care for your children. We believe they deserve the same consideration in return.

For Caregivers: Knowing we’ve taken steps to understand where they’re going helps them feel safer and more confident on every visit.

For Families: Better information helps us match the right caregiver, prepare for your unique needs, and provide more thoughtful care from day one.

Safer for caregivers. Better for families.

WHAT IS FAMILY CARE READINESS?

Family Care Readiness is our standard process for preparing and verifying every new family before their first Star Harbor visit.

It takes just a few minutes to complete and must be finished before care can be scheduled.

Your information is secure

We use industry-standard security practices to protect your data. Your information is used only for the purpose of providing safe, high-quality care.
