And I shall deliver you into the hands of strangers

The unit for locating, screening and employing foreign caregivers

When functioning declines, and a family member needs round-the-clock supervision and assistance, we call on the help of the foreign caregivers. At this point, you will have many questions: who do I go to, how do I obtain official authorization of entitlement, and how do I find a suitable worker; on top of this, you will have concerns such as: will we be able to depend on a stranger who comes into our home to take care of our parents? Will they get on together?

The special unit for locating, screening and employing foreign long-term caregivers is unique to Manpower Care and it will accompany you all along the way, attending to the bureaucratic and administrative procedures involved in such employment, finding the most suitable worker, and overseeing the adjustment process and the actual care itself.

As a large company deployed nationwide, we can offer you the best suited caregivers, with exceptional availability, almost immediately as well as our expertise on all the related issues: personal, bureaucratic and legal. We are here to help you as your family copes with the changes, to support the caregivers, and to provide close and strict supervision for the entire period of the employment.
