We strive to hire excellent Certified Nursing Assistants and Home Health Aides who are passionate, caring, and engaged. We also require at least three years of experience.

Ann’s hard work in building the GRC has allowed thousands of seniors to be cared for at home, which has in return given them quality of life in their cherished surroundings, rather than an unfamiliar environment. For Ann’s 80th birthday, the aides at GRC threw her a surprise party to show her the same love and affection that she has shown them throughout her years in practice.
