01Where the work happens
Rittenhouse Home Care is an on-site workplace.
Our caregivers deliver care in person — in clients' homes and independent-living residences across Rittenhouse Square, Center City, the Main Line, and the greater Philadelphia metro. Assignments are matched by skills, schedule, and neighborhood to keep commutes shorter and caregiver–client continuity strong.
Scheduling, intake, and coordination are handled by the owner. Because home care is hands-on and relational, caregiving roles are not remote.
02How we employ our caregivers
Every Rittenhouse caregiver is a W-2 employee — not an independent contractor. We hire, train, insure, supervise, and stand behind the people who enter our clients' homes.
- $19 an hour to start, paid weekly every Friday by direct deposit
- Paid training, and paid continuing education every year
- Consistent client matching, and a direct line to the owner when something comes up on a shift
- Workers' compensation coverage and full liability insurance carried by the Agency
03Safety, screening & training
Our standards protect both our clients and our caregivers. Before any caregiver is assigned, and throughout employment, we maintain the safeguards required of a Pennsylvania-licensed Home Care Agency under 28 Pa. Code Chapter 611.
Vetted before day one
Criminal-history background checks, FBI clearances where applicable, reference verification, and exclusion-list screening for every hire.
Competency, then care
Caregivers demonstrate competency per § 611.55 — confidentiality, infection control, emergencies, abuse recognition, ADL/IADL skills — before assignment, with ongoing education after.
Never working alone
Caregivers work from a written care plan that a registered nurse is available to review. They are supervised and supported, and reach the owner directly when something comes up on a shift.
04Equal opportunity employer
Rittenhouse Home Care is an Equal Opportunity Employer. All employment decisions — including recruitment, hiring, compensation, assignment, scheduling, promotion, training, discipline, and termination — are made on the basis of qualifications, performance, and business need, without regard to any characteristic protected by federal, state, or local law.
05Accommodation, respect & reporting
We provide reasonable accommodations to qualified employees and applicants with disabilities, consistent with the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act, through an interactive, individualized process. We prohibit harassment of any kind and we do not tolerate retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith.
Raising a concern
Employees, applicants, and consumers may report any concern to the Administrator, who investigates promptly and confidentially. Individuals also have the right to contact the PA Department of Health, Office of Equal Opportunity (717-787-1127) and/or the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission (717-787-4410).
Caregivers aren't staff to us — they're the standard. If that's the kind of firm you want to work with, we'd love to meet you.
