A Helping Hand at Home

When you need a little help around the house.

***The ADRC does NOT recommend any of these individuals over another*** This list includes individuals who are willing to provide help with indoor chores, outdoor chores, and

respite care. Criminal background checks from the Department of Justice website are conducted and

workers are interviewed by the Helping Hand Coordinator. Civil cases are not screened. You may check

civil cases on the Wisconsin Circuit Courts website: https://wcca.wicourts.gov/index.xsl as the ADRC does

not examine civil cases – just criminal. The workers included on the “A Helping Hand at Home” list are

NOT employed NOR supervised by the ADRC.

How to Hire a Worker – some things to keep in mind as you decide who to hire as a ‘helping hand’

1) Trust your instincts! Remember that this person will be coming into your home and you should never feel unsafe.

2) Make a list. Develop a list of exactly what jobs you want and an idea of how much you are willing to pay the

individual.

3) Start with a telephone interview. Describe the jobs you have in mind and be clear about your expectations. Ask

about hours and wages. Also, ask if there will be any extra costs (like mileage or gas). Ask them about their previous

job experiences. During the call, do NOT give too much personal information – like your last name or address.

a. If you don’t think the individual is a good fit for you, it is NOT necessary to schedule a face-to-face interview.

b. If you are unable to get in contact with somebody on the list, please call the ADRC and let us know who you

cannot get ahold of – we will do our best to determine why they cannot be reached.

4) Schedule a time to interview. It can be a good idea to have someone with you (like a neighbor or family member)

with you during the interview. They will make you feel more comfortable and will be able to give you their

perspective.

5) The Interview. Before the interview, make a list of questions. The next page has sample questions:
