Understanding the Minimum Hours Requirement for Domesticate House Staff


 Domestic House, we prioritize providing consistent and high-quality care. To ensure this, our staff members are required to commit to a minimum of 4 hours per shift. 


Why 4 Hours? 

The 4-hour minimum is established based on several key reasons:


1. Quality of Care:

  Longer, consistent shifts allow staff to build rapport with families, understand their needs better, and deliver more personalized care.


2. Staff Efficiency:

  A minimum of 4 hours helps balance staff workload, preventing burnout while ensuring they have sufficient time to complete essential duties without rushing.


3. Operational Continuity:

  This duration ensures that staff can effectively manage all scheduled activities and respond to emergencies or urgent needs during their shift.


4. Compliance & Standards: 

  The policy aligns with industry standards and regulatory guidelines aimed at maintaining high-quality care environments.


We believe that setting a minimum shift length benefits both our staff and residents, fostering a stable, caring, and professional environment. Thank you for your understanding and commitment to excellence.
