Hallmark Homecare of Northwest Milwaukee

Hallmark Homecare is a distinguished provider of in-home senior care services, dedicated to connecting families with experienced, independent caregivers. Our mission is to offer personalized, compassionate care that enables seniors to maintain their independence and quality of life within the comfort of their own homes. By adopting a direct-hire model, we empower families with greater control over their care arrangements while ensuring affordability and consistency.

Our Approach:

In response to evolving dynamics in the homecare industry, including caregiver shortages, rising costs, technological advancements, and increased regulation, Hallmark Homecare offers a modern solution that benefits both families and caregivers. Our direct-hire model provides several key advantages over traditional homecare agencies:

• Enhanced Control: Families have the autonomy to make decisions that best suit their unique needs, fostering a more tailored care experience.
• Consistency in Care: Stable caregiver-family relationships lead to improved satisfaction and better outcomes for seniors.
• Experienced Professionals: We connect clients with credentialed caregivers capable of meeting a wide range of needs, including 24/7 and live-in care arrangements.
• Caregiver Satisfaction: By offering higher wages and more stable schedules, caregivers experience increased job satisfaction, which translates to better care for clients.
• Affordability: Our model often results in cost savings for families without compromising the quality of care.

Our Services:

Hallmark Homecare specializes in matching clients with independent caregivers who provide a comprehensive array of non-medical services, including:

• Personal Care: Assistance with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, and grooming.
• Companionship: Engaging seniors in meaningful activities and conversations to promote mental and emotional well-being.
• Meal Preparation: Planning and preparing nutritious meals that align with dietary needs and preferences.
• Light Housekeeping: Maintaining a clean and safe living environment through tasks like cleaning, laundry, and organizing.
• Medication Reminders: Ensuring medications are taken as prescribed to manage health conditions effectively.
• Transportation: Assisting with errands, medical appointments, and social engagements to keep seniors connected to their communities.

Safety and Vetting Process:

Ensuring the safety and well-being of our clients is paramount. Every caregiver undergoes a rigorous screening process that includes:

• Criminal Background Checks: Comprehensive screenings to verify the absence of criminal history.
• Employment Verification: Confirmation of work history and professional references to validate experience and reliability.
• Credential Verification: Assessment of certifications and qualifications to ensure caregivers meet our high standards.
• Liability Insurance: All placements are covered with liability insurance and occupational accident insurance for added peace of mind.

Our Story:

The Northwest Milwaukee office of Hallmark Homecare is led by Jessica and Kevin Darczuk, whose personal experiences have deeply influenced their commitment to senior care. Jessica's father, Domingo, immigrated to the United States in the 1970s, and his dedication to family left a lasting impression on her. Witnessing her father's efforts to care for his aging mother during family visits to Argentina instilled in Jessica a profound respect for the elderly.

At the age of 15, Jessica faced the challenge of becoming a primary caregiver for her parents. Her father survived a severe accident, and her mother was battling breast cancer simultaneously. These experiences underscored the importance of providing quality care and support for loved ones at home. Jessica and Kevin's dedication to ensuring her father's comfort during his battle with stomach cancer, which ultimately claimed his life in 2018, further solidified their commitment to compassionate caregiving.

In honor of Domingo and Elena, Jessica's mother who is now 75 and aging gracefully in the Sunshine State, Jessica and Kevin dedicate their efforts at Hallmark Homecare to be a valuable resource within their community, helping aging adults—the generation that raised their generation—live their best lives.
