Employee Handbook

It is our privilege to welcome you to Garbutt Care Coordinators, LLC dba Home Helpers and Direct Link of East Tampa. We are providing exceptional service in our community and are recognized as a highly respected home care company.

Our business is people, both clients and our home care staff. As in any company, we have people who issue orders and people who execute orders, both equally important. But the “real bosses” are our clients. We must please them to stay in business. We are counting on you to make a good impression on our clients - good grooming habits, clean clothing, good manners, and courteous language show respect to our clients and create a positive, professional image of our Company, both to our clients and the public at large.

In order to function effectively, we must have solid policies and rules of conduct designed to assure the well-being of all, to be consistent in our actions and to provide fair and impartial treatment for everyone. These rules and policies are not the basis for any contractual obligation between the employees and GCC. GCC reserves the right to modify, add, or rescind any contents as required.

Our growth and reputation depend on you and the care you provide. We strive to assure that you, our home care staff, have the ability and knowledge to give our clients the best care available. If you ever have questions, or need supervisory assistance, please call the office.

Sincerely,

Ursella Slusher, Executive Director And Juanita Garbutt, Owner and President
