Circle of Care is seeking to add to its caregiver referral list. Those interested in providing paid-in home care and have a certification as a Home Care Aide or Certified Nursing Assistant, please contact us so that we can refer clients in need.

At the moment, we are especially in need of male caregivers but are always seeking to enlarge our list of both male and female caregivers. Please call Circle of Care at 360/945-5070 and leave your name and phone number.
