As business grows, Mahoning County senior in-home care service relocates
The administration team and caregivers at Cornerstone Caregiving are settling in to their new headquarters in Austintown after outgrowing their old space.
The Mahoning County-based senior in-home caregivers assist seniors with Alzheimer’s, dementia and provide continuous care throughout Youngstown, Warren and northeast Ohio.
Morgan Obrien is the director of operations for Cornerstone Caregiving in the Youngstown and Austintown region who has seen the business’ growth over the past three years.
“When I started, it was just me running the entire operation, from scheduling, recruiting, marketing and day to day operations,” she said. “I now have about eight to nine internal office managers, and we have several hundreds of caregivers and clients.”
Obrien said that’s what motivated the move from the old Youngstown location to 57 Westchester Drive in Austintown.
“We actually had outgrown the space we were in and just looking for a bigger area, something more convenient to our territory,” Obrien said.
In April, Obrien cut the ribbon at the new Austintown headquarters and were welcomed by Austintown officials, the Youngstown/Warren Regional Chamber and local representatives of the Disabled American Veterans.
“We’ve met with Robert Santos and a lot of local businesses,” Obrien said. “Everyone has just been really excited that we’ve come to the area. There’s a lot of companies like us in the area, this is what Austintown is known for, a strong community. They’ve definitely been pretty open about us coming in and and helping out the best they can.”
Caregivers are in high demand at Cornerstone to provide mobility assistance, in-home assistance, transportation, palliative care needs and respite care for family members across the region, according to Obrien.
“We constantly are taking on new clients; clients needs always are changing,” she said. “So we’re always needing caregivers that can meet those needs. As we grow and expand, we are always looking for more, and always looking to help in any way we can.”
Obrien said her staff works with new caregivers to find accommodating schedules that would work best for them and the clients.
“We try to find what is most compatible with their schedule and what their skill set is,” she said. “That’s how we determine like the client-caregiver match by filling out a questionnaire for us, and that determines who they get and where they go. But it’s flexible.”
Interested applicants can go online to learn more about the job and find out how the process works for in-home care or call (330) 574-8434.
“We have people that just work weekends, or just during the day; we try to be flexible because we have a lot of single moms and people that, you know, have large families that need to hustle and do what they can to support them. So we try to be as accommodating as possible.”
Currently, there are 150 Cornerstone Caregiving locations in the U.S.
