One step of our new client assessment / intake process involves asking whether the client and the client's family have a preference regarding caregiver gender. For many clients and their families, the gender of the caregiver is not as important as the competency and reliability of the caregiver. However, by a small margin the majority of our clients and their families express a preference for caregivers of the same gender as that of the client. Even though we are an equal opportunity employer, Federal and state labor laws allow us to respect the client's wishes in this regard when the client's needs include assistance with bathing, toileting or incontinence care.
