HomeWorks Recognized as “Employer of Choice” for Fifth Straight Year

UMC is proud to share that HomeWorks, our in-home care agency, has been awarded Activated Insights’ Annual Best of Home Care® – Employer of Choice Award for the fifth consecutive year. This honor recognizes home care providers that consistently excel in caregiver satisfaction, professional support, and workplace culture.

Based on direct survey feedback from employees, the award highlights HomeWorks’ unwavering commitment to ensuring its caregivers feel respected and empowered in the essential work they do every day.

“As we approach HomeWorks’ 10th anniversary later this year, receiving this recognition for the fifth year in a row is incredibly encouraging,” said Mark Lenhard, President & CEO of UMC. “It reflects the compassionate culture our HomeWorks team continues to shape—one built on trust, communication, and the shared mission of helping every client live an abundant life.”

“This award means so much because it stems directly from our caregivers—the heart of HomeWorks,” said Terra Tilden, Director of HomeWorks. “Their feedback tells us that they feel valued, supported, and heard—and that’s exactly the kind of workplace we strive to create.”

 HomeWorks caregivers provide a wide range of personalized services, including specialized dementia care, flexible hourly assistance, and 24/7 live-in care to fit each individual’s needs. From nutritious meals and light housekeeping to medication reminders and meaningful companionship, our Certified Home Health Aides and Companions deliver personalized support that brings comfort to clients and peace of mind to families.

 “This recognition is really about our caregivers and the incredible work they do every day,” said Anita Horn, Home Care Administrator, HomeWorks. “They provide top‑notch care for people with a wide range of needs, and we’re grateful for the high standard they bring to every client. We’ve welcomed many new caregivers who tell us they chose HomeWorks because they heard—from friends and co‑workers—that we’re a quality agency that truly looks out for both our teammates and our clients.”
