How to choose the right caregiver

You need to be clear on what you need – medical support, daily chores in the home, cooking, or simply just personal care for you or your loved one. Take time to interview the Caregiver – a good interview should be for a t least 30 minutes:

  • Try to understand about their background.  What similar roles have they done before?
  • What are their likes and dislikes?
  • What types of hobbies and interests do they enjoy?
  • Check references. 
  • Will they fit in with your family?
  • Will they get on with you and your loved one?
  • Assess the qualities of the Caregiver
  • Are they strong but show empathy
  • Will they make you feel they are always there to help
  • Are they professional but friendly
  • Do they show concern about the quality of work they do
  • Are they flexible and able to adapt to change
  • Tell them what you are looking for and what your expectations are
  • Be open when talking to the care giver so there are no surprises. 
  • Interview more than one care giver to ensure you choose the right one
