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
