Taking on the task of finding the perfect caregiver for your loved one can be quite overwhelming, and knowing what to ask of prospective agencies can cause unnecessary stress. Before beginning your search, you’ll want to spend some time gathering any information that you might want to share with the agency about your loved one. Some of those things might include: food preferences, need for dentures or hearing aids, allergies or when and how medication must be taken. Keep in mind that home care can also include meal preparation or light housekeeping, so don’t be afraid to ask specifically for the help that you need. Listed below, you’ll find a few questions to consider when beginning your search.
-
If required by your state, does the agency hold a current license?
-
What services are provided and how much do those services cost?
-
Should it become necessary, is assistance available for round the clock care?
-
How does the agency screen prospective employees?
-
How are the caregivers trained?
-
Who should be contacted if a conflict or question should arise?
You may know home care is care provided by professionals that allows your elderly or disabled loved one to receive the assistance they need while staying in their home; but there’s more to it than that. Providing home care means providing peace of mind. It means giving your loved one the opportunity to wake up in their bed every morning, drink coffee out of their favorite mug and eat breakfast at the same table they’ve eaten at for years. It means giving you, as their loved one, the opportunity to go back to work, run an errand or take a break so that you can resume your independent life as well. Home care means independence for everyone involved.
Your comfort and that of your loved one should be of the utmost importance to any agency that you choose to work with. Quality home care should be personalized to meet your needs while remaining flexible enough to adapt to any changes that may arise.
