Make sure the homecare agency you choose uses these four essential screening practices.
Ask questions to evaluate the caregiver's nurturing personality and sincere desire to help others.
Match the caregiver's experience with the client's needs. For example, if the client has Alzheimer's disease or dementia, the caregiver should have experience with a similar disorder.
Involve the family in the final caregiver selection to ensure there is a good personality match.
Continue to monitor caregiver performance through consistent telephone calls and in-home visits to verify satisfaction with the caregiver and the services provided.
