Caregivers for Elderly in the USA

• When looking for home care assistance in the USA,
  finding a professional caregiver for your aging
  loved one might seem as easy as typing Home Care
  Assistance Near me online and hire the one that
  appears on the top. However, this straightforward
  approach is not safe.
• In-home caregiving services for the elderly are
  complex as they range from assisting with a few
  things to helping with almost everything. So, we
  are sharing this guide to help you hire the right
  caregiver for the elderly in your family.

Enlist the Caregiving Needs of the Elderly

• The process of hiring reliable home care
  assistance starts with assessing the caregiving
  needs of the elderly. Categorize their caregiving
  needs in three groups
• Health care needs 1. What health conditions does
  the elderly suffer from?2.  Are their health
  conditions serious? If yes, are there chances
  that they might face a medical emergency?3. How
  often do they need to perform tests and see the
  doctor?
• Personal care needs 1. Does the elderly need
  help with grooming, such as hair styling and nail
  cutting?2. Does the elderly need assistance with
  bathing, brushing teeth, and hygiene?3. Does the
  elderly have mobility issues and need help with
  safely getting in or out of bed and around the
  home?
• Household care needs 1. Does the caregiver need
  to do light cleaning tasks?2. Is the caregiver
  required to do grocery and essentials shopping
  for the elderly?3. Does the elderly need
  assistance for the upkeep of the home?

Develop the Job Description and Contract for the
In-Home Caregiver You Need

• Once you are aware of what needs your aging loved
  one has, you can precisely prepare a job
  description and identify whether you need a
  caregiver who is a Certified Nurse Assistant,
  Licensed Practical Nurse, Registered Nurse, or
  someone who has basic experience of caregiving.
• Also, consider whether the caregiver may need to
  drive and provide help with getting in and out of
  the vehicle. While the former must have a valid
  drivers license, the latter should be strong
  enough to support and lift the elderly if and
  when necessary.

  for seniors?

  nurse?
• Have you received specialized training to provide
  proper senior care?
