How Do I Find A Reliable Home Care Agency?
  • There comes a time when our parents, or old
    folks, may start facing a lot of concerns like
    disabilities or diseases and terminal illnesses
    in the latter part of their lives. And while you,
    as family members, are the primary caretakers for
    your elderly parents. It often becomes a
    challenge to balance caregiving for your family,
    life, and career. You may find yourself being
    torn apart between your own needs and those
    you're caring for.

Tips For Finding Reliable Home Care Services
  • When choosing an in-home caregiver or home
    healthcare agency, you may be overwhelmed by the
    numerous choices available. You may find yourself
    asking, "Which one should I choose?" So to save
    you the struggle of shortlisting your options.
    Let's narrow it down by knowing these tips on how
    to find a reliable provider
  • Assess Your Loved One's Needs
  • Ask For Recommendations
  • Ask For Their Credentials And Training
  • Have A Trial Period With The Healthcare Provider

3
Assess Your Loved One's Needs
  • Before you call an in-home care service agency,
    ensure you understand your loved one's needs.
    Assess if they're self-sufficient and just need
    assistance with light in-home care. Or do they
    need more unified attention and care?
  • Moreover, if your loved ones have a medical
    disorder, such as Alzheimer's or arthritis, you
    may need a caregiver who has experience working
    with people with these diseases.
  • In general, caregivers assist in the following
    activities
  • Cooking Meals
  • Personal hygiene (bathing and showering)
  • Safety supervision
  • Medication reminder
  • Walking and Mobility

4
Ask For Recommendations
  • After assessing your needs, the next step is to
    get recommendations from trusted medical
    professionals or people you trust. Reliable
    people, including family, friends, neighbors, and
    co-workers, will usually be happy to give you the
    name of a healthcare agency that proved to be
    super helpful to them.
  • Suppose you don't know anyone who has previously
    hired these services. In that case, you can
    always check the customer reviews and ratings to
    learn about others' experiences with specific
    companies in your area, making your selection
    process much easier.

5
Ask For Their Credentials And Training
  • Just like you wouldn't go to a doctor without
    proper training. So why would you trust an
    untrained caregiver with your loved ones?
  • When choosing an in-home care provider, check if
    they're properly licensed by the Department of
    Health in your state and are equipped with the
    right skills and training to handle healthcare
    needs.
  • It is advisable to go for a home care
    provider that ensures their staff members undergo
    a thorough vetting process involving background
    checks, training, and screening before hiring.
    This helps maximize the quality of life and
    functionality of your loved one.

6
Have A Trial Period With The Healthcare Provider
  • Once you narrow down your options of in-home care
    providers, consider taking a trial period. This
    will help you determine whether they're a good
    fit for your loved one. Check in with your loved
    ones routinely to see how they're doing and if
    they're satisfied with their services. 
  • Once the trial period ends, you can make any
    necessary changes or hire the individual
    permanently.
