The ultimate checklist for selecting an in-home care provider

As families continue to navigate the global pandemic and feel the need to keep elderly loved ones as safe as possible, it’s becoming crucial for a lot of people to begin looking into in-home care. Not all in-home care providers are equal; Senior Helpers, industry leader in the in-home care space for nearly two decades, is here to help you find the right provider for your senior loved ones.

When selecting an in-home care provider, Peter Ross, CEO of Senior Helpers recommends asking a couple of key questions before hiring someone. Some of them include:

– Does the in-home care provider offer the opportunity for COVID-19 testing for its caregivers/staff?
– Do they provide PPE for its staff?
– Does your provider offer telehealth appointments?
– Do they have a mechanism for measuring your senior loved ones autonomy? What tools do they use?
– How accessible is your senior loved one’s home? Your home?

Family caregivers cannot do all things all the time. Recognizing when you need outside help is good for you, and for your loved one, too. More and more, seniors and their families are recognizing the benefits of hiring caregivers, to help stay in their homes longer, in comfort and safety, and to give families peace of mind.
