How We Select Senior Care Providers in Athens

It goes without saying that your main priority is to select a senior care provider who possesses the unique qualifications to meet your loved one’s specific care requirements. That’s why at Visiting Angels Athens, we aim to hire caregivers who have experience working in senior care or who have received specific certifications. This allows us to have a talented team of care providers on hand who can support our clients’ individual needs.

Before making a new hire to our talented team in Athens, we undergo in-depth interviews with each potential caregiver. In addition, we request references from a variety of reliable sources, such as former workplaces or clients, training or certification programs, or related organizations. This comprehensive screening process helps us judge whether the candidate will be a good addition to our team of senior care providers.

At Visiting Angels Athens, we make an effort to match each of our clients with the specific caregiver who suits their individual scheduling requirements, care needs, lifestyle preferences, and personality. Our extensive knowledge of the traits of our senior care providers helps us make the right choice during this matching process, ensuring that your loved one’s caregiver has the specific skills and qualifications needed. This means that if your loved one requires help with personal care, we’ll select a caregiver who has the knowledge and ability to offer support for hygiene activities. We only choose unskilled caregivers when companionship and homemaking activities are the care recipient’s priority.
