Questions to Ask When Considering At Home Care
You have a loved one who needs more care than you can deliver. Now you and your family have made the difficult decision to bring in extra help. But with so many at home care agencies in and around the Mentor area, how can you choose the right one? Start by asking these questions.
What Services Does Your At Home Care Agency Provide?
At Visiting Angels Mentor, we believe in a personalized approach to every at home care client we serve. That means we take the time to meet with your loved one first to learn about their needs, habits, and schedule. We’ll even speak with their physicians to ensure that we’re providing your loved one with the right level of care.
Based on this input, we will then create a personalized care plan for your loved one that can include a variety of non-medical, at home services. Some areas we can help with include:
- Light housekeeping
- Grocery shopping and meal preparation
- Bathing, grooming, and dressing
- Medication reminders
- Transportation for errands and appointments
- Assistance walking and getting down stairs
At any time, your loved one’s at home care schedule can be easily updated or changed if needed. At Visiting Angels Mentor, we can be there for your loved one in the evenings, on weekends, and during the holidays, as well as on a part-time or full-time basis. We’re here for you and your family 24/7 – whenever you need us.
How Does Your At Home Care Agency Recruit Caregivers?
Visiting Angels Mentor understands that hiring a caregiver is a serious decision. That’s why we carefully recruit only the best professionals. Our interview process is a rigorous one that involves multiple steps, including a thorough background check. We also verify previous employment, check references, and look for those with the strongest history in the at home care industry. Finally, we evaluate each candidate’s personality, looking for the level of compassion, kindness, and respect that set our caregivers apart.
