The Importance of Character

Compassion, patience, and strength of character are all traits we desire when we’re looking for someone who can support our loved ones in their golden years. Someone with a strong character can be counted on to act with honesty, understanding, and respect. At Visiting Angels Spokane, we're privileged to work with a team of caregivers who demonstrate these qualities and it's our pleasure to be able to connect these individuals with seniors in the Spokane Valley area.

We Hire Those Who Show Character

It's the character of our caregivers that allows us to serve Spokane County with our personalized approach to compassionate home care. With them on our team, we can match families with providers they can depend on for consistent, quality senior assistance.

When we hire, we look specifically for loving individuals who are:

Attentive

With every in-home care visit, our attention is entirely on your loved one's comfort. It's important that our clients feel they can rely on us to be present, so we strive at all times to be aware of their needs, wishes, and concerns. Our caregivers not only keep careful watch but also make a point of asking your loved one how they’re doing and listening to them so that nothing is overlooked.

Thoughtful

Being thoughtful allows our caregivers to provide highly personalized care to the seniors they serve. Every one of our client relationships begins with a home consultation that lets us understand the care recipient as an individual with distinctive preferences and a unique way of life. When we carry out the care plan, we remain mindful of the individual's established routines so that our caregivers can fit seamlessly into his or her life.

Supportive

We believe that your loved one’s emotional well-being is just as important as his or her physical health. That's why Visiting Angels caregivers are supportive in every aspect of our clients' lives. Our goal is to help seniors feel helped, appreciated, and respected.

Compatible

Because no one's worldview or lifestyle is exactly like someone else’s, we tailor our services to match the individuality of the care recipient. To that end, we place a lot of importance on the compatibility of the caregiver with the client. By aligning personalities, we promote trust and longevity in our client relationships.

How Is Character Demonstrated?

People demonstrate character by treating others how they want to be treated themselves. It's a principle we learned as children, but it applies to all people no matter their age. If we continue to practice it, it can guide us as we try to do right by the people we love.

When a family makes the choice to arrange home care for their loved one, our caregivers help by providing support when needed and where needed. Our aim is to empower seniors to enjoy lives of independence, dignity, and well-being. We keep them physically, mentally, and spiritually engaged in the ways they want, always striving to honor their preferences and boundaries.

How Do You Choose a Caregiver Who Shows True Character?

By emphasizing character in our hiring, we've built an exceptional team of capable and compassionate care providers who take pride in fulfilling their duty to families in the Spokane Valley area. Together, they offer a wide range of skills and expertise, including specializations in social care, dementia care, and Alzheimer's care. Thanks to them, we're able to match you with a caregiver who shows true character and who's well-suited to your loved one's needs.

We understand that the first match may not be the best one. If you feel that something isn't quite right or that you want something different from a caregiver, we encourage you to let us know at (509) 922-1141. A coordinator will be happy to work with you to pair your loved one with a professional who meets your requirements.
