“When it comes to caring for an aging loved one, or a family member with a disability or injury, families struggle to make the right decision,” says Linnea Goodrich, president of Firstat Nursing Services. Many families want to provide care themselves but can’t always provide all the time and services needed.
Prioritize Licensing and Certification – The best in-home health care services employ caregivers and nurses who are fully certified and licensed. Most require full background screening to ensure only safe, reliable caregivers access your home or the home of your loved one. In addition to individual credentials, top home health services are licensed by the state and often specifically for Alzheimer’s and dementia care.
A Higher Standard of Care is a Must – While there are likely several home health service providers in the area, be sure to look for those that have earned a reputation in the community for providing a higher standard of care. This means hiring caregivers who truly love what they do. The goal is to find a service that goes above and beyond with caregivers ready to treat their patients as family.
Friendly, Personable Staff – Top-rated medical expertise and qualifications are necessary, but so are friendliness and personality. It’s easy to focus exclusively on medical experience and forget how a home health aide’s personality or’ bedside manner’ will mesh with your family. Don’t be afraid to ask questions and take the opportunity to learn about each individual visiting your home.
