It should go unsaid, but your loved one deserves the best home care assistance possible for your budget. You should ensure your chosen agency or private provider is fully licensed and certified to state and federal requirements, and you should verify that their training is adequate for the level of care they are providing. Also ascertain that the agency does background checks when hiring and that they do unannounced drop-ins to check up on their employees once hired.
For example, companions and personal caregivers perhaps should have some amount of training in social work or another related social science and be up-to-date on the best care techniques. Conversely, home health aides should be educated and be committed to continuing their education with advanced degrees that study the unique challenges of home-based care and those that receive it.
