Looking for an In Home Caregiver in Bangor or Auburn, ME? Here’s What to Look for!

When searching for an in home caregiver, most families are seeking someone who will be the perfect match for their loved one. Someone who understands their needs, preferences, and wants, meshes will with the family, and has the best skillset to provide care. An in home caregiver becomes like family and can spend countless of hours alone with your loved one, so finding the right match is just as important as creating the right care plan. At Visiting Angels, we understand that you want the best for your loved one, and we are committed to providing top quality home care.

What to Look for an In Home Caregiver in Bangor and Auburn

Trained, Certified, and Experienced

When bringing a caregiver into your home to watch after your loved one, you should ensure that they are qualified for the job! A knowledgeable and observant caregiver can note changes in your loved one’s health or moods and respond accordingly. When changes in mobility, cognition, coordination, emotional health, and other areas occur, an experienced caregiver can detect changes and alert you and your family to your loved one’s needs. At Visiting Angels of Mid Maine, we offer ongoing training and professional development to make sure our caregivers remain current in best practices.

Communication Skills

An in home caregiver should have the communication skills to be able to connect with family members, converse with health care professionals, and convey what is best for their client. Most importantly, a caregiver needs to be able to communicate honestly and thoroughly with your loved one to ensure that all their needs are fully met. If your loved one is hesitant or embarrassed, a caregiver needs to be empathetic and compassionate. At Visiting Angels Mid Maine, we match clients with caregivers based on their skillset, hobbies, humor, and personality. This allows our aides a better chance at building a communicative and long-lasting bond with their client.

Cleanliness

Many of our clients face chronic illness, mobility issues, or other physical health conditions, and may be more prone to infections and diseases, so it is important to have a caregiver who is cleanly and hygienic. Your family should look for a caregiver who understands the importance of everyday hygiene to help keep themselves, your loved one, and your loved one’s home clean, safe, and healthy.
