Choosing Senior Care in Beaver Dam: 5 Questions to Ask Potential Agencies

To find the senior care agency that’s right for your loved one, Visiting Angels Beaver Dam suggests asking the following questions when evaluating agencies:

1. What are your hiring requirements for caregivers? For example, at Visiting Angels Beaver Dam, we select candidates with previous experience in senior care, strong references, and spotless background checks that also possess qualities we feel are essential to providing exceptional care, including loyalty, compassion, humor, dedication, and a sense of humor.

2. How do you select caregivers for your clients? Look for an agency that makes matches based on your loved one’s physical needs, scheduling requirements, and personal preferences. At Visiting Angels Beaver Dam, we learn about the needs and personality of every client. We take the time to carefully select a caregiver from our team that not only meets your loved one’s needs and schedule, but that also has a compatible personality. 

3. What happens if the caregiver isn’t a perfect match? If your loved one is unhappy for any reason, you should have the freedom to choose another caregiver. At Visiting Angels Beaver Dam, we take pride in making strong, lasting matches, but if it isn’t a perfect fit, please let us know, and we'll be happy to suggest another caregiver.

4. What care services does your agency offer? To avoid the need to look for another agency down the road as your loved one's needs change, look for an agency that offers a wide range of services. We offer a full range of services within our Life Care Navigation™system, including personal and companion care, memory care, certified palliative care, and Ready-Set-Go Home. 

5. When are your caregivers available? Be sure the agency is able to work with your loved one's schedule. Senior caregivers from Visiting Angels Beaver Dam are available anytime your loved one needs assistance on a full-time, part-time, or occasional basis, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
