Getting to Know a Senior Care Service in Portland

You’ll feel more confident in your choice of at-home care provider when all your concerns have been addressed. Be sure to ask the following questions the next time you interview a senior care service in the Portland area:

  1. What characteristics do you look for when hiring caregivers? At Visiting Angels Portland, we aim to select caregivers who share our vision for compassionate senior care and who have the skills and background needed to provide a wide range of care services. It’s also important to us that the candidates we choose display qualities of good character, including loyalty, gentleness, kindness, and patience.
  2. How do you monitor your caregivers? Select a home care agency that monitors its caregivers using multiple methods, such as check-ins by phone and in-person home visits.
  3. Are you bonded and insured? You’ll have greater peace of mind when you know that the care service you’ve chosen is fully bonded and insured and meets all relevant state and local licensing requirements.
  4. Do you offer training for caregivers? We want to give our caregiving team the opportunity to broaden their skill base and increase their breadth of knowledge. That’s why we offer advanced training programs in areas such as Palliative Care and Alzheimer’s Care.
  5. Will you provide an alternate if I am not happy with my caregiver? Our team at Visiting Angels Portland does their best to match your loved one with a suitable caregiver. However, if you feel that we have not chosen the best fit, we’ll find another caregiver from our talented team who more closely meets your preferences.
