Knowing that quality caregivers are the backbone of our service, there are several qualities that we look for in our caregivers:
1. Passion
Performs duties with genuine care and concern for seniors. Caring for others is not without challenge or difficulty, but we need people with a true passion for helping others, is positive, enthusiastic, and happy to serve.
2. Compassion
Empathy and the ability to understand and relate to others, their situation, and circumstances. A compassionate caregiver can identify and relate to the pain, fear, and discomfort of those whom they serve and are eagerly to offer possible relief and comfort.
3. Patience and Flexibility
No two days are the same. When situations arise and a senior becomes uncooperative or emotional, caregivers need to offer time and space to defuse potential situations from escalating and rendering further distress to the senior.
4. Selflessness
We are all human, but even when tired, stressed, or situations become difficult, caregivers must put the needs of those with whom they serve first to preserve the health and well-being of the senior.
5. Attentiveness
Caregivers must be attuned to the physical and emotional well-being of the seniors in their care to notice possible changes in mood, health, habits, or to identify potential safety issues or concerns.
6. Reliability and trustworthiness
Caregivers need to be dependable and committed to their vocation. Regardless of time, day, weather, or circumstance, seniors and family depend on caregivers to arrive and help with daily needs.
7. Professionalism
We all have difficult days and personal issues, but it is essential that caregivers do not allow personal situations or emotions affect the mood of the senior or the atmosphere of the home. Professionalism includes separating personal emotion from duties and responsibilities.
8. Excellent communication skills
Effective communication with seniors, family, and other medical professionals includes speaking in clear and simple terms to ensure everyone is informed of possible changes in the health and well-being of the senior in their care.
9. Maintain confidentiality
Caregivers are privy to a great deal of confidential information. It is imperative that caregivers practice discretion to ensure they protect the interest and welfare of the seniors and the household.
10. Physically fit, healthy, and a strong constitution
Serving as a caregiver can require physical acumen – strength and stamina to assist seniors in their care with mobility issues, bathing, transferring and possible exercising. Similarly, caregivers need to be comfortable in caring for wounds, cleaning after accidents, and sanitizing the senior and the living area.
