What to Look for In a Caregiver

Most of A-1 Home Care's customers have been using our services for a very long time, and are well aware of what qualities to look for when choosing a caregiver. But for those of who may not be familiar with this field and are in search of a caregiver to help yourself or a loved one, you might not be sure where to even start.

Allow us to make the search process easier for you. As an elderly care service agency that has been diligently serving the Los Angeles and Orange County community since 1991, we have learned a lot about the care industry, customer expectations, and what it takes to be an exceptional caregiver. Here are some qualities that constitute a professional caregiver:

Experience: In order to properly care for the life of another, a caregiver must first have had legitimate experience. The caregiver of A-1 Home Care have 2 years or more experience in order to ensure the best kind of service for our customers.

Skills: We make sure, through screening process and reference verifications that our caregivers are trained in all facets of care. Along with Senior Care and 24 Hour care, our caregivers are also able to administer assistance with after-surgery rehabilitation and care for terminally ill patients.

Genuine Compassion: Even if they possess all the necessary skills, a caregiver cannot be trusted with the job unless they can exhibit care, kindness, and patience when working with patients. We are proud to say that our caregiver do possess these qualities, as we engage in face-to-face interviews and have them undergo a tough screening process.
