Choosing a caregiver is one of the most important decisions a family will make.
The right caregiver brings comfort, stability, and peace of mind.
The wrong one creates stress, worry, and inconsistency.
Here’s how to choose a caregiver you can trust:
1. Look for Experience With Your Specific Needs
Does your loved one need:
• dementia support?
• mobility assistance?
• companionship?
• overnight care?
Experience matters, especially with memory care or complex conditions.
2. Make Sure They Are Properly Registered & Background-Checked
In California, a caregiver should be:
• on the Home Care Aide Registry
• cleared by the DOJ & FBI
• TB tested
• CPR certified
This protects your loved one’s safety.
3. Assess Personality & Compatibility
Your loved one should feel:
• comfortable
• respected
• understood
• listened to
A great caregiver is patient, warm, and compassionate.
4. Evaluate Communication
The caregiver — and agency — should communicate clearly and consistently.
You should always be informed about your loved one’s condition, care, and any concerns.
5. Look for a Reliable Agency
A good agency ensures:
• backups if a caregiver is sick
• supervision and support
• accountability
• professionalism
This prevents gaps in care.
6. Trust Your Instincts
If something does not feel right, it’s okay to request a different caregiver.
A reputable agency will gladly make the adjustment.
