At Home Care Assistance of Jefferson County, we understand that a caregiver will become an integral part of your loved one’s life, even if care is only provided on a part-time basis. This is why we put careful thought into our caregiver hiring and matching process. Like other home care agencies, we conduct routine criminal background and reference checks. However, we also require our caregivers to pass a PhD developed psychological examination, which helps to test for characteristics such as honesty, kindness and conscientiousness. Not only does this ensure that our caregivers are among the most qualified, but that they are compassionate individuals who have a passion for what they do. Caregivers are then matched to clients based on skill, personality and common interests, helping to foster a meaningful relationship. The individual selected isn’t just a caregiver, but a loving friend and companion who can engage your loved one in stimulating conversation, share laughs and provide emotional support.
