These days it is sometimes easier to do things on your own. Outsourcing is not always the best way to solve a problem. clear things need to be done by other population while major issues are best handled directly. Home care is a rapidly changing issue in America. The elderly population are living longer and group safety is cutting back. population have to work and maintain their immediate family, let alone their extended house which includes their parents. Hopefully, these five steps will help in selecting an proper home care worker for your elderly house member.
First, put an ad in the paper or free classified. Hopefully you select a paper that reflects what you are finding for. In other words, if you are seeking a Yiddish speaking person. You would have to post a help wanted advertisement in a Yiddish newspaper to attract that type of person. Usually, an older house member might feel more comfortable with a person from their own culture. The foods, demeanor, and culture would be similar to the patient and therefore accommodate the patient. A easy phone interview with a candidate of their past palpate and their current status could give you feel of the person to see if you want to meet with them. Tell them what you are willing to pay and if they are willing to accept the salary, you can Move onto the next step.

Secondly, you need to interview candidates. If you do not feel comfortable meeting them in your home. You can meet them in a group place. I would say a group library. Some libraries have rooms that you can maintain for free. A meeting time can be arranged after your telephone interview with the person. Give the person a sample reading test or just basic understanding test you photo copy out of an entrance exam booklet(you can also get at the library, Free). Twenty to Fifty questions should be enough.
Third, Talk to them after they have successfully passed the written test then ask for references and let them know that they will have to take a drug test and you will be doing a background check as well. Give them scenarios of emergency situations that could occur and see how they would deal with it. Also have a plan of what you want from the aide. In other words, a agenda should be laid out for the aide to keep your house member active and stimulated. For example the aide could take them to museums, movies, or a theatrical show
Fourth, make sure you assuredly get data from their old work or school and you verify all the information. If the person does not have any references from this country then ask them to get a reference letter from their pastor or church on letter head vouching for them.
Lastly, have them meet your house member and gauge the interaction from the body language. Let your house member ask them questions and hopefully they will work great together.
This business is sometimes hit or miss. When dealing with population things may change. So, always keep that in mind. Even if you pick one person after the initial interviews. Have two or three population as backup just in case your first candidate does not work out. Good luck
