What to check before hiring a elderly care

Involve the elderly person in choosing the caregiver — their acceptance is crucial for the success of the care.
Make regular visits and discuss openly with the caregiver about the progress of the person being cared for.
Make sure the caregiver knows how to respond in emergencies and has the doctor's contact numbers.
Provide the caregiver with complete information about the elderly person's medical history, allergies, and treatments.
Acknowledge the caregiver's efforts and ensure they have regular breaks — a rested caregiver provides better services.
Conduct a complete assessment of the elderly person's needs before hiring a caregiver — medical, physical, and emotional.

Frequently Asked Questions

How important is it to have a written contract?

Very important. A contract protects both parties and clarifies hours, responsibilities, payment, vacations, and the termination procedure.

What do I do if the caregiver doesn't show up?

Establish an emergency procedure from the start. SmallJobs lets you quickly contact another available caregiver in your area.

How can I tell if the elderly person is comfortable with the caregiver?

Observe the elderly person's behavior: if they are calm, communicative, and cooperative, the relationship is positive. Regular family visits are important for monitoring.

Can I request a caregiver who speaks another language?

You can specify your language preference in your post. Some caregivers speak English or Hungarian, especially useful in areas with mixed communities.

Can the caregiver also be a nurse?

Some caregivers are also nurses or have medical training. They can offer blood pressure monitoring, blood sugar checks, and other basic medical services.

How do I handle it if the elderly person refuses help from a caregiver?

This is a common situation. Gradual involvement and choosing a caregiver with great empathy and patience is essential. Consult the family doctor for additional advice.
