What to check before hiring a elderly care

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.
Ask for references and verify concrete experience with people with similar conditions.
Establish a clear contract that includes hours, activities, payment, and termination conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the caregiver administer medication?

Medication administration according to prescription can be done by caregivers with medical training. Others can help remind about medication times without directly handling the drugs.

Are caregivers available on weekends and holidays?

Yes, on SmallJobs you can filter people available on weekends or holidays. The price may be slightly higher during these periods.

How important is it to have a written contract?

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?
