I am looking for a caregiver position with your company I have close to thirty years experience my children are older now anad I am ready to reclaim my place in the work force and aspire to go back to school to become a nurse practitioner on the field of geriatrics which is my speciality especially in the alzheimer care and parkinsons.
I am in process of changing companies and it helps me in my decision process
Great checklist. Very good info. Hired a wonderful caregiver, who did everything, but as parents progressed I learned that this person would not administer rx's or even touch meds. Upon further questioning learned that C.M.A. certification has lapsed and had not been renewed, therefore was forbidden to administer rx's. After yet another serious health incident, parents had to go to assisted living. Kept caregiver once a week while they were in asst. living to take them out, shopping, etc. Later, this person aided in their leaving against my specific wishes. I have DPOA on both. (Please be certain that a family member has Durable Power of Attorney) Parents are not able to take care of themselves. No question about it. Had to end relationship. Sad.
Great checklist. Had a caregiver who was wonderful but would not administer or touch rx's. Not good.. Upon further questioning learned that her C.M.A. had lapsed and did not renew. Mystery solved. Not the caregiver anymore. Sad...
Good guide for families thinking about taking a much-needed respite--checklist of items to cover for an in-home care person.
Read this once before and intended to type up something to have on hand. Thanks for the reminder. Would certainly make that initial meeting flow better. Thanks
I am in process of finding new companion care and these questions will help with the interview
thank you for great information.
i did not know of all the help that is provided. THNAK YOU.
It confirmed what I already knew. I was looking for validation or anything I might have overelooked.
Great advice...
