When sourcing private companies to provide healthcare services, finding the right nurse or caregiver for you or your family can be a daunting task. If you have specific needs or difficulty communicating, it can feel like you’re searching for the impossible. Try not to be stressed about it! Our team at Milestone Health Services Halton can help you.
Get started
Take a breath, and make a list of your needs. It’s helpful to determine your budget as well. The following checklist can help you get started:
- gather medication and medical history
- make notes on physical limitations
- list all the equipment you use
- indicate all the languages you understand
- ask people in your community about potential referrals. You may have a personal support worker or nurse living in your neighbourhood!
- talk to your doctor about reputable organizations or companies
- go online and research local options
- participate in interviews with potential candidates
- talk with your family or banker about finances
- make a list of services you need and the ones you’d like to have
- compare prices and value the way you would when budgeting for any large expense
Why is this list important?
The list above is not comprehensive, especially if your circumstances are unique. The main idea to take away is that you need to consider a nurse or caregiver’s ability to provide quality healthcare or companionship.
Nurses and caregivers are accustomed to meeting people from all walks of life. This experience, along with loads of patience, means that it takes a special person to care for someone who may need a lot of attention. Our caregivers and nurses build relationships with their patients. In addition, they must possess up to date certifications in a variety of skills.
A proper vetting process administered by a professional in the healthcare industry can give you peace of mind, knowing that your safety is a priority. Hiring someone from a publicly available advertisement may not yield the most appropriate candidate. Be aware of scams that give unverified people access to your home.
