Empathy and compassion. It is essential that a great caregiver feel the desire to want to help. By showing both empathy and compassion, a caregiver will let the person know that they care about them. For instance, they will try and do what they can to help - not because they have to, but because they want to. Patience. When you work with someone who needs home care it is important that you are patient and understanding. So, it helps to sometimes put yourself in the other person's shoes. Try and see what it might be like to ask people for help. Reliable. A great caregiver is someone that can be counted on to be there. For example, if they say they will be there, then they show up. Those needing home care services need a reliable and dependable caregiver. Trustworthy. Most people who need home care services are in a vulnerable position. Because they are inviting someone into their home to be near their valuables. A great caregiver is someone who is trustworthy in this regard. And, being able to trust them to keep the client's information confidential is critical. Flexible. As with most things in life, needs may change and unexpected events can happen. So, it's important that a good caregiver can go with the flow. Being flexible is important to providing good care. Good home caregivers are those who naturally have an urge to help others.
