In Home Health Like All Things, Personality Matters

 Hiring a home health aide for your loved one can be a little nerve racking. After all, you need to be able to fully trust this person and feel comfortable with them in your or your loved one’s home. Thankfully, our experts at UMC HomeWorks can help! Not only can we find you that person you can trust, but we’ll also match you with a caregiver who will truly feel like part of the family. Besides qualifications and experience, we prioritize supplying at home health aides in NJ who are:

Patient

Being a caregiver isn’t always easy, and it can have stressful moments where patience is necessary. Some seniors can have health conditions that make them more likely to feel confused, stubborn, anxious, or scared, or affect their physical mobility, speed, and strength. Our caregivers are selected for their patience and understanding because these qualities allow your loved one to move at their own pace, do things for themselves, and facilitate their independence in a safe environment.

Empathetic

Empathy is high up on the list for any caregiver, especially one who works with the elderly. By being able to put themselves in the shoes of the person they’re caring for, a good home health aide is better at every aspect of their job! Empathy allows you to better understand what the senior is going through, how their health or loss of independence makes them feel, and even helps you better anticipate their needs and evaluate their wellbeing. 

Self-motivating and adaptable

Caregiving isn’t suited to a person who has a strict regime, who doesn’t have passion for the work, or who isn’t willing to go the extra mile. Looking after an elderly person is truly a labor of love. Situations in healthcare can change in a moment, so our team of health aides is highly flexible and adaptable. Our home health aides are trained to respond quickly and efficiently to all possible situations. They are flexible and can provide respite care, post-surgical and rehabilitation care, night nursing, and much more

Great communicators

Communication is essential between the caregivers and seniors, and our caregivers speak with empathy and compassion. This will build a connection and create a relationship that allows your senior to feel safe and to freely express their needs. Additionally, caregivers play an important role in keeping family in the loop about their loved ones and communicating with doctors and other health care professionals. This means that everyone has access to the right information when they need to make decisions, as well as giving you peace of mind on how your loved one is doing.

Professional

Caring for someone’s elderly loved on is very personal and significant work, as it involves their health and wellbeing. This makes professionalism absolutely essential, giving you and your loved one attention to detail, tact, confidentiality, and reliability your personal situation requires. It also makes it easier for seniors and loved ones to manage the intimate nature of this role and welcome these services, making a home health aide a comfortable and reassuring presence in your home and not an intrusion.
