5 Qualities to Look for in a Home Care Caregiver

I recently came across an interesting article from Green Tree Home Care, entitled, "5 Practices of the Best Caregivers" that I wanted to share here with out Ankota solutions Home Care Best Practices blog

I found the article to be thoughtful, in-depth, and thought it would useful to a lot of our readers here.

As always, consider what Best Practices work well for your particular situation, but I feel that this article is good food for thought.

With all that in mind, I suggest that you read the entire article here , but here are the big picture ideas that are covered in the piece. The article posits that quality caregivers posses the following attributes:

1. Lifelong Learners

2. A “Can Do” Attitude

3. A Great Communicator

4. Proper Lifting Techniques

5. A Caregiver is Completely Dependable
