Best qualities every caregiver should have
Compassion
Empathy and understanding are absolutely necessary. Even when caring for an abusive person, caregivers try to remain empathetic and understanding.
Patience
People who need care often take longer to complete simple tasks. They may ask the same questions over and over. Good caregivers need the patience to deal with anything from a loved one’s memory lapses to angry outbursts. They practice staying calm and avoiding frustration.
Detail Oriented
Good caregivers are good managers. They create schedules, plan for emergencies, and organize information so they don’t have to scramble.
Willing to Set Boundaries
A caregiver should respect their own limits and say no to demands when necessary.
Humor
Finding something to laugh about can make a tough situation bearable.
A sense of humor keeps a caregiver emotionally strong and is a great stress buster.
Being Present
Good caregivers know the importance of respecting their loved one’s current abilities.Rather than focusing on what their loved one can no longer do,a good caregiver tries be in the momentwith them — lookingat photos, listening to music, cooking a favorite meal, remembering that they weren’t always sick.
Cooperative
A good caregiver is part of a care team that may include doctors, family, and friends. Being understanding and flexible goes a long way toward being a successful team player.
Assertive
Good caregivers advocate for their loved ones. They ask questions and expect answers. Good caregivers learn about their loved one’s condition, and they make sure their loved one gets the care they need
How to Became Paid Caregiver for Family Member
Many seniors prefer to be cared for by close family members, since family members may be more familiar with them, than an outside caregiver. Thus, taking on the role of caregiver for a family member can be challenging.
Many government programs allow family members, or people with disabilities, to get paid for caring for them. The Government program gets qualified people to manage their own health services, it also lets them hire family members as caregivers in some states.
