As we get older, more and more Australians want to continue living independently in their own homes. Choosing in-home aged care also means having professional caregivers come into your own home, which can take some getting used to.
Choosing the right caregiver for you is essential to help you feel comfortable while you’re receiving care. You should feel like you can trust your caregiver and get along with them on a personal level.
At Absolute Care & Health, we go to the effort of getting to know you and your preferences so we can match you with caregivers who suit you. It’s part of what we do to provide the best quality of care for our clients.
For more information about our in-home aged care services or how we match you with the right caregiver, please get in touch.Â
What is personality matching?
By getting to know you and your preferences, we can pair you caregivers who we think you will get along well with. Feeling comfortable and supported is one of the most important parts of in-home aged care, and choosing the right caregiver will go a long way to achieving this.
Personality matching involves a lot of considerations, including:
- Would you prefer someone who you can have a friendly chat with or someone who can work unobtrusively?
- Are you looking for someone who can participate with you in activities, or events you enjoy such as taking you to football matches or accompanying you to theatre productions?
- Are you more comfortable with a male or female caregiver?
- Do you have any specific preferences or concerns?
The benefits of personality matching
The benefits of choosing the right caregiver go beyond just getting along with them. Having the right caregiver can help improve the overall quality of your care. The benefits of personality matching include:
Cultural awareness
We have a lot of experience working with clients from diverse backgrounds. Our caregivers always respect the cultural and religious practices of our clients, and we can help you participate in any community or cultural events that are important to you.
Multilingual caregivers
In many cases, we may be able to match you with a caregiver who can speak your native language. Just like our clients, many of our caregivers come from diverse backgrounds and are happy to speak to you in whichever language you prefer.
Among our many multilingual caregivers, we have team members who speak:
- Italian
- Greek
- Filipino
- Hindi
