Having fully insured and bonded caregivers protects your loved one against any theft or damage to their home. In fact, we’d go as far as to advise you to only choose a provider of senior care in Jacksonville if they offer this service as standard.Not only that, are employees are all covered by Worker’s Compensation, so if they suffer any injury while in your loved one’s home, we’ll foot the bill, not you. How are your staff that provide home care in Jacksonville vetted?Our vetting process is one of the most extensive in the industry. We take this strict approach as we only want to supply the best senior care in Jacksonville, and to be able to do that, we have to have the best staff.Even if our recruitment team are impressed with a candidate’s character and experience in an interview, they’ll still have to pass a criminal background check, drug screening, and be referenced checked before they’re able to take up the role.What hours do your staff provide in-home care in Jacksonville?We know from our decades of experience that every family’s needs are different. And we also know that providing elderlycare in Jacksonville isn’t your typical 9-5 job. That’s why here at Always Best Care, our caregivers are available 24 hours a day, every day of the year. It doesn’t matter whether your loved one needs a hand getting up out of bed on Christmas morning or if they need tucking into bed on New Year’s Eve, a senior’s needs never stop, so we don’t either. Will my loved one have the same caregiver to provide them senior care in Jacksonville on every visit?Yes and no. We always match your loved one to the most suitable caregiver, who will then become responsible for your loved one’s care for as long as you’re happy for them to do so. We believe that by having the same caregiver for each visit, your loved one will start to feel more comfortable in their care, and hopefully over time, will even start to see them as a friend.There may be odd occasions, however, when a substitute caregiver may have to step in to handle your loved one’s care for a short period of time. All of our caregivers are advised to stay off work if they become ill to reduce the risk of them passing on the bug to your loved one. In a scenario such as this, a substitute caregiver that has been briefed in your loved one’s preferences will step in.It’s also worth considering the hours of the day that your loved one will require in-home care in Jacksonville. If for example, they need help to get out of bed in the morning and being tucked in at night, it’s extremely likely that a minimum of two caregivers will be involved in your loved one’s care. This is just to ensure that every caregiver has an appropriate amount of time to rest in between shifts, otherwise, the standards of their care may fall.How will my loved one be matched with their caregiver that’s responsible for providing their senior care in Jacksonville?The physical requirements of your loved one’s home care in Jacksonville is one of the first things we take into consideration.

We’ll ask you or your loved one to fill out the same quick questionnaire that all of our new caregivers have to once they join the company. From that, we’ll match up any interests, such as a love of jazz music, to try and find the perfect match for your loved one.We find that by having some interests in common, it helps to build a bit of common ground that makes the process more comfortable for your loved one. How are your caregivers trained to provide senior care in Jacksonville?The large majority of staff that we take on at Always Best Care have some prior experience of caregiving, but despite this, we still ask them to take part in a week’s worth of induction training before they begin any new role. This is just to help them to understand the high standards of care we expect from all of our caregivers, while the week also gives them the opportunity to brush up on any areas that they may be a little rusty.Even members of staff that have been with us for a number of years still have to take part in yearly refresher training courses that involve learning about the latest technology and care treatments available in the industry.This is all done to ensure that Always Best Care supply the safest elderly care in Jacksonville.Why should I choose your elderly care in Jacksonville instead of an independent provider?To say it’s a little confusing choosing a senior care provider in Jacksonville would be somewhat of an understatement.
