Where And How To Find A Caregiver In Newport Beach, CA

Caregivers help elderly Californians and those with disabilities in myriad ways, but what’s the best way to find a caregiver and the right services for you?

What Is A Caregiver?

Caregivers are non-medical healthcare workers who assist elderly people and those living with disabilities. The non-medical term simply designates that they are not doctors or nurses; they haven’t graduated from medical or nursing school. This doesn’t mean they don’t have their own qualifications, though.

All caregivers who work for Always Best Care of Newport Beach are employees, not freelancers. We think it’s worth emphasizing this because we think it’s a superior human resources model instead of simply accepting contract workers we don’t know as well. It means we can be discerning when we’re hiring. We conduct extensive pre-employment background and reference checks. Furthermore, all our caregivers are insured for your safety and we provide initial training, ongoing support, and skills assessments to our caregivers.

“Do I Need A Caregiver?”

Caregivers help people who cannot adequately take care of themselves by themselves. If you or your loved one cannot complete the activities of daily living—e.g., getting around the house, using the toilet, bathing, remembering to take medication, eating, etc.—then you need the services of a caregiver.

It’s often advantageous to seek the services of a caregiver before you need them. This can make transitioning to care easier, smoothing over challenges while the stakes are still relatively low, so to speak.

And it’s worth remembering that care makes people’s lives easier; it’s not always about matters of life and death. For example, maybe your elderly parent can clean their Newport Beach home on their own, but it isn’t easy. Dusting hard-to-reach places and lugging a vacuum cleaner around is often painful and exhausting for seniors. Hiring a caregiver to do that for them can make their life easier and open the door to more care services if they become necessary.

“Where Do I Find A caregiver?”

There are two places you’ll find a caregiver. One is in a long-term care community. These are nursing homes, assisted living communities, and memory care/Alzheimer’s care homes. Seniors and people with disabilities live in these communities and receive care. The other place you’ll see a caregiver is in your own Orange County home.
