T
he decision to hire a caregiver for a loved one might come after long, slow deliberation, or it may need to happen quickly if a loved one experiences an unexpected hospitalization. Either way, families must consider a number of issues to make the best, most informed decisions for their loved ones. One of these is deciding what caregiving looks like in your situation. Caregiving is a huge umbrella term that means different things to different people. For some people, caregiving is mostly companionship, while for others, caregiving means helping manage a health issue such as diabetes. It is important for families to have an idea of what needs they think their loved one has prior to contacting a company or home health care agency.
