4 Qualities of an Excellent Caregiver

Posted By Mount Carmel Assisted Living || 24-Apr-2017

One of the most rewarding and daunting occupations is a caregiver to the elderly, which is why those who are compassionate and caring are typically perfect for the job. However, there is a huge difference between good and excellent care. If you are interested in hiring a caregiver for your loved one or placing him or her in a nursing home, it is imperative to understand the important qualities which are found in exceptional caregivers.

The following are the four qualities of an excellent caregiver:

  • Values – Ethics is about doing the right thing at all times. A great caregiver will hold himself or herself to a high standard when it comes to the work they perform, ensuring that every proper step is taken for the health benefits of their patient. Unfortunately, due to the high demand that is associated with the work, many caregivers tend to take “short cuts” to make their jobs easier.
  • Empathy – Having empathy allows a caregiver to place themselves in the position of their patients in order to understand what they are experiencing and how to properly help them. In addition, an empathetic caregiver can also help build a strong relationship and good rapport with their clients.
  • Advocacy – An exceptional caregiver will always look out for the best interest of their patients. They will not sit back while their client suffers from their illness or their current state-of-mind.
  • Patience – Elderly patients require more time to perform daily tasks and additional care. An excellent caregiver will work with their patient in order to promote independence and dignity. Bad caregivers often rush their patients or provide inadequate care due to time constraints.
