Protecting Your Elderly Loved One
When looking to hire a senior care professional, either
through a senior care agency or on your own, it is crucial that you make sure
that a thorough background check is performed. While you certainly do not want
to discriminate against candidates based on their personal history, you do want
to ensure that they have no criminal history that would interfere with their
ability to perform the job well.
While background checks are important in many industries,
they are exceptionally valuable in the field of home care because senior care
professionals will work in your elderly loved one's home. For this reason, it
is imperative that you can trust the elder care provider whom you hire.
Hiring a Senior Care
Agency
While you could look for a senior care professional on your
own, a local senior care agency will have the resources to find the best provider
for your elderly loved one. Not only will the local senior care agency have
access to a network of elder care professionals, it will already have the
background and certification checks in place that are necessary in hiring a
qualified home care provider.
Ultimately, when working through a senior care agency, you
can rely upon the expertise of the organization to find the best in-home care
professional for your elderly loved one's needs. In doing so, the agency should
conduct thorough background checks, consult with references, and confirm up to
date certification.
When choosing a caregiver, safety should be your number one
priority. A background check will help ensure that the senior care provider you
choose is the best fit for your family's needs.

“…safety should be your number one priority.” – Precisely. The elderly are such lovely people who deserve to be treated well and taken care of, after everything they’ve been through in life. Everyone in the agency must make sure that they can offer love and tender care for all the seniors in their agency. They must make them feel important and cherished, just like how they treat their friends and loved ones when they were young and until today.

The first steps an HR team should take is to verify that a candidate is who they say they are. Many background checks are rendered ineffective if a candidate s basic details are incorrect. For example, a candidate can avoid a criminal records check or a potential employer gaining references by omitting addresses or providing false addresses. Not including certain information does not have to be a deliberate act. It is possible for a candidate to remain undetected by providing out of date contact details, such as a maiden name. A know your candidiate check should be your first stage.

I'm glad you pointed out that an agency will be able to do a background check for you. I would make sure that you ask for the results of the background check though, if they're not readily provided for you. The care of your senior family members isn't something that you want to leave up to chance.
