Hiring a caregiver is one of the most important decisions a family can make—and the most empowering when done right. Whether your loved one needs support with daily tasks, mobility, companionship, or personal care, the right caregiver can improve both their quality of life and your peace of mind.

Start by clearly identifying your family’s needs. Make a list that includes specific tasks like medication reminders, meal preparation, help with bathing, or transportation. Once you know what you're looking for, create a list of “must-have” skills and “nice-to-haves.” Then, begin interviewing with purpose.
During interviews, ask questions like:
“Tell me about a time you helped someone through a difficult moment.”
“How do you handle emergencies?”
“What type of caregiving work do you enjoy the most?”
Don’t skip reference checks. Talking to former clients gives you critical insights into reliability, attitude, and professionalism.
At Caregiver Group, Inc., we help families like yours connect with qualified, pre-screened caregivers who are ready to work directly with you. Because we’re a registry—not a caregiving agency—you choose who comes into your home, and you pay them directly. This gives you more control, costs you less, and ensures your caregiver earns a livable wage. It’s a win-win model for everyone involved.
