What a good senior companion looks like
In Ludlow, people hire senior care helpers for companionship, rides to appointments, light housework and check-ins for aging parents. Before you let anyone in, look for:
- Families who have trusted them with a parent
- A background check
- Patience and clear communication
- Reliability: the same person, on time, every time
Questions to ask before you hire
- What kind of help do you provide, and what don't you do?
- Have you worked with seniors before?
- Can you drive to appointments?
- How will you keep our family updated?
Red flags
- Offers medical care without any certification
- Won't meet the family first
- Pushes to handle the person's finances
Seasonal tip for Ludlow: Set up a regular check-in now so winter weather doesn't leave a parent alone.
