Good communication with the family of a senior client is an essential part of any independent caregiver business!

Caregiver communication with the family of a senior client who requires care services, is the second most important part of your caregiver position, the first is the quality care that you provide for the senior.

The family is always curious to know how the care is going on a daily basis, and if the non-medical caregiver services are being provided as promised.

Good communication is extremely valuable, and provides so much comfort for the family. A great way to stay in touch is virtually, especially if your senior client does not live in close proximity to their family.
