FAQs for finding Senior Care

What are my senior care options?

There are a few considerations when it comes to creating a care plan for an elder loved one. These are largely depending on the needs and wishes of the senior and their family. We have outlined a few options below.

1. In-home senior caregiver: It is the best suited for seniors who are mostly able, want to stay at home and just need a companion for daily activities while their children or loved ones are not around.
2. Senior transportation: it is best suited for those who just need someone to drive your loved ones as needed for errands or doctor appointments. Most in-home senior caregivers can provide this option if needed.
3. Nursing assistants: they can provide medical assistance in the comfort of the senior’s own home.
4. Assisted living facilities: it is a good option when it's more convenient to move the senior person into a monitored residence where they can receive assistance with their daily activities and socialize with other residents.
5. Nursing homes: this can provide long-term medical and personal care for an elder loved one who can't be cared for at home.

Are senior care providers background checked?

We recommend all helpers including senior caregivers on AyiConnect to complete an annual background check, especially when they first sign up with us. For the helpers who have completed this background check through our certified third party provider, their profiles will display a badge indicating that the background check is completed. We also provide an option for the helpers to self report if they choose not to run a background check through us but have recently completed a background check. In this case, the background check badge will display that it is a “self reported” check.
We ask our families to perform additional due diligence if engaged through self-service, as we strive to provide so much useful information for families to assist families’ decision making. We highly recommend you interview the helpers first via call or video call, check references if available, and run a background check through us should the helper display a “self reported” badge.
