The Most Common Traits in Great PSWs

If you’re looking to hire a Personal Support Worker for you or a loved one, it’s important to take the time to find the right person — someone who is trained for the role and who also has the right temperament to be patient and understanding. To help you hire the perfect fit, look for a person with these common traits found in Great PSWs.

Adaptable

A PSW that can easily adapt to new obstacles and challenges is one you want on your side. Having a focused caregiver who can think on their feet and solve problems easily can help make the entire process much easier.

Understanding

It’s important that your loved one is well looked after and properly cared for, but it’s also important to have a PSW who fully understands the challenges and needs every step along the way. You want someone who genuinely cares, but who also knows how and when to set boundaries.

Friendly and Motivated

The best PSWs take the time to get to know you, your story, and what your exact needs are. They also make time for your family to explore all the options and to create a care plan that works best for everyone.

Compassionate

An essential characteristic of a great PSW is the ability to provide warm encouragement and compassion. The best caregivers are those who can connect with their patients on a personal level and show them the respect that they deserve.

Trustworthy and Honest

You need to be able to trust a PSW to provide the best care possible while feeling comfortable about the security of your home. A PSW who has a reputation for being honest and trustworthy should be at the top of your list of qualifications.

Great Communication Skills

Finding an effective communicator is highly important. Good communication skills ensure that your questions are answered, and your needs are understood. An exceptional PSW will also be able to effectively communicate with their supervisor, doctors, nurses, and other members of the healthcare system.

Professionally Trained

You wouldn’t hire an amateur to conduct a surgery, so why would you hire one for home care? Of course, you’ll want someone who has all the trained skills and qualities to thrive in this role. Hiring a graduate of a Personal Support Worker Course or Degree will ensure you’re receiving qualified care.
