Time2care conducts a thorough assessment of the service user needs, preferences, and personality traits. This can be done through consultations, questionnaires, and interviews with the service user, their family, and healthcare professionals.
We have developed a comprehensive selection process to evaluate the skills, qualifications, and experience of potential care assistants. This includes background checks, reference checks, and qualifications.

Pay attention to the client's personality traits and preferences and aim to match them with caregivers who possess complementary qualities. For example, if a client is introverted and enjoys quiet activities, pairing them with a caregiver who shares similar traits can enhance the client's comfort and satisfaction.
We implement a trial period where the care assistant and client can interact and assess compatibility. We encourage open communication and feedback from both parties to ensure that the match is successful. If adjustments are necessary, we will explore alternate matches until a suitable care assistant client pairing is achieved.
