Sample Interview Questions for Alzheimer’s Caregiver Selection

Before evaluating an Alzheimer’s care provider, review our interview questions for Alzheimer’s caregivers. You will need to cover the basics, like making sure that your candidate is available during the necessary hours and that the caregiver clearly understands and feels comfortable with the contracted services (particularly personal care like toileting or bathing). But if you want to further evaluate compatibility and specific skills, Senior Helpers has compiled a list of additional questions you might want to ask in a professional Alzheimer caregiver interview.

Read a detailed list of Alzheimer’s caregiver services you’ll receive from Senior Helpers.

Senior Helpers Recommended Alzheimer’s Caregiver Interview Questions

  • What made you decide to become an Alzheimer’s caregiver?
  • What is your specific experience with Alzheimer’s care?
  • What kinds of activities, games, or projects do you like to use for entertainment and stimulation?
  • How would you respond to common Alzheimer’s issues like confusion, sudden bad temper, or attempts to leave the house?
  • What is your action plan for an emergency situation while caregiving?
  • Will you feel comfortable if family members are occasionally present while you are providing care?
  • Are you able to briefly adjust your caregiving schedule if we go out of town or on vacation?
  • Have you received CPR certification or first-aid training?
  • Do you have any other relevant special training or taken Alzheimer’s care classes?
  • If you plan to cook meals, what kind of food do you usually prepare?

By asking the right interview questions of an Alzheimer’s caregiver, you can determine a good personality match as well as learn about the experience of the candidate. Alzheimer’s care requires sensitivity, patience, and a healthy sense of humor – all things that can’t be evaluated simply on paper. Through this checklist and your own interview questions, you can find the caregiver that’s right for your situation.
