Caregiver Tips on Confidentiality

This is a small post to remind future caregivers to keep information and names about clients confidential. Do not talk about your clients to your friends, relatives and other clients. Caregivers need to remember that clients information is private.

If you receive a telephone call from a client, client's caseworker or clients family members, look around and make sure nobody is listening to your conversation. Any little information that someone gathers can ruin, damage or end your care giving career. Specially if employed through a state home care worker's program. You should always keep information to your self and within other co-workers or caregivers.

If you believe you need to tell someone something about your client, you should call their state caseworker or family member that hired your caregiving services. Also, sharing information with the next scheduled caregiver is ok as long as it pertains to what is needed done with client.
