I totally understand what you mean because I went through something similar with my dad last year. Honestly, it’s a delicate balance—finding someone who is both trustworthy and someone your loved one actually enjoys spending time with. What worked for us was first making a detailed list of traits that mattered most—like patience, sense of humor, and shared interests—and then doing short trial visits with a few candidates. You’d be surprised how much a single personality clash can affect the experience. Also, I found this guide really helpful for understanding the full process of finding a companion: I found this guide on how to find a companion caregiver. It goes beyond just “interviewing” people—it talks about really matching personalities and lifestyles, which made a big difference for us. Don’t rush the process; take time to observe interactions, maybe even involve your mom in choosing, and you’ll see who clicks naturally.
