If you or a loved one is recovering from surgery or need long term care for a chronic illness, you may be interested in home care services. Home care agencies provide services that range from home support such as cleaning, cooking and running errands to help with transportation to MD appointments and more.
The best place to receive ongoing care may be in the comfort of your own home. But to receive quality assistance, it's important to know what questions to ask so that you hire the home care agency that's right for you.
To help you sort through your options, ask questions to help you evaluate the services. There are several facets to home care, and asking the right questions up front can help you choose the best agency for your needs.
Quality of care
• What is the professional training of the staff?
• Will the agency provide you with the services of nurses aides, CNAs or therapists? Will they work directly with you, your family members or your doctor?
• Are the caregivers bonded and insured?
• Does the agency provide a supervisor to evaluate the quality of home care on a regular basis?
• Does the agency have references on file for home care staff?
• Do employees seem friendly and helpful?
