When looking for a caregiver through a home health care agency, be sure to ask questions beyond background checks. Add these questions to the top of your list:
- Can you accommodate any length of stay?
- Can I get someone who has worked with a patient with similar conditions/illnesses my loved one has?
- Will you send another caregiver of equal skills if my caregiver has an emergency?
- Do you have a registered nurse to conduct an initial assessment and to ensure the plan of care is being executed?
