Twenty Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Home Care Agency

Everyone selects in-home care for different reasons.  The keys are to recognize when to introduce care and how to select the right care provider.  Here are some questions that can help you make the decision on whether you should consider in-home care.

• Has there been a recent emotional or medical crisis with a loved one?
• Does your loved one need help walking?
• Is your loved one unable to do errands alone?
• Have there been recent falls?

If you can respond “yes” to even one of these questions, perhaps it is time to consider in-home care.  But, before you select who your care provider will be, make sure you ask the right questions.
