Here are some of the questions you should ask before choosing a home care agency:
Does the home care provider provide literature explaining its services, eligibility requirements, rates, and funding sources? Many agencies provide care recipients with a detailed "Patient Rights Statement" that describes the rights and responsibilities of providers, care recipients and caregivers alike. An annual report and other educational materials can also provide useful information about the provider.
How long has this agency been providing home care services?
Is the agency certified by Medicare?
Does the agency have a state license?
