The right questions help you understand what an agency can provide and what still needs to be confirmed. Bring a short list of daily assistance needs and your preferred schedule to the first conversation.
Clarify the service scope
Ask whether the agency is licensed, which services it provides, whether your address is covered, and how it determines whether it can meet a client’s needs.
Ask about caregiver preparation
Discuss qualification verification, background screening, orientation, training, and supervision. Ask how assignments are coordinated and how you can raise concerns about a caregiver or visit.
Understand the arrangement
Ask about rates, minimum visits, schedule changes, notice requirements, caregiver absences, and the process for ending services. Request clear information before agreeing to care.
