How to Interview a Home Health Care Provider
After looking at some home health care providers, interviewing them is the best way to find the best home health care provider for you. You can call them by a phone number that most providers provide on their website, or write to them by email and get their number that way. If you are uncomfortable by speaking on the phone, you can set up in-person interviews as well. You should think about these talks like job interviews. Since they give you another opportunity to learn more about the provider and help you confirm whether you can trust them. Some questions you can ask including but not limited to:
- How experienced are your caregivers?
- Do you perform background checks on your caregivers before hiring them and how thoroughly do you check them?
- Will there be a constant caregiver taking care of me or will different caregivers be going in and out of my house?
Choosing a home health care provider is a huge decision, so you should take your time and investigate as much as you can before settling on a provider.
