Questions to Ask a Home Care Agency

Sometimes the hardest part about finding a home care agency in the Waco area is knowing what questions to ask. Here are a few questions we recommend asking when vetting a home care agency:

• How often can care be scheduled?
• Do you offer care on weekends and holidays?
• Is live in or 24x7 care an option?
• What kind of services does your home care agency offer?
• Do you offer assistance with personal care needs (bathing, toileting, grooming, etc.)
• Do you offer assistance with homemaking activities (preparing meals, light housekeeping, etc.)?
• How do you communicate with clients and their families?
• As a client, will I have a regular point of contact at the agency?
• Do you offer specialized care for dementia, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, or other chronic care conditions?
• Is the home care agency licensed and insured?
• How many caregivers do you have on staff?
• How are caregivers chosen and are background checks conducted?
• Do you have caregivers that speak my loved one's primary language?
• Will my loved one be working with the same caregiver or team of caregivers all the time?
