Questions to Ask When Interviewing Senior Care Agencies in Denver
If your family is considering hiring an elder care professional for a loved one, preparation in key. While families often have a specific home care budget in mind, they aren't always sure what types of questions to ask beyond the financial. While it goes without saying you want quality care at a reasonable rate, there are many additional aspects of care to consider. As an experienced provider of senior care in the Denver area, Visiting Angels® Westminster CO encourages you to ask the following questions when interviewing agencies:
- Are you able to accommodate my loved one if they need care overnight? What hours are your caregiver available?
- Does your agency have a system in place for monitoring caregivers and ensuring quality care?
- How do you handle instances where a client is not compatible with their caregiver? Can they be replaced?
- Tell me about the services your agency is able to provide my loved one. What does a typical day of care look like?
- Is your agency locally operated and owned by members of our community? How long have you been doing business?
- Are your caregivers required to have previous experience working with seniors? Do you require/offer training?
- Are background checks required for all of your caregivers? What other methods do you use to screen caregivers?
- How does your elder care agency recruit and hire caregivers? Are there qualities you look for when hiring?
- If there is an illness or emergency on the part of our caregiver is your agency able to provide backup?
- Will there be an opportunity for my family member to get to know their caregiver before services are rendered?
