If you’re in the market for a paid support service now or in the future for your aging parents, there are some key guidelines you might want to consider in your selection process.
Here are twelve key questions to ask the management of the potential service you are considering hiring for your aging parents:
1. How do you identify and define what my love one really needs?
2. How do you determine and recommend how much time is required?
3. What’s the time on a daily and weekly basis; what’s the cumulative amount of time being recommended and what’s that going to cost me?
4. What specifically will be done during the course of each visit?
5. Who will come?
6. Do I have the right to first meet and approve of the person or those who will be helping my aging parent?
7. Can you guarantee that I get the same person or people all the time?
8. When and how do you provide regular updates on what the care team finds is happening or not with my aging parents?
9. How often do we have a formal review of how the relationship is going?
10. What process and procedures do you have in place to manage any sudden critical situations that might occur with my parent?
11. What past clients can I talk with to check on your work?
12. If my loved one or I aren’t pleased with the quality of service, what recourse do we have?
