Finding the Right Home Care Provider for Your Family

Finding the best Home Care Agency can be a bit confusing, especially with so many options available and it’s important to choose a provider that fits your family’s needs. Let’s take a closer look at how you can find the best care for your loved one.

Are All Home Care Providers the Same?

It’s easy to think that all Home Care Agencies are alike, but the truth is they are not. While some may offer basic Home Care Services, others specialize in things like Dementia Care, Parkinson’s Care or Stroke Recovery Care. The best care providers will offer a variety of services and have experience in managing different health needs, making sure your loved one receives exactly the care they need with trained and experienced Care Professionals.

What to Look for in a Home Care Provider

When you’re looking for a Home Care Agency, make sure they offer the services you need and align with the things that are most important to your family. Consider asking providers you interview these questions:

• Can I be a client of your company regardless of of weekly service hours? (i.e. no minimums)
• Do you conduct regular home visits?
• Are there back-ups in place for call offs?
• Can you accommodate schedule changes? (i.e. increases or decrease in hours?)
• Are all Care Professionals drug-screened, background-checked, bonded and insured?
• Are your Care Professionals compensated within the top 25% of the home care industry?
• Are you insured for accidents in the home?
• Can I contact your agency 24/7/365?
• Are your Care Plans updated as needs change or evolve over time? After a hospitalization?
• Will you offer a family resources & training?
• Can your agency start emergency services within 24 hours if needed?
• Do you work with LTC insurance companies? Do you provide daily logs & itemized invoices?
• Do you provide annual training for caregivers?

Is Home Care Really Affordable?

Another misconception is that senior home care services are too costly. While it’s true that costs vary, Private Duty Home Care can actually be more affordable than many think. Many agencies offer flexible plans so you can find a solution that fits your budget. Plus, with home care, your loved one stays in a comfortable environment, which can reduce unnecessary hospital visits and complications.

Why Compassionate Care Makes a Difference

At the heart of great home care is compassionate caregivers who understand the needs of your loved one. Whether your aging parent or loved one needs full-time care or companionship care, the key is finding a provider with a team that listens and offers care that feels personal. Caregivers who connect with your loved one can improve their quality of life and give you peace of mind.
