- Ensure all key services and expectations are clearly discussed
- Capture answers and identify the best fit for your needs
Preparing for a Home Care provider meeting
Meeting with a potential Home Care Provider is an important step in your aged care journey. Whether you’re arranging care for yourself or a loved one, these meetings help you understand what services are available, how care will be delivered, and whether the provider is the right fit for your individual needs.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, categorising what you need to address into three key areas, will help: Services, Quality of Care and Cost.
The checklist has been put together by our team to help you dig a little deeper into what you need to know and understand in this journey. However, there is no such thing as being too prepared, so to help, here are some additional questions you could ask.
We have covered many topics on the subject of home care over the years and have in turn created a valuable repository of sources for reference. You will be able to find answers to many questions you may have, and if not, our friendly team is just a call away. We are available 7 days a week to assist.
