🌷 Your Loved One Needs Help — How Do You Choose the Best In-Home Care? 🌷

Finding care for someone you love can feel overwhelming. Before you decide, take a moment to ask these important questions:

💜 1️⃣ What do you know about the company you’re calling?
Do they have a good reputation?
How long have they been in business?
What are your friends and neighbors saying about them?

💜 2️⃣ How can the home care company help?
What services are available — cooking, laundry, groceries, help with bathing, light housekeeping, companionship, or rides to appointments?
Is there a Social Worker or Nurse (Care Manager) who can meet with your family to create the best care plan?

💜 3️⃣ Who are the employees?
Are caregivers honest, dependable, and supervised?
Do you pay them directly, or does the agency handle payroll?
What happens if the caregiver isn’t the right fit?

💜 4️⃣ How much will this cost?
Can you afford it?
Are there programs or benefits that might help pay for care?
Would it be less expensive to move into Assisted Living?

💜 5️⃣ Is the home care company insured and bonded?
Are both the company and employees covered?
Should you let the caregiver drive your car?

👉 Choosing in-home care is a big decision — take your time, ask questions, and find the trusted support your loved one deserves. 💕
