If you are looking for care and support in the home for yourself or a relative, you probably have lots of questions. How much will it cost? What kind of care can I expect? How can I guarantee it will be good quality? We know that choosing a care provider can seem daunting so we have produced a FREE guide for you which we hope will help you in your journey of choosing care.
Questions to ask
There are many great providers of home care throughout Barnet. However, sometimes the amount of choice can become confusing. You may get sent lots of information, but remember, that this is about you and the care that you need for yourself or a loved one. We are happy to provide you with any advice. You can contact our team here.
Choosing home care is an important decision and you should make sure that any care provider can answer any questions that you have. Here is a list of useful questions to ask your home care provider before employing them:
- What charges will I be expected to pay?
- What services are charged as extras?
- Have your carers looked after someone with similar care needs to me?
- How will you choose the most suitable carer for me?
- Will the carer visit in an agreed time slot and will they tell me if they are delayed or running late?
- What sort of training do your carers get?
- How can I contact you during the day, in an emergency, or outside of office hours?
- If I am paying for my own care, do you have a standard contract/terms & conditions that I can read before signing?
- If the Local Authority is contributing to my care can I see a copy of the agreement they have with you?
