Checklist

Questions to Ask Before Hiring Home Care

Families often know they need support but are not sure how to evaluate the options in front of them.

Use this checklist to ask clearer questions before choosing a home care provider or caregiver arrangement.

Useful for families comparing agencies, private caregivers, or different levels of in-home support.

Questions about caregiver quality

  • How are caregivers screened before they work with families?
  • What experience do they have with the type of care we need?
  • How do you decide which caregiver is the right fit for a client?
  • What happens if the first caregiver is not the right fit?

Questions about communication and reliability

  • Who should the family contact with concerns or schedule changes?
  • How quickly can care start if the need becomes urgent?
  • How do you handle call-outs, coverage gaps, or last-minute changes?
  • How are updates shared with family members?

Questions about the actual care plan

  • What exact tasks will the caregiver help with each visit?
  • How flexible is the schedule if needs increase?
  • Can this care plan combine companionship, personal care, or recovery support if needed?
  • What should the family expect in the first week of care?
