Questions to Ask when Interviewing a Senior Care Agency in San Angelo

Making the decision to find a senior care agency for your loved one is a difficult step in and of itself. It requires your family to accept that someone you love is no longer able to care for themselves, and that you as a family may not have the skills or experience to help them on your own. With that in mind, it's important to make sure the senior care provider you choose in San Angelo is able to support your loved one, starting by asking the right questions.

What to Ask When You Meet With a Care Provider

If you're meeting with a senior care professional face to face in San Angelo, or you plan to start calling agencies in the area, you can use these questions as a starting off point for your conversation:

• How long have you been in business?
• What type of care do you offer? What's the difference between the types of care you offer?
• What relationships do you have to the San Angelo community?
• How would you describe your caregiving team? What skills or experience do they have?
• Do your caregivers have the necessary training to meet my loved one's needs? (medical, non-medical, etc.) 
• What skills do you require when you hire new caregivers? What other qualities are important to you? 
• Do your caregivers go through background checks? How do you make sure they're qualified? 
• What procedures do you have in place to check the quality of care that your caregivers provide? 
• Do you offer personalized care plans? How do you establish a client's care needs? 
• What happens if my loved one's condition changes?
• How do you assign caregivers? What's the process for replacing a caregiver or finding a substitute?
• How involved will family members be in developing this care plan and approving caregivers?
