First, ask how quickly they can send someone to your home in an emergency. You need to know that help is just a phone call away. Second, ask how they handle pain medications and symptom relief. You want to be sure they have a plan for bad days. Third, ask how they support the family members who are grieving. Do they offer counseling? Do they have volunteers who can sit with your loved one?
