Ask how many patients each nurse typically sees in one day. You also want to know who is on call during the night and on weekends. It helps to ask how they handle pain management and comfort medications. Ask if their staff can visit on weekends or holidays if a problem arises. Find out what specific services their volunteer provides for the patient. Finally, ask if they have experience with the specific health condition your loved one faces. Getting clear answers helps you feel more confident in your choice. Be sure to write down the answers so you can compare them later.
