- How will your team help manage pain and other difficult symptoms?
- Can you explain how your team communicates with our primary doctor?
Take your time to talk with the staff. Listen to how they answer your concerns. A good provider will be patient and clear. They should welcome your questions and provide honest answers. Trust your instincts when meeting with a team. You want a provider that feels right for your loved one and your family's unique situation.
