Ask how quickly a nurse can get to your home in an emergency. It is also good to ask about their experience with your specific diagnosis. See how they support family members who are grieving. Do they offer counseling or other resources? Ask what happens if you are not happy with the care. A good provider will explain their process clearly. They should be open about their services and their limits. Take notes during your talk so you can compare your options.
