First, ask how quickly a nurse can get to your home if an emergency happens at night. Second, ask how many visits you can expect from a nurse each week. This helps you understand the level of support you will get. Third, ask what specific services the volunteers provide for the family. You might also ask if they offer help with spiritual or emotional support. These questions help you see if the team matches your family needs. Write down the answers so you can compare them later. Do not feel rushed to pick a provider. Take the time you need to talk with your doctor and your family members about the best path forward.
