First, ask how quickly a nurse can get to your home if an urgent issue happens at night. Second, ask how the team will communicate with your primary doctor. Third, ask what specific support they offer to family caregivers who are tired or overwhelmed. Finally, ask if they have volunteers who can sit with the patient for a few hours.
