It is also good to ask how they handle pain and other symptoms. You should find out which staff members will visit most often. Ask how they keep your family doctor updated on the care plan. You might also ask if they have experience with your loved one's specific diagnosis. Another key question is how they support family members who are grieving. Do they offer counseling or other resources? Finally, ask about their backup plans if a staff member cannot make a visit. Getting these answers gives you peace of mind. Write down your questions before you call to ensure you do not forget anything. Being prepared makes the process much smoother for everyone involved in the care.
