- How quickly can a nurse get to my home in an emergency?
- What kind of support do you provide to family caregivers?
- How does your team handle pain and other difficult symptoms?
- Can you tell me about the training your staff members receive?
Take notes during your conversations with different agencies. Think about which team makes you feel heard and understood. Trust your instincts when you talk with the staff.
