First, ask how quickly a nurse can get to your home if a problem happens at night. You should also ask how they manage pain and other symptoms. It helps to know which staff members will visit most often. Ask how they communicate with the patient's regular doctor. You might also ask if they have experience with the specific illness your loved one faces. It is smart to ask how they handle emergency calls on weekends. Do not be afraid to ask about their quality scores or their recent survey results. A good provider will be happy to share this information with you.
