Questions worth asking Dovida Nepean and Blacktown
Because there is no published rating for home care, what a provider will put in writing is the real test.
- Which services do you actually deliver yourself, and which do you subcontract? Ask who will be in the house.
- What is your hourly rate for personal care, nursing and domestic help, and what do you charge for care management? Ask for it in writing.
- As a smaller provider, what happens if my regular worker is sick or on leave, and how quickly can you cover it?
- How much of my Support at Home budget goes to your fees rather than to hours of actual care? Care management is capped, so ask them to show the split.
- How quickly can you start, and can you take me if my package is approved but not yet assigned?
