- 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.
- You operate 94 services across 2 states. Who is my local contact, and will I get the same worker each visit?
- 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.
