How to choose your at-home carer
You should be able to choose the care professionals that provide your at-home care.
It is, however, a difficult question most care providers would care not to have to answer.
They know that it is what every customer would like, but one that is rarely offered.
So, “Can I choose the carers and help that I want?”
The simple answer is – yes you can, with Friends Helping at Home!
Here are some questions to ask your potential care provider
Can I:
- Choose the carers that my care company provide?
- Choose the times that I want homecare visits?
- Have the continuity of service with the same carers known to me?
- Have the flexibility to change the hours?
- Get other jobs done – e.g. washing up, cleaning, shopping?
- Have a single point of contact to help me plan – as my circumstances change?
- Top up on my direct payments?
If you ask us we can say YES to all of the above.
