The questions below are the ones to ask before you agree to anything. Ask every agency you talk to the same list, write down how they answer, and the right fit usually becomes clear. We have grouped the twenty questions by theme so you can work through them in a logical order, and the last two sections explain how to weigh the answers and how we would answer them ourselves.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><b>BEFORE YOU START<\/b><\/p>\r\n<p><b>The five things to ask about<\/b><\/p>\r\n<table>\r\n<thead>\r\n<tr>\r\n<th>\r\n<p><b>Questions<\/b><\/p>\r\n<\/th>\r\n<th>\r\n<p><b>Theme<\/b><\/p>\r\n<\/th>\r\n<th>\r\n<p><b>What it covers<\/b><\/p>\r\n<\/th>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/thead>\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>\r\n<p><b>1\u20135<\/b><\/p>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<td>\r\n<p><b>Services &amp; care planning<\/b><\/p>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<td>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What care they offer, the assessment, and a written plan<\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>\r\n<p><b>6\u20139<\/b><\/p>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<td>\r\n<p><b>Caregivers &amp; matching<\/b><\/p>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<td>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hiring, screening, training, and who actually shows up<\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>\r\n<p><b>10\u201313<\/b><\/p>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<td>\r\n<p><b>Scheduling &amp; backup<\/b><\/p>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<td>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reliability, shift minimums, and missed-shift cover<\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>\r\n<p><b>14\u201317<\/b><\/p>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<td>\r\n<p><b>Communication &amp; changes<\/b><\/p>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<td>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Staying reachable and reviewing the care over time<\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>\r\n<p><b>18\u201320<\/b><\/p>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<td>\r\n<p><b>Fees, policies &amp; agreements<\/b><\/p>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<td>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Insurance, clear pricing, and paperwork in writing<\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\n<h1><b>Questions About Services and Care Planning<\/b><\/h1>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Start by making sure the agency actually provides the kind of help your parent needs, and that they plan it properly before anyone starts. A strong provider assesses your parent in their own home and puts the plan in writing, rather than promising a one-size-fits-all service.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<ol>\r\n<li><b> <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What personal care services do you provide, such as bathing, incontinence care, and mobility assistance?<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><b> <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you provide transportation for appointments, errands, and activities?<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><b> <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can you provide safety technology such as emergency monitoring systems and medication reminders or solutions?<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><b> <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Will you complete an in-home assessment and a written care plan before service begins?<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><b> <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How many years has your agency been caring for families in the community?<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<h1><b>Questions About Caregivers and Matching<\/b><\/h1>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Everything about home care comes down to the person who walks through the door, so how an agency hires, screens, trains, and matches its caregivers deserves close attention. Look for people who are employees rather than contractors, who have been thoroughly background-checked, and who are trained for the conditions your parent lives with, including Alzheimer\u2019s disease and dementia.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<ol start=\"6\">\r\n<li><b> <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are your caregivers employees of your company rather than contractors, and are they covered by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wcb.mb.ca\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Workers\u2019 Compensation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">?<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><b> <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you run national and local criminal and vulnerable-sector background checks and driving-record checks on every caregiver, and are personal and professional references required?<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><b> <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are caregivers bonded and insured against theft?<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><b> <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are your caregivers certified to provide personal care, and do they receive orientation and ongoing education?<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<h1><b>Questions About Scheduling and Backup Coverage<\/b><\/h1>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Care only helps if it actually shows up.

Those are the areas where a confident, well-run provider stands out.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h1><b>Questions to Ask Comfort Keepers Winnipeg<\/b><\/h1>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can ask us every one of these questions and get a straight answer. Our care is built on Comfort Keepers\u2019 Interactive Caregiving approach, which means a caregiver takes the time to know your parent as a person, their likes, their dislikes, and the stories from their life, and works that into everyday activities, whether that is playing music from their favourite era, reading a well-loved book, or looking through old family photos together. Keeping a parent engaged this way helps them stay calm, confident, and safe. We also provide specialized Alzheimer\u2019s and dementia care, and we can arrange support around the clock when it is needed. To talk through anything on this page, from how we hire and train our caregivers to how we handle scheduling and fees, call <\/span><b>(204)-488-4600<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or fill out our free home care survey, and we will give you clear answers about how we work.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Choosing a home care provider for a parent is a big decision, and the quality of agencies varies more than most families expect.
