Common questions families ask
Questions before you choose care.
Straight answers about the guides, getting started, and what to expect.
What questions should I ask before hiring an in-home care agency?
Ask how caregivers are selected, trained, and supervised; how many different caregivers will come to the home; what happens when a regular caregiver is unavailable; how the agency communicates with family; and how the care plan changes as needs change. Our free guide, “20 Questions to Ask Before Hiring an In-Home Care Agency,” gives you the full checklist to bring to every interview.
How do I know if it’s time for help at home?
Watch for small changes: missed meals or medications, a home that is harder to keep up, trouble with bathing or getting around, or a family caregiver who is worn out. There is no magic score. A few small concerns can matter just as much as one big one. Our “Is It Time for Help at Home?” self-check helps your family talk it through before the situation becomes urgent.
Are the guides really free? Do I have to use ComForCare?
Yes, every guide is free, and you can use it with ComForCare or with any agency you are considering. You do not have to choose ComForCare. The goal is to help you know what good care looks like.
Will someone call me after I request a guide?
Only if you ask for a call. Your checklist opens right after you submit the form. A local care advisor will reach out only if you check the “Yes, I’d like someone to call me” box.
Which guide should I choose?
Pick the guide that best matches your family’s situation today: memory care, Parkinson’s, treatment recovery, coming home after surgery, respite for family caregivers, adults with disabilities, 24/7 care, managing a parent’s care while working, or maternity and postpartum support. If you are not sure, start with “20 Questions to Ask Before Hiring an In-Home Care Agency.” Each guide stands on its own.
