Explain the service, schedule, location, condition, preferences, qualifications, and expected start date.

Providers review the request

Relevant care agencies and qualified professionals can assess fit, licensing, availability, and service area.

Discuss the care arrangement

Agree and begin care

Use a written service agreement and follow applicable clinical, licensing, privacy, and safety requirements.

For families

How to prepare a strong care request

Clear needs, schedules, safety information, and qualification requirements help providers assess the request responsibly.

Describe the person’s daily routine, mobility, communication, memory, and safety needs clearly. Separate non-medical care needs from skilled nursing or licensed therapy requirements. Ask about licenses, certifications, background checks, insurance, supervision, and relevant experience. Clarify medication responsibilities, emergency contacts, fall risks, transfers, and care-plan instructions. Confirm minimum hours, rates, travel fees, cancellations, holidays, overtime, and replacement procedures. Do not share unnecessary medical information before confirming the provider’s identity and secure communication process.

For providers

How to review care opportunities responsibly

Confirm scope, licensing, clinical requirements, staff competency, privacy, documentation, and emergency procedures before accepting.

Accept only requests that fall within your license, certification, insurance, and legal scope of practice. Clarify whether an assessment, physician order, plan of care, or referral is required before service begins. Confirm supervision, documentation, privacy, medication, incident-reporting, and emergency procedures. Use qualified staff and verify credentials, screenings, availability, and competency before assignment. Explain rates, minimum visits, travel, cancellations, scheduling changes, and replacement coverage in writing. Escalate emergencies and clinical concerns through the appropriate licensed and emergency channels.
