Start with where care would happen
A profile may name care settings or family support from a published source. The agency still needs to confirm the address, setting, and current ability to begin care.
Compare published care details- 01Name the setting
Private home, assisted living, nursing facility, or inpatient hospice.
- 02Confirm the address
Ask whether the agency currently serves the patient's exact location.
- 03Ask what happens next
Discuss referral review, evaluation, timing, and after-hours contact.
