Scheduled visits
For agreed tasks at a specific time. Ask about duration, inclusions, supplies and whether repeat visits are needed.
Care shifts
For a longer period of daily support based on assessment. Discuss hours, tasks, handover, breaks and cover outside the shift. Not all durations should be assumed available.
Live-in arrangements, if available
Requires detailed agreement on tasks, accommodation, rest, backup and responsibilities. Living in does not mean uninterrupted work or a substitute for every medical specialty.
Cost factors
Service type, duration, frequency, area, professional skills, supplies and equipment all affect cost. Ask for extra fees and change or cancellation terms. Ask for a quote matching the tasks and duration you need.
