Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Home Care Agency

  1. How does the cost of staying in my home compare to living in an assisted living facility?

Depending on your needs, the costs associated with in-home care can be comparable or less than the costs of an assisted living facility. Choosing Inspired Care Solutions allows you to remain in your home (where 83% of seniors prefer to be) and maintain a level of independence within a comfortable and familiar environment. Typically, you can have 7-10 hours of in-home care 7 days a week for the cost of moving to an assisted living facility. We find our clients rarely need 24/7 care. At Inspired Care Solutions you have options, you can determine if in-home care allows you to remain safe and independent in your own home before moving to an assisted living facility. We will design the care and services to meet your current needs and plan for your future needs.

  1. Are your services only for seniors?

No. We care for all ages, at all stages of life. The circumstances that create a need for home care are as varied as our clients. Perhaps your child has a disability and requires care 24/7. Maybe you’re caring for a spouse who recently had a stroke and can no longer bathe or dress on their own. Has a parent recently moved in with you, unable to manage living alone? We proved customized care solutions for your unique situation. 

  1. Do you provide services in long-term care facilities or assisted living facilities?

Yes. People sometimes discover that the assistance provided in a facility is not enough. At Inspired Care Solutions, our caregivers can provide that one on one care and additional TLC you or your loved one may need.

  1. How are caregivers selected for a visit?

Once our Care Designer completes the initial consultation, together, we will determine the needs, desires and ultimate goals. We will select the most suitable caregivers based on level of care, likes/dislikes and the information gathered during the consultation. At Inspired Care Solutions we know how important it is to establish consistency and continuity of care. We want to reimagine the way aging and home care is experienced for you and your family. Our true inspiration lies in finding ways to encourage, excite and understand our clients. We know better quality of life is always possible through inspired caregivers.

  1. What happens if my caregiver is not available?

We know life happens and there may be times when your “regular” caregiver (s) is not available. We develop a team of caregivers who are familiar with you or your loved ones’ care and needs. We work very diligently to develop the consistency and continuity of care you desire and deserve.

  1. How do I change the schedule or cancel a visit if I have an appointment?

At Inspired Care Solutions our philosophy is to make the schedule work for you and your family! Your needs and requests come first and we are always willing to work our best to accommodate your request. You can reach out to us via the Family Portal, email at [email protected] or call the office at (830) 225-2273.

  1. Do I have to sign a contract for services and am I committed for a specified period of time?

The Texas Health and Human Services requires we have a service agreement on file. However, the service agreement is simply an agreement stating we have met with you and can provide the care and services you are requesting. It informs you of our business practices procedures. We ask for 24 hours notice to cancel service , however we understand emergencies arise.

  1. Are your caregivers drug tested and is your agency bonded?

Yes – a drug test, background check, Employee Misconduct Registry and National Aide Registry check are all done at time of employment, annually and randomly with or without cause. Inspired Care Solutions is bonded and licensed by Texas Health and Human Services Commission.

  1. What areas of Texas does your Home Care Agency serve?
