If you can, you also got to ask them about any concerns they have about the said place. If you want to talk to the clients and staff, you can just ask for some references from the agency itself.

There is a need for you to have the basic knowledge on what the agency can offer you. In order for you to know of this, you should request the place to provide you with a list of their services. You need to know whether their services is really sufficient for the elderly member of your family that you will be entrusting to them.

You also have to know what the premises are for the running of the client's errands. The more you know of this, the more you can make an informed decision.

Insurance policies are generally accepted when it comes to getting health care. However, you have to make sure of this and ask the facility that they are really accepting your insurance policies. There are facilities that only accept Medicare, Medicaid, or private insurance policies though. You might want to verify this matter properly first.
