Before You Hire a Home Care Company, Ask These 3 Questions

Choosing a home care provider is one of the most important decisions a family can make. Before signing a contract, ask:

✅ Are caregivers licensed, insured, and background checked?

✅ How are caregivers matched to clients, and what happens if a replacement is needed?

✅ Who do I contact if I have concerns or need help after services begin?

A little research today can help prevent costly mistakes and ensure your loved one receives safe, compassionate care.

Not All Professionals Follow the Same Standards

When choosing a professional to help with important decisions, consumers often assume everyone operates the same way.

They don't.

Some professionals are committed to transparency, ethical conduct, consumer education, and putting the client's interests first. Others may prioritize sales over service.

That's why asking questions matters.

At NAOSA, our members commit to published Gold Standards of Professional Practice designed to promote consumer trust, accountability, and ethical decision-making.

Consumers deserve professionals who earn trust through their actions—not just their advertising.

Trust matters. Ethics matter. Accountability matters.

Trust Is Earned Through Actions

When consumers seek help with important decisions involving healthcare, housing, finances, legal matters, or long-term care, trust matters.

True professionals don't earn trust through advertising alone. They earn it by being transparent, educating clients, presenting all available options, and putting the consumer's interests first.

At NAOSA, we believe older adults and their families deserve professionals who are committed to ethical standards and accountability.

The right professional doesn't just provide a service—they provide confidence and peace of mind.

Because trust isn't claimed. It's earned.

Fake Medicare Calls Are Still Targeting Seniors

Scammers often pose as Medicare representatives and claim you need a new Medicare card, updated benefits, or verification of your information.

They may ask for:
❌ Your Medicare number
❌ Social Security number
❌ Banking information
❌ Credit card information

Remember:

✅ Medicare generally does not call unexpectedly asking for personal information.
✅ Never provide sensitive information to an unsolicited caller.
✅ Hang up and contact Medicare directly if you are unsure.

A few minutes of caution can prevent thousands of dollars in losses and potential identity theft.

Protect Yourself. Verify Before You Trust.
